At the beginning of each month, many managers around them will submit a list of outstanding employees in their own departments to the company, and this list usually makes them very headache, because from the content of the evaluation form, it seems that many people can meet the standards of outstanding employees. However, the fact is that many people are still far from meeting the standards of excellent employees.
We have such a group of people around us. They all look excellent, capable and dedicated, but sometimes they always feel that they are not as good as the real ones, and it's hard to say where the difference is.
I recently read a book called "Being a First-class Employee in Three Months", which is the pinnacle of employee training by inspirational best-selling authors Wu Ganlin and Deng Xiaolan. This is a super bestseller about how to be the best employee in the shortest time. After comparing the reality, we find that there is still a big gap between the ordinary people around us and those who really want to be excellent first-class employees. And this gap requires us to constantly practice its good words, so as to constantly improve ourselves, narrow the gap, and even surpass Excellence.
One of the most common mistakes made by newcomers and immature people in the workplace is that they think they are omnipotent and even regard themselves as "geniuses". This unrealistic self-evaluation and expectation is often easily shattered in life and work. Then, how can we break through this psychological barrier to better improve ourselves, integrate into society and get social recognition? Let's listen to the songs of the famous singer Jolin Tsai.
"Everyone wants to be a genius, but there are not so many geniuses. Then try to be a local tyrant! Pay more, pay down to earth, don't interrupt your dreams because of difficulties, and never give up! Some geniuses will give up halfway because of complacency; Some local talents will spare no effort to make themselves different and even become legends. "
Everyone wants to be different and become a legend admired by thousands of people, but they don't want to start with the most basic common sense. In fact, Rome was not built in a day. If you want to be an extraordinary person and achieve extraordinary achievements, you must first make up the common sense class, strive for perfection, study tirelessly, and make yourself an expert in this industry.
In this process, there are three aspects of common sense that need to be accumulated and updated:
1, basic business knowledge
First of all, we should know our job requirements, what we need to do and how to give us this position. If you are not familiar with the most basic business, then there will be problems in your work, let alone development.
Many times, we see many people working, but we don't even understand the most basic question of what we should do. Many times, it is impossible for a leader to explain everything to you clearly, and what to do. More often, you need to figure it out yourself and learn and improve according to the actual needs of your work.
2. Role cognition common sense
The biggest problem for many immature people in the workplace is that although they have been away from school for a long time, their mentality is still a student mentality, and they can't get rid of the previous model when talking and doing things. Similarly, many people have been promoted or changed jobs, but they still deal with all people and things according to their original ideas and understandings, resulting in a mess of management activities.
As a professional, you should know that the purpose of your work is to effectively achieve your work goals. Understanding and entering the workplace role will help you increase the effectiveness of your work execution. At the same time, if you can't clearly understand your role, you won't be sure: what you should do, what is the boundary of responsibility, the relationship with others at work, and what skills you need to cultivate. A clear understanding of his role can help him understand what he is doing now, what he should do, in what range his role should be adjusted, and in what field he will be cultivated and developed, so as to set the direction for his career.
3. Exchange and report common sense
There are many people in the workplace who only know how to work hard, but don't know how to communicate and report. Even if you don't know how to ask, you always do what you want, and the result is often very different.
When I first came out from school to work in this company, I made such a mistake. In the follow-up work, I should ask questions whenever I have any questions. I was packing a needle at that time, and when I finally wrapped it, I found something unusual: there seemed to be needles of other specifications mixed in the wrapped needle.
After discovering this anomaly, I should have reported it to my superiors for instructions, but I took it for granted that it was a bit confusing, and others might not find it or complain, so I didn't report it to my superiors. The final result was miserable, and the needle was sent to the customer, which caused strong complaints and large fines.
My superiors and I are bound to be criticized and punished.
In fact, many young people will make the same mistake now. Many things don't consider the consequences, but just do things by feeling, thinking that this is enough. However, the result of making a good claim is often to bring great trouble and even unnecessary losses.
At the same time, we should also pay attention to two points that need special attention when communicating and reporting:
First of all, pay attention to your tone of voice. Even if you have your own ideas and different opinions, you must never be aggressive, because the purpose of communication is not to quarrel, not to distinguish who is right and who is wrong, but to solve problems and find the best way.
Second, communication and reporting must be timely. Don't wait for things to happen or pass before communicating and reporting. At this time, it is often too late and doesn't make much sense.
Young people need to remember that "humble jobs are not shameful."
Some time ago, a Japanese cleaner burst my circle of friends, and this cleaning aunt became a "national treasure craftsman" in Japan. When interviewing Haruko, the program of NHK TV in Japan commented on her work like this: the cleaner is also a "professional". In Japan, people engaged in technical work are collectively referred to as "professionals", such as chefs, beauticians and craftsmen. They may not have a high social status, but all walks of life are "pyramid" systems, with fame, pride and social respect at the top. Outstanding figures may also be designated as "national treasures" by the Japanese government, and the emperor may also award honors. The aunt said: "I just regard this place as my home, so I will treat my guests well and try my best to make people here feel the natural daily environment."
Many people sneered at the cleaning work, but she did it to the extreme and got the respect she deserved. We can do the same. As long as I know my goals clearly, I can undertake even humble work now. As people working in Wenzhou, we often say that Nan Cunhui, the chairman of Zheng Tai Group, shined shoes on the roadside before his development. Your situation is much better than his.
Therefore, there is no such thing as a "humble" job. If you look down on your work and complain all day, as if everyone owes you, that attitude is really humiliating, and you will never make any progress. Conversely, if you can respect any job and do every little thing around you well, even waiters can become the "king" in the workplace.
Always remember: not everyone can have a high starting point when they start working. Success needs a process of accumulation and tempering. Doing the little things around you well is the basis for taking on great responsibilities. To lose the false "humble view" is to lose the useless "face view" in order to create real glory in real life.
The workplace is a tempering place, and only when it can withstand "torture" can it become a pillar. And some people, spoiled at home, don't have much requirements for school teachers, and they can't stand it when they get to the workplace. They feel that there are rules and restrictions everywhere. If they feel a little unhappy, they think it's torture, so they give in and make a hullabaloo about resigning.
This kind of person, like a strawberry, looks beautiful, but it is sour and won't last long at room temperature. They all have such a common problem: they don't want to grow up and always want to be coaxed by others; Unwilling to take responsibility, I always hope others will be tolerant; Unwilling to accept criticism and denial from others.
There is no denying that everyone is eager to be affirmed, hoping to show their value in the affirmation of others and see their growth in the affirmation of others. Affirmation is very important for everyone's growth, because only in affirmation can we find our place and strengthen our confidence. However, growth alone is not enough. On the basis of growth, maturity is an important symbol, that is, being able to know yourself and the outside world rationally, being independent and even leading the way. And maturity often comes from "torture".
In fact, only by constantly groping in torture and frustration can we get real growth. At work, everyone works to achieve the goals set by the organization, and it is impossible for everyone to accommodate you. And your superior, he is under more pressure than you. How does he accommodate you when you make a mistake? When others deny us, when others make seemingly unreasonable demands on us, when we do things we don't want to do ... if we can tolerate these and even cherish this "torture", it means the beginning of maturity.
"Knowledge can change your destiny" is true, but knowledge alone cannot turn it into your ability to do things. Then, no amount of knowledge can change your destiny. In the end, you can only sigh.
Therefore, people in the workplace, you should learn how to turn knowledge into the ability to do things as soon as possible in practice, so as to become more and more weighty and developed people.
Complaining is definitely one of the most important factors if we want to say what behavior hurts job performance the most and hinders personal development.
Complaining can be said to be harmful, and the result of complaining is to destroy the mood, affect team harmony and hinder personal development. Therefore, excellent people never complain about the outside world, they only think about how to solve problems and make their work perfect.
There are many colleagues around, either complaining in the group or complaining in the circle of friends. They always complain about how bad the company is, how difficult his work is, and how bad his colleagues are, but they don't want to think about it. Since everything around him is so bad, he still stays, which shows that he is not much better.
Of course, the company's situation is not as bad as they describe, but the existence of such a group of people in the company shows that there are still many problems to be solved and many management projects to be improved. In fact, as people in the workplace, we should pay more attention to these, and then rely on the strength of the team to help the company solve these problems and help the company improve and upgrade. In these exercises, you not only helped the company, but also helped yourself. You tempered your will, you improved your ability, and you increased your value, all of which finally paid off.
The loved one is back, and the blessed one is back. Your efforts cannot be buried forever.
I like to talk about us, our company, our department, our workshop and our team. In modern society, it is difficult to succeed alone, and your success must depend on the success of the team.
During this time, the "Baowan dispute" was raging. What we see on the surface is the struggle with boss Yao, but in fact, the struggle of the team behind them is really worthy of our attention and study. Between the two teams, you come and go, swords and shadows, intrigue, it is really worth writing. We can imagine, if there are only two of them, can they trip over each other?
Similarly, if you want to gain a firm foothold and develop well in the workplace, you must learn to integrate into the team from the first day of work, that is, complete the transformation from "individual" to "team". In other words, we can no longer take "I" as the center, do whatever we want, but always remind ourselves that we are just a member of the team, and we should think more about "us" in everything. First of all, people who think with "we" will inevitably integrate into the team at the fastest speed; People who think with "I" first are often rejected and abandoned by other members of the team.
So how can we quickly integrate into the team and enhance our value?
1. Go your own way and listen to what others say.
We all know such a famous saying: "Go your own way and let others talk!" This sentence is very heroic, but it should be understood from two aspects: if you are right, then of course it is right to do so. But for many people, because they don't know much and have limited knowledge and experience, it is better to "go your own way and listen to others."
In the workplace, personal opinions and opinions are not so important, but the most important thing is to be consistent with the team and the whole. The more people value themselves, the more they can't accept other people's things and the more tired they are in the workplace. If you can open your heart, listen to what others say, and improve without any bad feelings in your heart, then it will be easy and you can fly higher.
2, we should have our own rhythm and cooperate with the team.
Everyone has their own ideas, styles and rhythms. However, in the workplace, it is not enough to have your own "beat", but also to "get in tune" with the team. It's like a chorus. Only when everyone has the same beat will there be a beautiful and harmonious chorus. If everyone sings their own music, the result can be imagined.
It is easy for people who are not professional enough to emphasize their own "beat": "The team concept belongs to the concept, and I have my own ideas and principles." "I do it at home, so why should I change it when I get to the company?" "The company's standards are too high, and I don't want to stay forever. Why should I follow those requirements? " ……
But only emphasize the ending of your own "beat", which is incompatible with the team. How can I stay and develop in the workplace?
How can we get along with the team? This requires us to be in tune with the interests of the team, with the core concepts of the team, and with the requirements and standards of the team.
3, can make contributions, but also make contributions.
Many people have just entered the workplace or new companies, and they are eager to make some achievements and prove their abilities. This is a good "meritorious mentality", which is very worthy of recognition. After all, in any unit, people who can make contributions can not only create value for the unit better, but also make themselves get greater development and return. But one thing needs special reminder, that is, don't think Lao Tzu is the best in the world. Even if you have made achievements, don't be complacent and be modest. Because, no matter how excellent an individual is, he is also in a team. Without the team, it is useless to be excellent. If you overemphasize yourself, you may create obstacles and obstacles to your development.
We have met many professional managers. When they first arrived at the company, they wanted to exert their fists and feet. As soon as they made some achievements, they were complacent, arrogant and extremely arrogant. When there is no one behind them to support his work, they can only "end up depressed" and "pack up and leave" Managers who make these mistakes are not incompetent, but because they put individuals above the team and think that the credit belongs to him alone, and the team can't do anything without him. This mentality will eventually harm people.
Professional managers who have been wandering in rivers and lakes for many years will still make such mistakes, not to mention other novices with little professional experience.
We should always remember: meritorious service is ability, and meritorious service is tolerance. Excellent people understand this truth, and will not take all the credit to themselves, but know how to share it with everyone. Even if you make the greatest contribution to something, when you are praised, you might as well express such an attitude in public: "I didn't achieve this achievement alone, thanks to the help of several colleagues, and also thanks to the usual guidance of the leaders ... I hope I can praise those colleagues who helped ..."
4, win the impression of "worth cultivating"
Any unit that wants to train a person will first make a comprehensive evaluation: Is this person worth training? Will it take a long time to train people, but it will cause losses to the unit? Therefore, it is very important to win an impression worthy of training in the workplace.
When we look at whether a person's value is worth cultivating, we should not only look at whether he has done great things, but also observe and pay attention to the nuances, and even deliberately investigate. Every word and deed of the potential training object will affect the subsequent evaluation of his training.
What can I do to win an impression worth cultivating?
Do the little things around you, and the opportunity will naturally approach. Many times, the unit arranges you to do some small things, such as cleaning the toilet. The purpose is not to exercise one's ability, but to observe one's work mentality from the process of doing things, and to know whether one has the potential for training and whether one can really take on heavy responsibilities.
Smart gold will know how to shine actively. Don't always passively wait for leaders and colleagues to discover themselves, have the ability and expertise, and don't be ashamed to show them. The sooner others see your potential, the sooner you can shine.
Get affirmation and trust in the test. The degree to which a person can stand the test is often directly proportional to the degree to which he bears the heavy responsibility. If he can't stand a little test, he will shrink back, so who dares to give him the heavy responsibility?
Make yourself more "eye-catching" in reflection and summary. For employees, by reflecting and summarizing more, they can find their own shortcomings, find their own direction of growth, find reasons from themselves when they encounter problems, and work hard from the places that need improvement most.
As we all know, whether a person can develop and succeed is very important. But these two points are not enough. As a professional, besides IQ and EQ, we should pay more attention to "professional quotient".
"Professional quotient" is a new concept put forward by the author of this book, which refers to professional quotient, including professional accomplishment and professional wisdom. In order to illustrate the importance of "work quotient", the author of this book also published a book-"Looking at work quotient through life achievements".
Some people are capable, but they are not successful in the workplace. The reason is the lack of "professional business". Because the value of a person's life is often achieved through occupation, the "work quotient" largely determines the level of a person's achievement. The higher the "professional quotient", the easier it is to succeed.
The author believes that "professional quotient" determines a person's competitiveness in the workplace, while responsibility determines a person's first-class professionalism. Whether it is ability or method, only under the premise of having a first-class sense of responsibility can we get the greatest improvement. Responsibility is the soul of professionalism at any time. With a sense of responsibility, you won't make any excuses. As long as it is related to work, we should try our best to do it and even make the impossible possible.
"Frequent job hopping" is a common problem for many people in the workplace. As long as they feel a little unhappy, they will choose to quit. Although job-hopping is normal in the workplace, it will get worse and worse if you change jobs blindly frequently. The result of frequent job-hopping is that you just adapt to the new environment there and have learned nothing, at most, a little fur. As a result, time was wasted, but my ability didn't improve at all. Instead of this, it is better to "leap high" in your current position: sink down and learn everything you need to learn. With the continuous improvement of their own capabilities, greater development is also in sight.
In the process of continuous study and work, we need to know where we are in the workplace.
Generally speaking, there are four levels of people in the workplace, namely, people, talents, manpower and manpower. In fact, there is also a kind of scum. In order to purify the professional environment, it is not counted in the workplace.
The so-called manpower is enough as long as you are willing to work hard; And manpower, you need to be familiar with the work and be able to deal with emergencies; Talents need you to have a flexible mind and be able to put forward creative solutions in your work; The role needs to be versatile and make great contributions to the company in its own unique way.
The last paragraph is for all professionals. I hope everyone can find their own position and keep learning and growing, from manpower to manpower, from talents to people!
"Young man, what floor do you work on? Every company is a building. If you just keep shuttling between buildings instead of trying to improve your skills, you will always be at the bottom. "
No matter how good the theory is, it is not translated into practical action, and it is all bad;
No matter how many methods are not translated into practical actions, they are not good;
Dreams are beautiful, but they have not been translated into practical actions. They are all bad people. ...
To be a first-class employee, to be one of the best figures and legends in the workplace, we need to constantly practice our own theories and methods, and we need to move forward bravely towards our dreams.
Only practice and persistence can achieve success.
