It cost a total of 98 to help the leader buy fruit, and the leader transferred 100 to you, and the answer with high emotional intelligence made the leader look at you differently.
This was a small episode of my work in the workplace, and it also made me deeply appreciate the importance of high emotional intelligence.
That afternoon, the leader, Director Lin, came to my office and asked me to go to the fruit store to buy some fruit for him. He has been entertaining some guests recently, and there is no extra fruit left at home. I agreed without saying a word, Director Lin is the leader I admire the most, and he is usually very kind to me, of course I want to help with this little favor.
When I arrived at the fruit shop, I chose several fruits that he usually likes to eat according to Director Lin's taste: two apples, three oranges, and two red dragon fruits. At the time of checkout, the boss said that it was 98 yuan in total. I pulled out my wallet and found only a $100 bill. After getting the change of 2 yuan, I took the fruit to the unit and knocked on the door of Director Lin.
Director, the fruit was bought, a total of 98 yuan. "I handed the fruit bag to Director Lin.
Director Lin took the fruit, smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, you can accept the 100 yuan, which is the errand fee." "He transferred 100 yuan to my Alipay account.
I glanced at the transfer record on my phone and was immediately a little embarrassed. The 100 yuan given by Director Lin is more than the money I paid for fruit. I felt embarrassed, the director meant yes, but I always felt that it was not appropriate.
At this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I had an idea, and said jokingly: "Director, the purpose of I helped you buy fruit is to exercise, and you asked me to collect this money, but I feel uncomfortable." However, this 100 yuan is just enough to invite the cleaning aunt of our unit to have a good meal, she has worked hard! ”
After hearing this, Director Lin was stunned for a moment, then laughed and exclaimed: "Good! I just like sensible young people like you. It only cost 98 yuan to buy fruit, and I gave an extra 2 yuan, you didn't accept it directly, but thought of the cleaning aunt, which shows that you are broad-minded and will care about grassroots employees. If there are any good activities in the unit in the future, I will give priority to you! ”
I thanked Director Lin and left the office happily. Through this little thing, the leaders were impressed by me and their impression of me was greatly improved. I've also learned the importance of emotional intelligence, not to think in a straight line, but to be flexible and think from different perspectives, which can benefit you a lot in complex relationships.
A month later, at the annual meeting of the unit, Director Lin suddenly announced that I had been rated as an advanced worker and took the stage to receive the award. I am very excited and deeply grateful to Mr. Lin for his kindness. That time I helped him buy fruits, and the emotional intelligence and mind I showed made the leaders impressed and remembered me.
I keep this little episode in my heart and always remind myself to continue to study and strive to be a person with high emotional intelligence. Because emotional intelligence not only determines growth, but also directly affects our perception and harvest when we get along with others.
We can summarize a few tips for survival in the workplace from this little story:
First, be on call and be extra attentive to the leader. The small things of the leader are the big things, and we must take the initiative to help, and try to help those who can.
Second, be resourceful and flexible. When encountering embarrassing scenes, don't be rigid, but be flexible and think about problems from different angles.
Third, we must know how to put ourselves in the shoes of others. We can put ourselves in the shoes of the cleaning aunt, which shows noble sentiments.
Fourth, we must learn to be grateful for the pictorial. Be grateful for the kindness of our leaders and repay those who support us with our actions.
Fifth, we must continue to learn and improve our emotional intelligence and thinking level. This is the key to navigating complex environments.
There are countless such episodes in life, and we must be good at understanding the truth, coping with them more calmly, and making a leap in our careers.
