When a leader does something wrong in the workplace, how should he give the leader a step down?

Leaders make mistakes, especially in front of everyone. Should we treat them as mistakes? Generally speaking, we can make three choices: point out the fault, turn a blind eye or take the initiative to bear the fault. As a subordinate, the wisest thing to do is to take the initiative to bear the responsibility for negligence.

Lao Wang, the marketing director of a company, made an appointment with a customer and went to the hotel to talk about cooperation at 9 o'clock the next day. Xiao Li, marketing director, will accompany the leaders to attend the meeting. The night before, Xiao Li confirmed the time and place to meet Lao Wang by phone. "Lao Wang, we will arrive at the hotel at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. I'll pick you up at eight sharp, and then we'll go to the hotel together. " At 8 o'clock the next morning, Xiao Li arrived at Lao Wang's downstairs on time and sent a text message saying, "I have already arrived downstairs, waiting for you to go to the hotel." Nevertheless, Lao Wang didn't go downstairs in time until half past eight. He was five minutes late when he went to the hotel, and the customer was obviously very dissatisfied.

Seeing that the customer was unhappy, Lao Wang quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Then Lao Wang turned to Xiao Li and scolded him, "Xiao Li, why can't you arrange such an important thing in advance?" "How can you keep such an important customer waiting for such a long time? Study hard when you go back, you won't want this month's bonus! If everyone is like you, what development does the company talk about? "

Hearing this, Xiao Li felt very wronged. He called in advance to confirm, waited downstairs on time in the morning, and sent a text message to inform him that it was nothing. The problem is that it all depends on Lao Wang. However, Xiao Li is still very clever. He knows that the leader scolded him for saving face and making the guests happy, so he can only be taken as an example. Xiao Li realized that he wanted to help the leader and give him a step down. He quickly said, "I'm really sorry. This is my dereliction of duty. I will definitely review when I go back, and I will never make the same mistake again. " Xiao Li took the initiative to assume all the responsibilities, at the same time, let customers rest assured, let the leaders have a step down, and everyone is happy.

In fact, in the workplace, for subordinates, it is a good thing to be able to take fault responsibility for leaders. Because leaders know it's their own fault, in order not to feel guilty, they will definitely compensate their subordinates for taking responsibility for themselves in other places, such as promotion, salary increase, bonus or promotion. In other words, the sooner and more cleanly you shirk the mistakes and responsibilities of leaders, the less opportunities you have for growth and the slower you will be. But if we can take the initiative to be responsible for the leaders in time, we will have more opportunities for growth and get more compensation from all sides.

To some extent, as an excellent subordinate, you must learn to be responsible for the leader. So your career path will go further and further!
