What did you understand when you became a leader?

I finally rose from reserve cadre to project manager. I thought I finally had a bright future. I was promoted and rose to a higher position in my career. However, just after taking office, the leader poured cold water on it. He said that I "sat on my ass in this position, but there was no understanding from the leader in my mind." If I don't understand, I will be removed sooner or later. "

20 16 years, I worked in the company as a reserve cadre in the future 1 year. The real estate situation improved that year, and the leaders directly under me made outstanding achievements and promoted the project manager. I naturally achieved the position of project manager. Although there are only four people in the department, I have been promoted at least once, and I have been addicted to being a leader.

On my first day in office, my former colleagues gave us a celebration dinner. That day, we were drunk. When we were happy, we picked up our mobile phone and sent a circle of friends with the attached article "Drink today, get drunk tomorrow". However, just two minutes after the circle of friends was launched, my former leader called to scold me:

"Your boy's brain is broken, and having a celebration dinner is to let the whole company know that you have been promoted? My ass is not hot yet. I think my head will burn out. I quickly deleted my circle of friends. Really don't worry. "

The leader finished and hung up the phone directly. I broke out in a cold sweat as if I had fallen into an ice cave. I immediately deleted the circle of friends that I just sent, and I didn't dare to show panic. Back on the wine table, my colleague confessed. I just came out for a drink tonight to have fun, and then I went home to rest.

That night, I was lying in bed, and my mind was full of words on the phone of the leader. I have been refreshing my circle of friends with my mobile phone to see if my colleagues who are drinking together have sent a circle of friends, and I didn't fall asleep until around 2 am.

After a week or so, I had the cheek to go to the old leader. After more than two hours of conversation, he regarded himself as a leader's experience and a few treasures he knew over the years, and I have been teaching him.

Since then, after several years of tempering, I gradually understand that there are some things that must be understood when I take the leadership position.

The circle of friends is no longer their own, and it has become a platform for free publicity of the company.

I understood this from the celebration dinner that day. Once I took the leadership position, my QQ, real name Weibo and WX circle of friends became the company's free advertising platform.

I can't send out my usual mood and thoughts. After I sent it, I felt that other leaders or employees of the company were no longer as insignificant as grass-roots employees. They will use a "leader's look" to evaluate their published status.

And you can't explain and defend like an ordinary employee. Just like what I posted at the celebration dinner, "Today's wine is tomorrow's wine", the old leader's first feeling after seeing it was "This boy is floating", which is why he scolded me so severely, but in fact I just expressed "I had a good time drinking today".

In the work group, all kinds of recruitment, publicity and news dynamic information of the company must be forwarded immediately after seeing it, because as long as you are not the boss, you should always think of the company in the eyes of the boss, and you need to let the boss see your high consciousness as a leader.

The salary is relatively confidential, especially the quarterly bonus and year-end bonus. It must be kept secret in the company.

In fact, the salary system of our industry is very transparent. According to different levels, the basic salary of managers is 30%-50% higher than that of ordinary employees, and the performance ratio is 10 or 20 percentage points higher than that of ordinary employees. The only difference is the quarterly bonus and the year-end bonus.

My old leader once revealed to me what his year-end bonus was. I took 28,000 yuan that year, and he showed me more than 60,000 mobile phone arrival information. I was still a little balanced. After all, he is the leader, and the year-end award is doubled, which is nothing.

But when I became a leader, I discovered how naive the idea was at that time. In my first year as a leader, during the Chinese New Year, the year-end bonus was indeed twice that of employees, but! ! ! In the second month after going to work, there was a huge sum of money in the salary card.

Because the salary card was tied to my wife's mobile phone, I received a series of bombings from my wife WX without much thought. I saw a series of question marks on the data, and I was also confused at that time.

Seeing the words "one-time bonus income for the whole year" in the posting information, I once thought that there was something wrong with the company's finances, but I was afraid to say anything. I can only ask finance carefully. Only after I got a positive answer did I know that the money was mine. It is the company that pays the year-end bonus in stages, taking into account the tax avoidance of people in leadership positions.

I told my wife the good news calmly, and my heart was really mixed. It turned out that my most respected leader also cheated me in terms of income, but when I wanted to understand, I felt that the leader had done nothing wrong.

If employees know that there is a huge income gap between themselves and their leaders, the gap in their hearts is definitely irreparable. Perhaps employees with a better mentality can digest this gap after a while, but there are always some employees who will affect their usual work and even walk slowly because of this gap.

After becoming a leader, there is only a relationship between superiors and subordinates in the company, and it is impossible to have friends again.

When I was promoted, I gradually alienated a colleague who had worked together for more than three years. We are engaged in real estate development, and our office hours are all in other places. This company has staff quarters. I lived with this colleague for three years. In my wife's words, "as a wife, she hasn't lived in the same house with me for that long, and it feels like you two are just wearing a pair of pants."

As a leader, I always get up a few minutes earlier than me in the morning and don't ask me to have breakfast. Obviously, there are fewer and fewer words between us. Apart from some exchanges at work, we have little in common in private.

I remember one morning, I got up late, because the car was stuck in the community, and I asked him to wait for me a little. When I went downstairs, I saw him sitting in the car, anxiously watching the entrance, and immediately shouted at me after reading it: "Li, hurry up, you will be late soon."

Hearing him call my name, I felt a little surprised and happy, so I got on the bus quickly. On the way to the company, I always wanted to find a topic to talk about, but I gave up the idea when I saw him in a hurry. After I played cards in the company, his words completely made me understand the sentence "the top is too cold"

He said to me, "Manager Li, I was in a hurry this morning. I'm sorry for calling your name. If I am late, my salary will be deducted. You are different. Leaders have the privilege of being leaders, and it is nothing to be late once or twice. " So this morning, I said I'm sorry. "

I have nothing to say at the moment. It was obviously my own fault that caused him to be almost late. If I were a leader, he would complain constantly and would "blackmail" me into inviting me to dinner. This little thing also made me understand that it is impossible to make friends in the company when I am a leader.

There can be no fairness and justice. A bowl of water would rather be sprinkled than flat.

Before I became a leader, I felt that leaders would strive for our own interests as much as possible in their work, but I often felt that some of the words and practices of leaders were unfair, so I thought that the day I became a leader, I must make a bowl of water, so that my brothers could not be treated unfairly.

When I became a leader, I realized that this idea was simply fantastic. My position and position have changed, and the work content seems relaxed, but more work pressure has followed. With the increasing pressure, the requirements for employees will become more and more strict.

The leaders of a company have primary and secondary points, and employees in the same department will also have primary and secondary points. For competent employees, leaders will be more willing to arrange more work, because the output and efficiency of these people's work can offset these pressures borne by leaders.

This has led to the employees at the same level being "reused" by the leaders to varying degrees. Some people complain about the unfair treatment of leaders, and they are full of complaints, and even have the illusion that leaders would rather let others rest and only use themselves.

When I became a leader, I realized that a leader who can level a bowl of water and distribute his work evenly must be an enterprising leader. At work, I will also give some important and urgent work to someone completely. Even if he gets the same salary and treatment as other colleagues, it is unfair to him, but I will leave him the opportunity of promotion and salary increase first, which is another kind of fairness in my opinion.

Write it at the end

If I don't pretend to be a leader, these problems may never be understood. I am very grateful to the leader who gave me unfair treatment, and I am also very grateful to him for his constant inculcation. After becoming a leader, what I thought I knew before gradually gained another layer of understanding.

I believe that everyone in the workplace has the idea of being a leader, so you must understand that the position will only be reserved for those who are prepared, and you need to prepare not only your own work ability and business achievements, but also a heart and a clear mind that can withstand these great changes.

I said I love sharing, love life, be grateful for tomorrow and have you!
