When organizing the meeting, a colleague kept looking down at his mobile phone, and the leader deliberately asked him by name what he had just said. The colleague was stunned for a moment, claiming that he hadn't heard.
The leader glared at the colleague sternly and asked the HR manager to deal with the matter after the meeting. Confused, the colleague hurriedly put away his phone and stared at the leader. At the same time, other colleagues whose thoughts had begun to drift away also became focused. Discipline was immediately restored.
In fact, the leader has long noticed that many employees are slacking off, and the reason why he chose to name this colleague is because he behaved the most excessively, looking down at his phone all the time during the meeting.
The leader did this both to punish him and to serve as a warning to others.
Afterwards, the colleague complained in private, believing that he was not wrong, as a private enterprise, meetings are always frequent and the leader likes to talk at length, who can stand it!
In fact, meetings are not only an event for state-owned enterprises, but also for private companies, whether to communicate regulations or reach consensus to solve problems. However, as a business manager, you must be prepared before the meeting, and your speech should be concise and concise, so as to avoid being lengthy and boring.
As an employee, since the leader organizes the meeting, you should give a certain amount of respect, listen carefully to the leader's speech, and take good notes.
In case you are criticized for slacking off by name, don't admit that you are distracted or didn't hear it, which will only attract reprimands from the leader and have the effect of warning others.
In the workplace, when we are faced with this embarrassment, there are some effective ways to deal with it:
1.Clever explanation, no admission of distraction.
While honesty is a virtue, it is not wise to admit that you are distracted in this situation. You can subtly respond by saying, "I'm thinking and pondering, and I don't have any good suggestions yet, and I'll report to the leader when I have it."
2.Praise the leader for a speech.
Whether you hear it clearly or not, praise the leader's speech. It can be said that the leader's speech has benefited me a lot and opened up new ideas. Anyone loves to hear compliments, and leadership is no exception.
3.Affirm leadership ideas and maintain a humble attitude.
Although I don't know what the leader said, I can praise him for his comprehensive speech, and the views of his colleagues are also very good, and I agree with the leader's ideas and decisions, and there is nothing to add.
Praise the leader and colleagues, the leader will be happy, and the colleagues may give some support. Then express that you will conscientiously complete the tasks assigned by the leader.
