【Sea River Night Talk】Why don’t leaders call people directly, but instead ask someone else to pass the message?

That’s what’s called having presence: lol If a leader comes to you directly, it’s because they need your help; otherwise it would be beneath their status: lol

If you have to look through the contact list just to make a call, it’s much more convenient to ask an assistant to do it; sometimes you need to contact several people for one task
It’s like how an emperor needs messengers to convey orders; if he has to handle everything personally, he will not only get exhausted but also fail to carry out his duties properly – which is only natural. The reason for creating the position of assistant is to help leaders handle some of their daily tasks.
There are many things to handle as a leader, so I suddenly thought of calling you
It’s not interesting. If we have to consider even this, it’s going to be exhausting! ? As long as the leader has time, they will personally look for someone; if they don’t have time, it’s perfectly fine to ask someone else to do it. There’s no need to overthink it and waste time or emotions. I remember when I was in a leadership role, I would only let someone else do the task if I couldn’t find it myself.
To lead the bureaucrats and make a phone call yourself – is that really that difficult?
When the leader has something to do, he’ll think of you; for any other good things, you won’t get a share!
