What to do when the leader isn’t competent
Thread Content
I applied for the position of team leader, and I felt that I was qualified to take on the role. Yet the manager refused to give me the chance; instead, they hired a new team leader. Since the new leader arrived, I can say that in terms of task assignment as well as the speed and quality with which tasks are completed, I’ve performed better than the new leader. Moreover, since I’m familiar with the workplace, I’m able to resolve the questions raised by the frontline staff quickly and accurately. So why won’t they give me a chance? Later, he brought in his two nephews, so it was even more necessary to raise their status. Now the manager has changed, but there are already no more opportunities available. I’m wondering how one can move up from the front line in a foreign company; besides competence, what else is needed? It’s really quite difficult to rise from a frontline worker to a squad leader. I hope friends who have had similar experiences and achieved success can help analyze it
Dude, what’s most important right now is the relationship
Here’s a couplet for you: If they say you can do it, then you can; if they say you can’t, then you can’t – either way works
Think about what you would do if you were in that leadership role, and that will help you understand your position better. Working essentially means working for your supervisors; if they recognize you, then you have succeeded.
In addition to having the ability, you must also demonstrate it! Perhaps you truly are, as you say, “familiar with the site and able to resolve the questions of those on the front line accurately and quickly,” but the management is unaware of this. Perhaps you have indeed worked hard, and your supervisor should be aware of that. So, you should check whether all of the supervisor’s requirements have been fulfilled and reported Do you take the initiative to do things that the leader hasn’t mentioned? What was the result? To determine whether a person is suitable, it’s not enough to judge based on individual abilities; what’s more important is whether their personality and way of working fit well within the team, and whether they can be of help to it! For example, in our company, the boss always emphasizes not the most talented people, but the most suitable ones. Also, do you have a team spirit, do you have leadership skills, do you have communication skills, and so on?
He left; he felt he had the ability to move to another place!
Change the couplet: If they say you can do it, then you can; if not, it’s still okay. If they say you can’t do it, then you indeed can’t, no matter what. Title: You have to agree
Thank you for the suggestions from my fellow Hai users. It’s indeed important to have the opportunity provided by management. Now that the manager has been dismissed by the company, I’ve decided to wait a little longer, hoping for an opportunity in a new project
