How to overcome "Waterloo" in the workplace?

Everyone has a certain degree of inertia, and professionals in the workplace are no exception. Only by adhering to diligence and dedication, and constantly learning and innovating, can you be able to maneuver with ease in the fierce competition in life and work, thereby winning a glorious career, instead of "defeating in Maicheng" and causing a "Waterloo" in your career life. Condition.

A "veteran" regional manager worked in a company for 8 years. Later, because he relied on hard work and had no sense of organization and discipline, he spent time on assignment in the market during the day and "hotels" at night. Staying up all night in Internet cafes and doing nothing all day long, it can be said that your market is in a mess.

One morning, the general manager of the company did not find him in the market during a random unannounced visit. Later, he found the manager who had not yet gotten up in a hotel with good facilities. In order to "kill the chicken to scare the monkey" and protect the company's marketing The seriousness of the system created a real marketing "iron army" team. In the end, the general manager of the company had to wield the "butcher knife" of punishment and decisively "kill" the manager. When we were preparing to fire the regional manager, many people in the company also interceded for him, because this manager had grown and matured day by day with the development of the company. At that time, he was a "Southern Expedition" He was a hero with outstanding achievements in the Northern War and made great contributions to the rapid development of the company. But the general manager of the company did not think so. He said: "In a growing company like ours, what we need is diligence and dedication. Anyone who is as lazy as this person, no matter how high his ability is, , how great the credit is, for the hope of the entire marketing team and the company, we can only deal with it severely and never condone it!”

In fact, in our real workplace life, things similar to the above cases are common. a lot of. Some employees think they are in the old market and "sleep on their laurels". The result of this is: market sales will decline rapidly, dealers' complaints and dissatisfaction will increase significantly, and in the end they may even lead to "careless mistakes". Jingzhou", the market was completely annihilated until the serious consequences of "defeating Maicheng", which eventually led to "the trees fell and the hozens scattered". The market was in a mess, the position was lost, and the future was also ruined. And these are all caused by people's own inertia.

Human laziness can be divided into two types: one is superficial laziness, such as being too lazy to move hands, too lazy to lift feet, and too lazy to open mouth; the other is hidden laziness, also called "positive" "Laziness", for example, on the surface, you are very busy, but in fact your eyes are too lazy to observe and your brain is too lazy to think. Human nature is lazy! And many people have these two kinds of inertia at the same time. When inertia, especially "positive inertia" comes to us, it is like "boiling a frog in warm water". It will make you trapped in it without knowing it, and you may even be unable to extricate yourself.

Yang Fan was appointed as the regional office manager of a well-known home appliance company in 2003. He was in charge of five marketing supervisors and a group of terminal sales representatives. The sales volume in the area in 2002 was nearly 50 million. In 2003, his task was to An increase of 30% on the basis of the previous year. However, due to the growth of the market over the years, dealers have accumulated a large amount of inventory. And because the company was in a cost adjustment year that year, various promotional expenses were significantly reduced: the original promotion fee of 2% of regional sales was reduced. It is 1%, and this amount is directly linked to the regional sales completion rate last month. As a result, the monthly completion rate was always lower than 80%, and of course the promotional fees were gradually reduced. In this way, a vicious cycle was gradually formed. Over the years, they have been used to boosting the market with massive promotions, but now this is a drop in the bucket! Facing the heavy pressure of performance, Yang Fan didn't know what to do. He always sat in the office for a long time - thinking before and after; he always kept "spinning" resources with his leaders - complaining about everyone! Half a year passed quickly, and he was transferred down a level together with another manager who was ranked last. Yang Fan believed that the objective factors for poor performance were the main ones. Moreover, when he was in office, he also ran several large-scale promotional activities with good results even when costs were extremely tight. Therefore, he felt aggrieved, so he In anger, he quit his job.

Time can wash away many memories, but every time Yang Fan mentioned that experience to his friends, he always said that he was not wrong and that he was wronged. In fact, the root cause of his failure was laziness caused by complaining.

“The biggest trouble in life is to settle for mediocrity.” The wave of entrepreneurship inspires everyone who is unwilling to be mediocre and has dreams, so that they can achieve their dreams after countless hardships and struggles.

Laziness will devour the human soul and fill it with jealousy of those who are diligent.

If a lazy person is not sick, it is because he has not found his favorite job yet.

No one is born lazy, people always want to have something to do. People recovering from illness always look forward to getting up, moving around, getting back to work and doing something - anything.

Laziness can lead to boredom, and boredom can lead to laziness. On the contrary, work can arouse interest, and interest can promote enthusiasm and initiative.

Clement Stone once said: "Reason cannot control emotions; on the contrary, actions can change emotions." Choose what you are best at and are most willing to devote yourself to, and then go all out to take action!

Many people have this idea: "My boss is too harsh and it is not worth working for him so hard." However, they ignore this truth: wasting time at work It hurts your employer, but it hurts you more. Some people spend a lot of energy trying to avoid work but are unwilling to put the same amount of energy into trying to get work done. They think they can fool their boss, but in fact, they are only fooling themselves. The boss may not understand each employee's performance or be familiar with the details of each job, but a good manager knows what the final results of his efforts will be. To be sure, promotions and rewards do not come to the cynical.

If you always maintain a diligent work attitude, you will be praised and praised by others, you will win the respect of your boss, and you will also gain one of the most valuable assets - self-confidence and confidence in what you do. The ability to possess the confidence to win the respect of a person or an organization.

Those who are poor in thinking, stupid and lazy only pay attention to the appearance of things and cannot see through the essence of things. They only believe in things like luck, chance, destiny. When they see someone getting rich, they say, "That's luck!" When they see someone knowledgeable, smart, and witty, they say, "That's talent." When they see someone with high moral character and wide influence, they say, "That's talent." Opportunity."

However, they have never witnessed the trials and setbacks those people endured in the process of realizing their ideals. They turn a blind eye to darkness and pain, and light and joy are the focus of their attention; they do not understand that there is no It is simply impossible to realize your dreams without paying an extraordinary price, without unremitting efforts, and without overcoming numerous difficulties.

Everyone has to make unremitting efforts to achieve something. The result depends on the person's efforts. There is no such thing as chance.

Waterloo is not only a sad memory for Napoleon, but also a sad memory for many people. Everyone will encounter "Waterloo" in the workplace in their life. The only difference is that some people will fall into despair and some will make a comeback.

As for your current job, maybe you are like a diligent and hard-working old scalper, doing your job step by step, and the journey has been smooth. However, when you just lower your head to pull the cart, you ignore the potential crises around you and forget to look up at the road. In fact, unknowingly, you have reached the opposite side of the mountain...

There are also people You naively believe that if you are kind to others and have no disputes with the world, right and wrong will be far away from you, but this is not the case. The cold wave in the workplace is likely to come unexpectedly. Everything comes from internal competition, even if you have no idea of ????joining the competition.

When you fall from the bright sunshine into the darkness, you may be at a loss and instinctively choose silence. But is this silence an escape or a defense?

During this period of depression, you who have always been confident in your work and able to handle problems with ease may suddenly become unconfident, helpless and confused like a thick fog, trapping you in it. Whether to persist to the end or give up, two voices collided fiercely in the heart.

Maybe you are ready to leave, but if you leave, you should leave openly and openly after things become clear, and do not retreat in the dark without knowing anything.

Perhaps, due to occasional changes at the top, it will bring you hope and regain your confidence and strength to fight.

However, in the face of the "Waterloo" in the workplace, you must learn to re-examine yourself, learn to adapt to the environment, learn to face setbacks calmly, and understand that some things will come and go when they should come. Don't care too much, and don't panic too much. . Never lose confidence at any time, and always believe that after the storm, there will be bright sunshine.

The human heart is extremely delicate. Precisely because it is subtle and easily shaken, the exercise of the "heart" is indispensable. Mr. Toda once warned people: "In life, a little thing will lead to a big thing, so you must not be careless." It's easy to say it when you are in adversity, especially when things go smoothly, and when everything goes smoothly, you have to be careful. This is Very important. Life is often about "accumulating reasons for victory when you fail, and accumulating reasons for failure when you win." Examining the causes of many accidents, most of them can be prevented before they happen. In most cases, they can be said to be "man-made disasters." If we ask about its origin, in many cases, it is ultimately attributed to mental laxity, only thinking about the best, superficial judgment or understanding, carelessness, inertia, laziness caused by habits, etc. The "heart" of the person itself problem. Therefore, people are warned not to be negligent, and should not just stay at the level of "not relaxing at all". More importantly, they should constantly exercise their inner world in daily life and develop the psychological preparation to never deal with small things lightly.

In the workplace, there are very few women who do outstanding work. Why? Because of women’s ideological errors. In the question "What is the biggest obstacle to women's career development?", 43% of people believe that the lack of pioneering spirit and overall perspective is the primary reason why women have difficulty competing with men. In addition, 22.84% of people believe that "not having high expectations of themselves and underestimating women's advantages in competition" are also important reasons for women's failure in the workplace. Lu Guanqiu's daughter Lu Weifang and the general manager of Wanxiang Group's Beijing representative office once admitted in an interview with the media that "unconfidence" is a common problem among female managers.

In addition, women who fail in the workplace usually suffer from the following common problems: over-dependence, shyness, indecisiveness, procrastination and inefficiency, excessive suspicion and complacency with the status quo. Women usually lack the courage, open-mindedness and foresight of men, and a considerable number of women in the workplace hold the idea that "doing well is not as good as marrying well"...

Everyone has potential energy , but it is easy to be covered up by habits, blurred by time, and consumed by inertia. We must stay away from inertia and never accept "Waterloo" in the workplace. When laziness arises in you, "Waterloo" will also follow. Laziness is the most fundamental reason for people's "Waterloo". The best way to overcome "Waterloo" in the workplace is to nip inertia in the bud and not let it grow in you.
