In the complex workplace ecology, we may all have faced such a puzzle: the leader does not come to me directly when he has something, but chooses to convey it through his colleagues.
What is the meaning behind such an act? Understanding the mysteries may be crucial to navigating our career path.
Xiao Zhang is a hard-working young employee who works hard in the company and strives to improve himself.
However, he recently found that the leader began not to come to him directly when he had a task, but to convey it through Xiao Li.
This made him wonder if there was something wrong with his work, or if the leader was dissatisfied with him.
Xiao Zhang recalled a small incident that happened recently.
At last week's project meeting, he was poorly prepared and had a stumbling answer to some key questions.
At that time, he noticed that the leader's brows were slightly furrowed, although the leader did not point it out on the spot, but the expression at that moment, now that he thinks about it, seems to be a precursor to the leader's change of attitude towards him.
This made Xiao Zhang realize that workplace communication is much more than just completing tasks, it is also a subtle reflection of the relationship between leaders and employees.
1. The leader may do this because he has an opinion about you
In the workplace, the way you communicate is often a reflection of your relationship with your leader.
If you suddenly find that your leader is starting to avoid communicating with you directly, it may be that they want to give you a little signal that certain behaviors or attitudes at work need to be adjusted and reflected.
2. This may indicate that your colleagues are more trusted by their leaders
In this case, you should not only reflect on your relationship with your boss, but also consider your communication and work attitude with your colleagues.
When a colleague is given the task of passing on the word, it may be that the leader is developing and testing his leadership and communication skills.
3. This may be the leader's desire to frustrate your spirit
Sometimes, the leader's behavior is not out of dissatisfaction with you, but I hope you can understand that during this time, you have relied on the support of the leader, and you are a little "floating" in front of your colleagues, and your attitude towards your colleagues seems arrogant and rude.
In this way, leaders are telling you that humility and keeping a low profile in your day-to-day work are indispensable virtues in the workplace.
Once you understand the possible reasons for your leadership to do this, the next key is how to deal with the situation head-on. Complaining and avoiding will not solve any problems, only by facing the problems can it be possible to find a solution.
