Show "banditry" in front of the leader.
"Gangsterism" refers to a unique expression of personality, a kind of self-confidence, courage and the ability to think independently in the right place and in the right way.
It reflects an attitude of not being completely obedient to authority, but it also contains confidence in one's own responsibilities and abilities.
As a different way to get along with your leaders, this may allow you to win a new understanding and attention from your leaders in the workplace.
So, how to show your "gangsterism" in front of the leader?
Scenario 1: Work Debriefing – Be brave enough to put forward your own opinions
I remember one time, a friend bravely put forward a point of view that was different from the leader's opinion in a department report.
Instead of adopting the traditional attitude of submissiveness, he expounded his views and reasons on the basis of thorough preparation.
His bold behavior made the leader frown suddenly, and the air in the conference room began to become solemn, everyone was silent, and the conference room was so quiet that even the faint sound of breathing could be heard clearly.
Everyone looked at each other and watched the leader's next reaction.
However, the leader's tightly knit brow gradually relaxed, and his eyes began to flicker with thought and approval.
In the end, this act of courage not only did not provoke the imagined conflict, but won the admiring gaze and public appreciation of the leadership.
Retrograde in the waves shows the true character of a hero. Sticking to one's own opinions in the work report is the embodiment of workplace wisdom.
Scenario 2: Team Discussion – Expressing Personal Opinions without Fear of Authority
On another occasion, when the team was discussing, everyone was avoiding a sensitive issue.
It was an important meeting about the direction of the project, and the tension was almost suffocating.
Most people speak cautiously around marginal issues, lest they touch the sensitive core – a bad decision made by a senior leader early in the project, which directly leads to delays in the project schedule and waste of resources.
At this time, a colleague who is usually not good at words slowly stood up, and all eyes instantly focused on him.
His voice was not loud, but it was clear and firm: "I think what we really need to face and discuss is the decision-making in the progress phase of the project. ”
That decision was made based on the information at the time, which was understandable, but now we have new data and circumstances. If we can re-evaluate that decision and adjust our direction, I believe we can move forward with the project more efficiently. ”
The moment he spoke, it was as if time had frozen, and everyone else in the conference room was stunned.
No one believed that he, who usually doesn't talk much, would be so bold in pointing out the truth of the problem.
His outspokenness made the atmosphere even more tense, and many began to worry about whether it would affect his position in the team or even anger some people.
However, this bold and direct approach did not put the colleague in a difficult position, and his courage and honesty earned the respect of everyone, including those at the top.
The courage to face the truth is better than a thousand words of evasion. Expressing an authentic point of view in a team is a prerequisite for innovation.
Scenario 3: Weekday communication - dialogue with leaders on an equal footing
Once, I ran into a pantry outside the office.
Instead of being cautious as usual, I communicated with him as naturally as I did with a friend, sharing some of my views on work and interesting things about my life.
This kind of equal and comfortable communication has made the relationship between me and the leader closer, and also made the leader more aware of my versatility and value.
Sincere and natural communication is better than cookie-cutter flattery. Dialogue with leaders on an equal footing, canEnoughBuild bridges of hearts.
Through these scenes, we can see that showing "gangsterism", that is, self-confidence and independent thinking, in the interaction with the leader, is the secret of career promotion and gaining respect.
But it is worth noting that the "gangsterism" here is not blind rebellion, but a manifestation of self-confidence and courage based on respect, understanding and wisdom.
Each of us is a lone helmsman in our own workplace voyage.
We need to steer our own workplace boats, show our "gangsterism" at the right time, and show our uniqueness.
The workplace is not a one-way street, but a two-way journey.
When we choose a place to work, the world also chooses us.
Show your own "gangsterism", use your courage and wisdom, and become the brightest star in this journey.
