A few years ago, I was chatting with a senior executive of a company, and he complained to me: "After more than half a year of coaching, I have gradually accepted the improvement of thinking, and also accepted the various processes after improvement." However, when I was communicating with my boss, I didn't get support from my boss for many things, and he often poured cold water on me. Sometimes I worked hard for a long time, and finally got the people below through, and he made me lose all my efforts with a word! ”
After listening to his words, I said: "Our project is what your boss requested, and everything I said and did was supported by your boss in the back, do you think the boss will not support you?"
You are looking at the problem from your own point of view, and your boss is looking at the problem from the perspective of the whole. You have to understand that when we are in the right direction for improvement, we may have to take three steps forward and one step back. Why?
Because not all of us are involved in the improvement, and not all of us understand the purpose and method of everything we do as you do.
When they have resistance, if it is hard, it may cause a relatively large **. That might have one result: it overturned the plate. At this time, it is necessary to take a break and take care of the emotions of other opponents. Taking it slow is for a better way forward, not for the boss not to support your approach.
As a manager, we often need to understand the intention of the boss, and we need to believe that as the boss, his purpose must make the business better. As long as our goals are aligned, then the so-called non-support will not exist. Of course, you need to maintain communication with your boss to avoid crashes.
In many cases, due to our lack of height, we do not have a comprehensive understanding of other people's emotions, the way people do things, and the impact of specific events on the company's interests, resulting in our actions may affect the company's short-term interests. However, although it is a short-term benefit, it can be fatal! What to do at this time? It's best to take a step back!
You have to understand that a lot of times it is not something that can be done with the right theory. Business is a place where rules and humanity coexist. A lot of things are wrong in theory, but they are the best solution in specific scenarios. In terms of specific events, the information that the boss can see may not be comprehensive, but it is the most macro. The measures they take are also often the most effective. You have to believe him! ”
