In the unit, the bigger the leader, the less restrained you are, the more you should express it, and the more humble it is, the more you can't.
I am an ordinary civil servant in a department-level department, my name is Yang Hao. Last week, our department temporarily received the supervision of a project, the leader of the inspection team is the vice governor of our province, it is said that the results of this inspection will directly affect the follow-up appropriation of the project and the assessment and evaluation of the first grade. Therefore, the whole department is under pressure and trembling.
As a newcomer to the reception, I also walked sideways, for fear that an oversight would affect the performance of the department and leaders. Especially in the face of the vice governor sitting in charge of the meeting, I was even more nervous. At the meeting, I only dared to carefully make notes and organize materials, and did not say a word.
After the meeting, Director Wang of my department called me to the office alone and said to me solemnly: "Yang Hao, you understand the importance of the department's reception and inspection this time, but your performance today is too restrained, and there is no arrogance at all. I'm worried that this state of affairs will make it difficult for me to do more important work. ”
I was a little frightened, and hurriedly argued: "Director Wang, I thought that in the face of the big leader, we had to be extra cautious. If I say too much or say the wrong thing, Director Wang and the department will not be able to save face. ”
Director Wang shook his head: "Your mentality is really irresponsible to the department." In front of important work, we can't be timid because of the identity of the person, we have to say what we should say, and we have to ask what we should ask, which is the real responsibility for the work. ”
I obviously felt that Director Wang's words were warning me, so I respectfully asked: "Then Director Wang, do you mean that I should be confident and arrogant in the face of senior leaders, instead of being too cautious?" ”
Director Wang smiled: "Yes, I will tell you a lesson from the past, which can be regarded as advice for you."
Director Wang told me the story of Xiao Zhang, a senior in a department, who handled a similar situation.
That time, the secretary of the municipal party committee came to inspect our department, and it stands to reason that it was a mistake to make a mistake. However, Xiao Zhang did not feel intimidated by the status of the secretary of the municipal party committee, but took the initiative to report the practical difficulties of handling the project, and put forward suggestions to ask for policy support.
At first, the secretaries frowned, for fear of offending the secretary. However, the secretary of the municipal party committee not only did not blame, but greatly appreciated Xiao Zhang's initiative and pragmatic style. In the end, our department also won an important special fund.
So you get the idea, Yang Hao. Director Wang said, "In the face of leaders, we can't be tied up because of high rank, the key is to talk about things from the perspective of work." Only truly responsible speeches and expressions will let the leaders see your responsibility. ”
It dawned on me that leaders at all levels in the unit should not be distinguished by the dignity or inferiority of others. The key is to take the actual effect of the work as the starting point, to say what should be said, to express what should be expressed, this is the real responsible attitude.
I have benefited greatly from Mr. Wang's advice. Since then, I have never felt resigned to the rank of the other person. Every time I report on the work, I will conduct an in-depth analysis of the actual situation and take the initiative to propose problems and solutions. Because of this, my superiors gradually recognized my work style and ability.
Now I have figured out that the most important way to get along with leaders in the unit is to think about problems from the height of work and career.
As long as all the speeches and behaviors are practical and can move the work forward, even if they are more direct and more direct, the leaders can recognize them. On the contrary, being afraid of the rank and status is a sign of truly sorry for the leader.
So I would like to thank Mr. Wang for his advice. It made me re-examine the attitude and posture that I should have towards leadership. I believe that with my current new understanding, I will be able to be more calm and decent in my future work.
