In an organization, there are many ...... of good leaders who have the ability to have character and virtueOr is it the kind of bad leader who likes to deceive his superiors and subordinates, and is insidious and cunning?
What's the answer in your mind?
I don't deny that there are some very good leaders in some organizations, who are capable, courageous, and responsible, but do you dare to pat your chest and make sure that all leaders are good leaders?Will some leaders, after making mistakes, not to take responsibility, but to find an excuse to shirk responsibility and blame a scapegoat for the mistake?
Facts tell us that there are many leaders who love to shirk their responsibilities and let others carry the blame, and many friends have unwittingly become scapegoats for leaders at work.
Because in many cases, some leaders are more concerned with maintaining their positions of power than with solving problems. They tend to use various means to shift responsibility to avoid being adversely affected, so this leads to some leaders always finding excuses to shirk responsibility!
If you don't want to be foolishly scapegoated by the leader, then you must know the three most common methods used by the leader:
1. Find subordinates to take responsibility.
Many times, in many cases of responsibility in the organization, some leaders will choose to let the small people within the organization take responsibility.
When there is a mistake in the work, if the leader takes responsibility, it may cause him to lose power or interests, so many leaders are reluctant to come forward. In this case, the leader will find a scapegoat to take responsibility and shift the blame to the other party. More often than not, those who are less powerful, less popular, unpopular in the organization, and have no background will be preferred.
Just as we often see temporary workers or Xi students often come out to take responsibility, in the end they are just carrying the black pot for the leader, and they are not decided to do it, but they have to push them out and take responsibility, which is the favorite trick used by some organizations.
2. Push outward.
Sometimes, when things get bigger, everyone knows that the leader is the party, and at this time, the leader can no longer find internal subordinates as scapegoats, and the leader will choose to shift the responsibility to external adversaries.
They may find all sorts of excuses and excuses to blame the outside forces for the wrong, and portray themselves as a pitiful victim, hoping to win the sympathy and forgiveness of all who can be gained, and belittle the antagonists who blame them.
Trying to shift the blame to someone else or organization to reduce the stress and responsibility on your own. In this way, you can divert attention from the problem at hand, so that you can avoid facing mistakes and taking responsibility.
In this way, the leader can also shirk his own problems and continue to maintain his tall and glorious image!
For example, if a leadership scandal is reported within a company, the company will often choose to shift the blame to competitors, claiming that it is a vicious struggle between business groups.
And they portray themselves as victims, trying to reduce their responsibilities and losses by rewriting the facts to divert public attention and scapegoating their competitors.
3. Use luck as an excuse.
In some of the leaders' decisions, when there is a mistake that can neither find internal employees to take responsibility, nor discredit competitors, they will blame destiny, luck, and small probability events.
Why doesn't God help me?It's so unlucky, too unlucky?This is an excuse that many people often use to shirk their responsibilities, and leaders naturally use it often.
For example, we often hear leaders mention unexpected situations caused by market changes, policy changes, collaborator changes, climate change, etc.
This rhetoric is meant to explain mistakes in leadership decision-making, blaming the blame for small probability events that cannot be controlled. The purpose of this is also to alleviate one's own responsibilities and mistakes.
In general, shirking responsibility, shirking the blame, and finding scapegoats are the shady methods commonly used by some leaders, and once leaders take responsibility and admit their mistakes, they may lose their authority and affect their reputation and prestige.
If others begin to doubt the correctness of the leader's decisions, the leader's authority will be threatened, and he will not be able to give orders effectively and get others to obey them, which will lead to the loss of power.
Because "the king is not wrong", the fault can only be others, just like Cao Cao said in the Three Kingdoms: you can know and correct mistakes, but you can't admit mistakes.
Therefore, in order to maintain power, leaders will try their best to shift the responsibility to others, so as to avoid their authority being questioned and denied, otherwise it will be difficult for him to convince the public and maintain his leadership position.
In short, you must understand that shirking responsibility is a common phenomenon in power politics, in order to protect themselves, leaders often choose to "abandon the car to protect the handsome, cut off the arm to survive", sacrificing you or others, to protect their own status, this is thousands of years of history to tell us a profound lesson.
But you also don't angrily scold society for being dark and the leadership is despicable, because it doesn't work, you have to choose to adapt to it.
Therefore, no matter what organization you work in, you must understand the psychology and means of leadership, otherwise you may become cannon fodder for leaders if you are not careful, and you don't understand how you hung up!(WeChat*** Workplace Godfather).
