In the workplace, we often see two different types of employees: those who like to work with their leaders, and they think that as long as they are honest with their leaders, they can be trusted and reused by their leaders. But in fact, these people often become cannon fodder in the eyes of the leaders, and they are endlessly squeezed, found faults, set aside and excluded by the leaders, and the end is bleak. The other is those who are close to the leader and play routines, they are good at figuring out the leader's mind and catering to the leader's preferences, so as to become the leader's henchmen. These people are often able to gain access to more opportunities and resources to thrive in the workplace.
In fact, there is a reason for how these two types of people behave and end up in the workplace. Those who like to dig their hearts and lungs with leaders are often because they are overconfident and self-righteous, believing that their abilities and performance are enough for leaders to trust and reuse. However, in the workplace, interpersonal relationships are very complex, and even more so between leaders and employees. If you only treat others according to your own likes and dislikes, it will not only be difficult to get the approval of the leaders, but you may also put yourself in a situation where you are enemies on your back and are not human inside and outside. In contrast, those who are close to their leaders and play routines are more aware of the rules and routines in the workplace. They know how to build a good relationship with their leaders and how to demonstrate their abilities and values, so as to get more opportunities and support. These individuals usually have high emotional intelligence and social skills, and are able to accurately understand the thoughts and intentions of their leaders, so that they can behave and act accordingly. 
Of course, to succeed in the workplace, it's not enough to rely on your relationship with your leader. Employees who can really do great things will know how to build relationships with middle and senior leaders, and pay attention to showing their work attitude and ability. Only in this way can you get more opportunities and support in the workplace and achieve your career development goals. In addition, there are some employees who are too straightforward and honest when dealing with their leaders, and do not know how to grasp the right balance. For example, when the leader does not give them any real benefits, they may verbally resentment or complain about the leader. Not only does this not solve the problem, but it can also make the leader resentful or distrustful of them. Therefore, when getting along with leaders, we need to learn how to grasp the proportions and scales, and express our thoughts and demands in an appropriate way. 
In conclusion, getting along with leaders in the workplace is an art. To succeed in the workplace, we need to not only have the ability and professionalism to work, but also focus on building good relationships with our leaders. Only through positive communication, effective performance and appropriate handling can we gain more opportunities and support in the workplace and achieve our career development goals.
