Leaders never like the most capable employees

Mondo Workplace Updated on 2024-01-30

Introduction:Why is it said that the favorite of leaders is never the most capable employees?Today with you**.

I often have young friends ask me, "I have a strong work ability, why don't the leaders reuse me?"”

This is actually very common. If you stay in the workplace for a long time, you will find that:

The most capable ones are not necessarily reused;The hardest working ones may also be the first to be laid off.

Because, in the leader's evaluation system for employees, work ability is just a measure.

The ability is strong, and it can only ensure the lower limit, but not the upper limit。Leaders certainly like the competent, but often not the favorite.

Why do you say that?Let's talk about it.

Attitude is more important than abilityLet me ask you a question first: is ability important, or is attitude important?

Some people think that it is ability, but in fact, it should be more important to pay attention to attitude.

If you have the ability, but without the attitude, your ability will not be able to play out.

Some people are very capable and have high expectations from their leaders, but when they encounter problems, they are unwilling to take responsibility and retreat, thus missing opportunities for growth again and again.

And if a person has an attitude, his ability can be slowly completed.

Ability determines whether you can solve the current problems, and attitude determines whether you can solve the problems of the future.

So, what kind of attitude will be liked by the leader?

1. Attitude towards doing things

When encountering things, do not run away, can take the initiative to raise your hand and say "I come", and dare to carry things.

After you get things done, you have to do everything you can to get it done.

Many people promise to be good when they arrange tasks. But in the end, they didn't do it at all, or they did it perfunctorily, and when the leader finally asked, they found a lot of reasons.

This kind of person who can't do it will leave an unreliable impression that no one will like it.

So, you have to have a problem-solving attitude. Once promised, we must find a way to fulfill it, do our duty, and do our best to do things well, and if you can achieve 100 points, you will not only achieve 80 points.

After doing things, we should also have a diligent attitude, review the results, review the process, summarize the experience and lessons, and make progress every time compared to the previous one.

2. Attitude of life

It's your values, what do you pursue, and what do you stick to?When faced with a choice, what do you prioritize and what do you think is valuable?

If a person does not have his own principles, does not have his own correct three views, and does not have what he adheres to, he will not be able to go far.

In my opinion, people with poor character background, no matter how strong their ability is, must not be used.

Because the stronger his ability, the more influence he will have in the organization, and the more people will worship him. His bad behavior will infect other people, and the harm caused by such a person is extremely great.

So, attitude is very important, and your attitude determines the attitude of others towards you.

Good at communicating effectively.

Today's workplace is a networked organizational structure where people are interconnected. Therefore, communication is particularly important.

However, some people are reluctant to communicate, or afraid to communicate.

When he saw the leader, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, hiding and walking, holding back his own problems, not going to the leader for help, but waiting for the leader to come to him.

In the face of colleagues, he is very arrogant, unwilling to communicate, neglecting teamwork, or like a hedgehog, covered in thorns, making it difficult for people to approach, let alone communicate effectively.

If you're afraid to communicate with your leader, how will your leader remember you?If you're not willing to communicate with your colleagues, how can your leaders trust you to do things well?

So, you have to learn to communicate and do a good job in interpersonal relationships. When it comes to communication, there are 3 important principles:

The first, sincerely.

Sincerity is the same as the inside and the outside, the same inside and the outside, what you think, you say what you say, this is called sincerity.

Sincerity is not a false courtesy, but an understanding of oneself and others.

No one is stupid, and a lack of sincere purpose is easy to discern insight. Once someone labels you as "insincere", the basis of trust is gone.

Without trust, no communication is effective.

Second, empathy.

When you disagree, when you can't understand, try to put yourself in the other person's shoes, empathize with them, and figure out why he said thatWhat is the purpose of these words?

When you change positions, you will look at things from a different perspective, think more comprehensively, and it will be easier to achieve the purpose of communication.

Third, constructive.

What does it mean to be "constructive"?That is, your communication must have results and constructive value.

For example, if you achieve a goal that seems difficult to achieve, you need to break it down into reasonable steps.

It is constructive to solve problems step by step and implement common goals.

And this is exactly what communication is all about.

In the soldier's position, the chest is handsome.

The Toyota Work Act reads:At Toyota, employees are expected to see things from a higher vantage point than they are now.

What does that mean?Although you are an employee, you should not only stare at your own one-third of an acre, you must elevate yourself, and you must have a vision and pattern

1. Vision

There is a concept in psychology called:Voyeuristic effect

It is to the effect that when a person's eyes can only see through a tube, then he can only see what is inside the tube.

If you are at work, you are drawn by trivial and miscellaneous things every day, then you only have the number of tasks in your sight, and you will not think about how to improve efficiency and improve the quality of work.

It is often difficult to see the whole picture of things when you only look at things from your own standpoint.

Therefore, you should jump out of the identity of employees, look at the problem from the standpoint of the leader, clearly know the goals and expectations of the superiors, clarify the long-term and short-term goals of the organization, grasp the key points, and do the key work well.

2. Pattern

What is a pattern?The pattern reflects your view of things and people.

When you encounter setbacks, don't complain, but actively change, find a way, and solve the problem;When treating people, we can accommodate people's strengths and make up for people's shortcomings, and can actively fill positions in the team to drive the team to grow together.

The pattern is often reflected in the details. An employee with a pattern will not regard work as an errand, but will make overall arrangements in the overall situation of the work, and do every step carefully in the details.

This kind of employee, who is both a general and a soldier, will be welcomed by the leader when he walks to the **.

Finally, to sum up: what leaders like most is never the ability of employees, but the possession of these 3 qualities:Positive attitude;Good at communicating effectively. In the soldier's position, the chest is handsome.
