At the beginning of the new year, the old leader who is about to retire has these three instructions

As we all know, the beginning of a new year means a new beginning and a new opportunity. However, I would like to make it clear to you that the retiring former leader, Zhang Ju, still has one month to work for the company, and he has entrusted me with my best wishes during this period.

After our brief greetings and best wishes, he distilled the main points and asked me to provide three lessons that I hope will inspire you. Here's a summary of my valuable advice for your reference:

1. No matter when and where, we should not be too anxious. When working in the office, it's important to understand that tasks that require you to complete in three days are not required to be completed on the same day. From your own point of view, it is your responsibility to complete the tasks assigned by your boss as soon as possible and efficiently; Looking at this from the perspective of a superior can lead to a very different view.

There are two main possible outcomes here: the first is that no matter how good the task is, most bosses tend to attribute success to your strength, which in turn makes it easier for you to take responsibility and assign more work to you in the future.

However, you may feel overworked and spend your leisure time enjoying tea and online entertainment. Second, if the task is full of bugs, your boss may ask you to make changes and improvements several times. With plenty of time left, they may ask you to repeat it five, ten, or even twenty times until they meet their expectations.

What's worse is that if the quality of the results you submit on time is low, it is easy for your superiors to have the misconception that you are perfunctory and have a poor work attitude. Leaving such a bad impression undoubtedly increases the difficulty of improving one's status in the future. Therefore, the usual pace of work should be kept moderate, and the task can be completed within three days, and the third day of delivery is the most reliable and appropriate method.

2. We should avoid refusing the instructions or arrangements of our superiors in public. Although there are times when a task assigned by a leader is challenging or full of insurmountable obstacles, and it is reasonable to refuse, it is important not to openly refuse in front of others.

There is a scene in the TV series "In the Name of the People", Li Dakang held a meeting to discuss the cost of resettlement of employees at the Dafeng Plant, and publicly asked Zhao Donglai, director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, to solve the problem of 10 million yuan, and Sun Liancheng, the regional chief executive who was also quite difficult, also needed to solve about 15 million yuan. Both faced difficulties.

However, the two responded in very different ways, setting two completely opposite possible consequences. Sun Liancheng chose to complain to Li Dakang directly at the meeting about his troubles and resolutely refused to bear the funds, which eventually led to Li Dakang's severe criticism and subsequent pressure to solve this problem.

On the other hand, Zhao Donglai did not hesitate too much, and after the meeting, he privately found Li Dakang to elaborate on the difficulties, and unexpectedly got Li Dakang's understanding and decided not to force him to bear the funds, and to choose his own coping strategy. Therefore, when faced with the tasks ordered by our superiors, we should not openly refuse in front of our superiors and thus lose their face.

After all, it's important to have a good communication relationship with your boss in order to coordinate and resolve issues effectively.

3. We should strive to establish the value of "passing is victory". In the workplace life within the system, we should be diligent, down-to-earth and dedicate ourselves to our daily work, but at the same time, we should also pay attention to adjusting our expectations and avoid having too high expectations for work results.

Although the perfect completion of the work is a worthy goal for every professional, everything has a degree, and the appropriate reduction of expectations can reduce the frustration in professional life and reduce the inner pressure. In particular, whether it is praise from leaders, harmonious relationships between colleagues, or stable career prospects, should not be overly pursued.

Unfortunately, many people in the system are feeling anxious and stressed. They often find that the root cause of their difficulties is not their lack of ability to do their jobs, but that they project too many expectations onto career advancements and other things, resulting in self-defined goals far exceeding their actual abilities.

Therefore, we should be tolerant of ourselves, reduce our own burden, life is short, and we are only willing to go through the ups and downs repeatedly, and we are worthy of our hearts. As Zeng Guofan, a famous minister of the late Qing Dynasty, said: "Don't pursue the so-called rewards too much, just focus on your hard work." ”
