In the workplace, everyone is eager to be promoted, but many people struggle to express this desire to their leaders. Recently, a reader friend asked me about this question: "I told the leader that I want to be promoted, and now I am very annoyed, afraid that the leader will think I am too utilitarian, what should I do?" "Actually, you don't have to worry so much.
Today, I will talk to you about how to elegantly express your desire for promotion to the leader.
First of all, we need to understand that leaders are human beings, and they can understand employees' desire for career development. In today's era of heavy work tasks, an employee who is willing to take the initiative to take more responsibility and pursue progress is actually undesirable for leaders. Therefore, it is not difficult to express the desire for promotion to the leader.
So, how to express it? Here are a few suggestions:
1. Find the right time and take the opportunity to express yourself. When you report on your progress or discuss your project plan, you can mention your career development plan and express your desire to take on more responsibilities and challenges in the future.
For example: "Leader, I think this project is very rewarding and I have learned a lot in it. In the future, if I have the opportunity, I hope to take on a more important role and contribute more to the company. ”
2. Be straightforward and honest. If you have a good relationship with your leader and communicate well, it doesn't hurt to express your wishes directly. For example: "Leader, I have always admired your work ability and leadership style. Under your leadership, I have also grown a lot. Now, I have a small wish to go further in my career and get more training and improvement. I hope you will be able to give me support and guidance. ”
3. Implication. If you feel that the direct expression is too abrupt, then you can convey your message by suggesting it. For example, talk about promotion-related topics during small talk, or share some of your understanding and aspirations for a higher position. In this way, the leader will naturally understand your mind.
It is not difficult to express the desire for promotion to the leader. The key is to find the right time and use the right method to make the leader feel your sincerity and desire. At the same time, keep a normal heart, and don't be discouraged or complain even if the leader can't meet your wishes for the time being. Believe that as long as you work hard and are good enough, opportunities will always be reserved for those who are prepared.
