Workplace life is like walking in ancient times, although the workplace is not as full of swords and swords as walking in the rivers and lakes, but it can be regarded as ambushing everywhere.
The rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes, and the workplace has the principles of the workplace, and it is inevitable to deal with the leaders in the workplace, but you must be more careful when getting along with the leaders. The way to get along with the leader is like walking on a tightrope in the sky, I don't know whether there is light or the trap of wolves, jackals and leopards ahead, and I don't know whether the ladder out of confusion or the darkness of the abyss below.
Sometimes, the leaders who seem to appreciate you and praise you may be "praising you" and playing tricks on you.
You may retort that the workplace is so dark, and the leaders I have met are very good!It may be that there is no contradiction and conflict of interests between you and the leader for the time being, or maybe you are a relatively simple-minded novice in the workplace, even if the leader is digging a hole for you, you will jump down without hesitation.
I believe that everyone in the workplace has heard the mantra of these leaders praising their subordinates: "I can rest assured that this job is only in your hands", "this project must be yours, and no one else can replace it", "you are the most senior and most capable person in the company, you are out, I can rest assured" ......
In the face of the leader's praise, many people's first reaction is that my efforts have been seen by the leader, and the leader has finally begun to appreciate me, and the day of my promotion and salary increase is coming.
But whether these compliments are sincere and well-intentioned, we have to learn to discern them. If no matter what you do, the leader praises you, then you have to be careful, this kind of praise may not be sincere, maybe the surface praise and praise you, but in fact it is "killing" you, maybe it is to make you a puppet or scapegoat for him to fight for power and profit.
Qing Dynasty general, Nian Qianyao, is a veteran of the Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties, brave and good at fighting, has won many military exploits, and his prestige and power in the court are also increasing.
During the pacification of the Qinghai rebellion, some ministers played Nian Qianyao to monopolize power, and he was stubborn and self-serving, and he needed to send other ** to contain one or two, but Yongzheng did not adopt the advice, but encouraged and believed that Nian Qianyao would definitely be victorious. Soon, Nian Qianyao lived up to expectations, and with the assistance of the soldiers, he gradually turned the situation around, defeated the enemy army, and completely quelled the Qinghai Rebellion.
After pacifying the Qinghai Rebellion, Nian Qianyao needs to return to Beijing to report to the emperor in accordance with the regulations, out of his commendation, Yongzheng made an exception to improve the reception specifications of Nian Qianyao, when entering Beijing, not only the prince and noble relatives have to go out of the city to the suburbs to meet Nian Qianyao, and the court ** also kneeling to greet him.
If Nian Qianyao knew the current affairs, he should refuse to accept such an over-standard reception. But Nian Qianyao not only accepted it calmly, but also had an extremely arrogant attitude, looking at the princes and ministers who came to kneel to pick him up, he sat down and nodded slightly, in response. Even when talking to the emperor, Nian Qianyao sat down without sitting, like an open dustpan, without the slightest cautious appearance as a minister.
The ministers couldn't look past it and started talking about it, but Yongzheng was not angry at all, but rewarded Nian Qianyao with a bunch of gold and silver treasures and power. At this time, Nian Qianyao was in the limelight for a while, and his power had reached its peak.
Yongzheng's "tolerance" and desire for power made Nian Qianyao lose himself, and gradually became unruly, not controlled by the imperial power, and even began to openly encroach on and act on behalf of the emperor, accept bribes in private, and install cronies everywhere to form parties for personal gain.
As the saying goes: when the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it is a loss.
Later, it appeared because of the Forbidden City"The sun and the moon are combined, and the five stars are aligned"The "auspicious" celestial phenomenon, the ministers have congratulated the emperor one after another. Nian Qianyao also wanted to take the opportunity to show his talent, but because of carelessness in writing the wrong birthday watch, the emperor was furious when he saw it, and he had always been proud of his high merit and arrogant style, and the crime was increased by one degree, so he was removed from his post and investigated.
Nian Qianyao's story tells us that the best way to make a person slack is to immerse him in the atmosphere of praise, as long as a person is lax, it is easy to lose judgment and make mistakes.
Sometimes it is not necessarily candy that is soaked in a honey jar for a long time, but it can also be a deadly poison, and if you are not careful, you may put yourself in dire straits.
Therefore, in the workplace, your excellence brings you not only a promotion and a salary increase, but also envy, jealousy and hatred, and learning to pay more attention is also one of the survival skills in the workplace.
The interests of the leader are inseparable from the subordinates, and if your "merit is overwhelming" threatens the power of the leader, and the leader treats you very favorably, you may not be far from "rectifying" you.
The honey of the first is the arsenic, and the "sweet words" of the leader can be recognized by learning to see the tricks and dismantle the moves, so as to go further.
