Why do you want to take the initiative to do some extra work?

Bill is an ordinary employee in a bank, and his work is passable-no big mistakes, no customer complaints, no laziness-but he never does more work. His colleagues think he is not bad: he can finish his work and get along well with everyone. But whenever there is an extra need, he never volunteered; Moreover, if the unit has any extra work, he will confidently bargain, or ask for overtime pay or higher wages. Unlike other cashiers, he doesn't offer suggestions on shortening the waiting time of customers or implementing new customer rewards. He always thinks, "I'm just a small bank teller. Why do I have to do so much?" I just need to do my own thing and not make mistakes. "

In his view, working is equivalent to making money. If the workload exceeds the limit, you have to pay extra, because he thinks that his relationship with the boss is only a contractual relationship, that is, I sell my labor and brain power, and you pay, which has no other connotation. So until he retired, he was still an ordinary bank clerk, and his salary was the same as that of that year.

The society is developing, the company is growing, and the scope of individual responsibility is also expanding. Don't always pass the buck on the grounds that it's not my job. When extra work comes to us, we might as well regard it as an opportunity.

Therefore, complaining about extra work is not a sign of tolerance and professionalism. An employee who has the courage to undertake, work hard and is valued by his boss is not only reflected in doing his job conscientiously, but also in being willing to accept extra work and being able to take the initiative to solve problems for his boss. Because extra work is often urgent and important for the company, it is a good embodiment of professionalism to do it wholeheartedly.

If you want to succeed, you should do something extra besides trying to do your job well. Because only in this way can you always keep fighting spirit, constantly exercise and enrich yourself at work and attract others' attention. If other colleagues give you some work that you shouldn't be responsible for, or your boss asks you to do another thing when you are already busy as a bee, try to accept it cheerfully, so as to attract the boss's attention.

Betty is a quality inspector in a big company. Once, she saw a publicist of the company compiling a publicity material for the company. However, she found that the propagandist lacked talent and was not familiar with his own writing, and the things he made up could not arouse others' interest in reading. Because she likes reading at ordinary times and has some literary talent, Betty took the initiative to compile a publicity material of tens of thousands of words and sent it to the propagandist.

The propagandist found that Betty's material was excellent and informative, far exceeding her own level. He was overjoyed and gave up everything he made up and gave it to the general manager.

The general manager read the publicity materials in detail and called the propagandist to his office the next day.

"You didn't do this, did you?" The general manager asked the propagandist.

"No ... yes ..." The propagandist replied with some trembling.

"Who did it?" The general manager continued to ask.

"It's the quality inspector in the workshop."

"Please ask her to come to my office."

The propagandist's name is Betty

"How did you come up with the idea of making such publicity materials?" The general manager asked Betty.

"I think this will not only help to publicize internal employees and instill our corporate culture, employee awareness and management system, but also help to expand our company's reputation, strengthen our corporate brand and help to sell products." Betty said.

The general manager smiled and said, "I like it very much."

A few days after the conversation, Betty was transferred to the propaganda department as the section chief, responsible for the external publicity of the enterprise. In less than a year, because of her outstanding performance, she was transferred to the general manager's office as a secretary.

This is the great power of a strong sense of responsibility. The same is true at work. Only when an employee has a high sense of responsibility can he give full play to his knowledge and talents.

In practical work, we should do more extra work. Maybe these extra efforts are the beginning of your success. But unfortunately, most people think that it is enough to complete the tasks assigned by the boss, especially those young people who have just stepped into society.

Xiaomou is the sales manager of an IT company. One day, he went to a sales company to contact about the sale of the latest printing equipment, because this is a new product with a popular positioning, and the manufacturer is about to launch a large-scale advertising campaign. In order to gain a larger market share, dealers have a large profit margin. Xiaomou decided to finalize the first batch of orders with some reputable and well-connected dealers before a large number of media reports.

Unfortunately, the boss of the company with which he keeps close business relationship is not in. When he mentioned the upcoming new product, an employee in charge of receiving him said coldly, "The boss is not here! We can't be the master! "

Xiaomou continued to explain to the receptionist how the manufacturer is going to promote this model and how the dealer needs to cooperate with the idea of channel development, trying to get his understanding and response. However, to his disappointment, the salesman didn't listen to his explanation at all, and only used a very simple sentence to prevaricate: "The boss is not here!" " "

Xiaomou was helpless and walked out. He came to the second company with business contacts. Unfortunately, the boss of this company is not here either. Although disappointed, Xiaomou still wants to give it a try and see if he can convince the person who received him.

He was received by a new female employee, who was not only attractive and attractive, but also enthusiastic about her work. When she learned that Xiaomou was the sales manager of a famous IT company, she immediately showed the enthusiasm of a company employee, immediately poured Xiaomou a glass of water and introduced herself.

Xiaomou explained her purpose. With the marketing knowledge she has just learned, she keenly feels that this is a good business opportunity, and she should not let it slip away just because the boss is away. She volunteered to deliver the goods for their company the next day, and other specific matters will be decided after the boss comes back.

The result is clear. In the absence of the boss, the enthusiasm of the female employees in the second company is equivalent to doing a business for the company. There is only one company operating this product in the local market, which sold nearly 3,000 units in less than one month, making a net profit of more than 60,000 yuan for the boss. But the employees of the first company lost good business opportunities because the boss was absent.

Xiaomou later told the boss of the second company about it. Of course, the boss is very happy and satisfied with the new employees he recruited. He not only praised her at the company meeting, but also rewarded her and encouraged her to continue to take the company's affairs as her own.

For the employee's behavior in the first company, Xiaomou did not tell their boss, fearing that the boss would punish or even expel the employee. Although it's none of the employees' business, since the boss has no authorization, the employees can of course ignore it, but the company's business can't be shelved just because the boss is absent.

Of course, if it is traced, the responsibility is not on the employee, and the employee can completely shirk all the responsibilities on the grounds that the boss is absent. However, a core employee will never lack the spirit of active work, and he will always maintain the spirit of spontaneity. They know how to be responsible for themselves, their bosses and their companies.

If you are a freight manager, you may find an undiscovered error on the invoice that has nothing to do with your duties; If you are a weigher, you may be able to question and correct the scale error of the scale to avoid the loss of the company; If you are a postman, in addition to ensuring the timely and accurate arrival of letters, you may be able to do something beyond your responsibility ... These jobs may be the responsibility of professional technicians, but if you do, it is equivalent to sowing the seeds of success.

There are many people around us who only do their own work, draw a clear line inside and outside, or pay more, but this is a great obstacle to improving their work ability. Over time, their bosses will also fall out of favor with you.

How much you pay and how much you get is a well-known law of cause and effect. Maybe your investment can't be rewarded immediately, but don't be discouraged, always pay more, and the reward may appear inadvertently in an unexpected way-becoming the core employee of the enterprise.
