Are you a potential stock in the eyes of your boss?

Thread Content

Rather than sparing no room to build oneself into a "popular stock", it is better to steadily build oneself into a "potential stock" to win broader space for one's future development. 　　Accidentally, from "general" to "slave" Zhang Xi and Song Nan walked into Z Company's planning department at the same time. 　　I think back then, just after the probation period, Zhang Xi's performance had already impressed his boss. The plans he planned were not only creative but also thorough. Of course, Zhang Xi also put in a lot of effort to come up with such a plan. He not only read many excellent essays, but also went to his experienced cousin's house to ask for advice. My cousin is the planning director of a well-known company. After some guidance from him, Zhang Xi’s planning plan can be described as almost perfect. Because of this plan, Zhang Xi became a "dark horse" in the eyes of the boss. In addition, Zhang Xi was bumped into by the boss several times while working overtime. Once, the boss patted Zhang Xi on the shoulder and praised him.: “Work hard, the company is waiting for you to take the lead! ”Everyone knows that this is a very important comment. 　　Compared to Zhang Xi, Song Nan's performance was average. Although Song Nan worked very hard, every plan he made had to be rejected and revised four or five times. The boss’s evaluation of Song Nan is: “Very hardworking and practical, but needs to grow. ”Therefore, while Zhang Xi became a celebrity in the eyes of the boss and continued to win more opportunities, Song Nan was still slowly groping forward. 　　Because of this, the planning of a new product soon fell naturally on Zhang Xi’s shoulders. However, Zhang Xi put a lot of thought into submitting the planning plan, but after several revisions, it still failed to satisfy the boss. The boss became impatient, and finally had to transfer Song Nan to cooperate with the work. Unexpectedly, looking at Song Nan's plan, the boss nodded frequently. Although the boss also pointed out some of Song Nan's mistakes similar to Zhang Xi's, the boss's attitude towards Song Nan was much better than that towards Zhang Xi. Zhang Xi felt aggrieved, blaming his boss for not placing such an important task on him from the beginning. 　　In the end, Zhang Xi and Song Nan cooperated to complete the plan, but at the work meeting, only Song Nan was named and praised. The boss said that Song Nan has made rapid progress and is now able to stand alone. Zhang Xi felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. In fact, in order to complete this mission, his contribution was greater than that of Song Nan, or at least it should be a tie. But why did the boss only praise Song Nan and ignore himself? 　　And since then, Zhang Xi found that her boss's attitude towards her was not as good as before. A project team was established not long ago, and Song Nan was appointed as the leader of the project team, but he didn't get anything out of it. 　　Faced with the huge changes, Zhang Xi felt more and more uncomfortable. He really couldn't understand that when Song Nan made mistakes, he got praise and rewards, but when he made mistakes, he got criticism and indifference. For a time, Zhang Xi even wanted to resign. 　　Don’t be hurt by your own excellence. Almost everyone in the workplace knows that showing your excellence in front of leaders is an important way to stabilize your position and gain attention. As everyone knows, improper performance of excellence can sometimes bring a lot of trouble to oneself. 　　Often, a person's initial performance in the workplace determines their leader's expectations of them. The leader's initial impression and evaluation is like the "zero degree" on the scale. In future work, the leader will use this subjective scale to measure employees, and hopes that employees can continue to surpass "zero degree" through hard work to meet the needs of the enterprise. 　　Those employees who perform well initially will undoubtedly win the appreciation and trust of their leaders. At the same time, the subjective zero of the "ruler" will be set higher than that of employees who perform mediocrely. Leaders hope that they will perform better and make more contributions in the future. 　　In the above case, the reason why the leader was able to entrust Zhang Xi with important tasks had a lot to do with his excellent initial performance. 　　There is no doubt that an employee who is valued by the leader will win more opportunities, but the premise is that the employee's performance must meet the leader's expectations, that is, reach or exceed the "subjective zero" in the leader's mind. Otherwise, it is very likely that your impression in the leader's mind will be greatly reduced. This is because, in people's hearts, we all hope that the psychological satisfaction brought to us by others will increase, not decrease. 　　With the help of external support, Zhang Xi won the appreciation of the leader for his brilliant plan. However, because this was not his normal performance, the leader's feelings towards him were "decreasing". Song Nan's initial performance was not as good as Zhang Xi's, and his boss's expectations of him were also lower than Zhang Xi's. This just left him enough room for his own progress. When he made progress through hard work, his boss's feelings towards him showed an "incremental" state. “The contrast between "decreasing" and "increasing" gave the boss a strong contrast in his evaluation of the two.: Zhang Xi was considered to be incompetent and therefore received a cold reception. ； Song Nan was considered to have potential and was therefore taken seriously. Although the work performance is similar, the end result is very different. 　　From this point of view, instead of leaving no room for itself to build itself into a "popular stock", it is better to steadily build itself into a "potential stock" to win broader space for its future development. 　　 * * “The only way for potential stocks to learn how to behave appropriately: For people in the workplace, it is often more important to show their inner qualities such as "good at cooperation", "not afraid of hardship", "positive" and "serious and responsible" than deliberately showing their outstanding abilities. Enterprises often value employees' "tomorrow" rather than "today" when employing people. Deliberately showing your talents will only make your leaders have high expectations for you, which is tantamount to creating problems for yourself. However, showing your inner qualities can easily make your leaders recognize you as a person, thereby laying the foundation for your future work. 　　Actively dive: If you haven't received the attention of your leader for a period of time, don't be too impatient, but learn to be proactive. That is to say, calm down and become familiar with the company's situation and improve your business level. At the same time, actively build good relationships with colleagues around you. A person who is recognized by his colleagues around him is often more likely to be valued by his leadership. In short, active diving is a process of silently making progress and gaining momentum. 　　Don't ignore details: Don't slack off just because your leader hasn't talked to you, and don't slack off just because you haven't been entrusted with important tasks. In fact, the eyes that examine you can be seen everywhere. Only by paying attention to details can others understand you from point to point. For example, whether you smile when you answer the phone, whether you are meticulous and careful when binding materials... these small details all show your quality to others. It may become a springboard for your opportunities, or it may make it difficult for you to turn over. 　　Showing quality in making mistakes: Don't be too afraid of making mistakes. It is inevitable to make some mistakes at work. The key is your attitude after making a mistake. Acknowledge your mistakes promptly, actively ask for advice, and avoid similar mistakes from happening again. This is a good opportunity for you to show your "plasticity". A shirkful attitude and falling down in one place over and over again will cause people to have a discounted impression of you, and you will also be labeled as having "no potential". 　　Show loyalty with actions: No leader is willing to promote or re-appoint employees who lack loyalty to the company. If your abilities don't make you stand out, show your loyalty and love for the company. This is also an important condition for winning the trust of your boss. 　　First of all, you need to have an in-depth understanding of corporate culture and reflect it in your work. Secondly, we must be dedicated and conscientious, and be passionate about even hard work. ； Finally, we must be proud of the company. These behaviors will win your boss's attention and put you on the promotion list. 　　Fun test: Are you a potential stock in the eyes of your boss? 　　1.
