How to deal with leaders’ idealistic decisions

Joseph is the manager of a large gold jewelry store in Mexico State. Under Joseph's management, this gold store has a prosperous business. Unexpectedly, one night, a fire suddenly broke out in the store, and the three-story store was burned to the ground. Joseph felt that opening a gold store was not the best way out. It would be very difficult to rebuild the store, restock the goods, and raise funds. But the boss decided to start over. Joseph was full of doubts, but when he realized that his boss was not an impulsive person, he put his mind down and started working actively. When the store was built and reopened, the boss set up a display window in front of the door. Inside were all the ornaments burned in the fire. In front of the window was a big slogan: Real gold is not afraid of fire. In this way, people will be more convinced of the purity of the gold in this store, and the number of customers will increase, and the business will go up.

Joseph chose to believe in his leader’s decision-making and ultimately succeeded. Sometimes, being unable to understand the leader's intentions for a moment, choosing to believe is also a kind of vision, and this vision comes from trust in the leader and is based on the leader's vision. Of course, this is not blind obedience, it must be based on understanding. The so-called understanding means understanding the leader as a person and the whole story of the incident. Being a person is the source of trust, and events are the basis of trust. When the judgment of an incident is unclear, people should be given priority.

Believing in the leader’s decision-making is also a workplace ability. Faced with incomprehensible decisions, what you do directly determines your own vital interests. And choosing to believe means choosing a direction and an opportunity.
