Fifteen golden rules for managing subordinates well

Thread Content

1. Tasks that fall within one’s own job responsibilities must be completed by that person themselves; one should not bother the supervisor with every issue. The purpose of having such a position in the company is to get work done. 　　2. Don’t try to act cool; don’t say there’s no problem whenever faced with one, yet keep running into issues at work. Not understanding something isn’t a flaw; putting in effort to learn and having a positive attitude are what’s necessary to do a good job. 　　3. Don’t treat your boss like a fool. Work in a down-to-earth manner; don’t act one way in front of others and another behind their backs, and don’t try to get by with slick tactics. Remember that most leaders have sharp eyes. 　　4. Don’t be stingy about giving credit to others. To achieve success for yourself, one must know how to help others succeed first. Major, often decisive, achievements are always the result of proper leadership from management and collective efforts from the execution team. 　　5. Don’t keep making the same mistakes or mistakes that you shouldn’t make. No one is perfect; everyone is likely to make mistakes, but one must learn to draw lessons from them. 　　6. One must be brave enough to take responsibility, have the courage to face problems, and not shirk them. Leaders despise those subordinates who avoid problems when they arise and, in order to protect themselves, shirk all the responsibilities that should be theirs. 　　7. Be good at sharing tasks with others. When seeing a colleague at a loss, one should not remain indifferent and stand by passively; instead, one should offer help voluntarily. This not only helps to build good interpersonal relationships but also earns recognition from supervisors. 　　8. When doing things, don’t always haggle. Who would like someone who constantly bargains with them? Leaders are no exception. 　　9. In the face of additional work tasks, maintain a proper attitude, consider things carefully, and put compliance first. If you have to refuse, there must be solid reasons, and you shouldn’t give your supervisor the impression that you are making excuses to avoid work. 　　10. When there are issues, one should first consider discussing and finding solutions; never bypass one’s superiors to report matters. As a subordinate, one must always understand that reporting directly to higher authorities is the most inappropriate behavior. 11. Don’t keep asking questions; learn how to present problems: when raising issues, be sure to have your own opinions and solutions, and present them together for the leader’s consideration. 　　12. Be mindful of your words and actions. No leader can like those who brag excessively, nor those who talk back about others behind their backs, and certainly not those subordinates with poor conduct. 　　13. When a leader faces difficulties, and it is within one’s capabilities to help, even if it is not part of one’s own duties, one should take the initiative to assist the leader in overcoming those challenges. 　　14. Have innovative ideas and actions. In one’s job, it is essential to keep making progress, performing better than those who came before and better than others, in order to better demonstrate one’s abilities and value. 　　15. Maintain a stable mindset; avoid acting on impulse or letting emotions take over, and also don’t suppress all your problems and frustrations. Learn to adjust yourself at all times and keep a positive and proactive attitude.
