M said that people in the workplace will always go through the "mushroom period"

Newcomers can only do some unremarkable things. Those who do a good job will gradually be concerned, and those who do not will gradually be marginalized. Just like mushrooms, they can't get sunlight when they grow in dark corners, and they will be exposed to sunlight only when they grow tall enough. This is the "mushroom effect". The corresponding mushroom management method is a management method for most enterprises to treat novices.

The law of mushrooms is that people who have just joined the WTO are often placed in dark corners, ignored or running errands. Just like mushroom cultivation, they have to be thrown dung, accepted all kinds of unwarranted criticism, accusations and handed down from generation to generation, and are in the process of fending for themselves without necessary guidance and support. The growth of mushrooms must go through such a process, and so must the growth of people.

Traditionally, this "mushroom experience" is not necessarily a bad thing, because it is a kind of training before talents "shed their shells", which can eliminate some unrealistic fantasies, thus making people closer to reality, thinking and dealing with problems more rationally, and promoting the cultivation of people's will and endurance. However, from the perspective of development, mushroom management has inherent shortcomings: first, it is too slow, fearing that weeds will cover it before it grows tall, so that it has no chance to grow; Second, lack of initiative. Some genetically good mushrooms meet stones as soon as they are unearthed. They are stillborn because they can't get help.

The "mushroom effect" vividly explains most people's work experience: a person who has just joined the work always does something unremarkable first and gets no attention. When he works in obscurity for a period of time, if he works well, he will gradually be valued and reused; If the work is not excellent, it will gradually be marginalized or even forgotten. However, if people look at it from the perspective of development, the "mushroom effect" also has inherent shortcomings: for some truly talented and ambitious young people, the "mushroom experience" may consume the best time of their lives, and may even be buried (dead) because they are ignored (growing in a dark corner) and unable to get the necessary guidance and support (no sunshine and no fertilizer).

So, should the company give each new person enough space and resources to avoid the mushroom effect? Of course not. First of all, the company is a profit-making organization with limited resources. Every resource should be used where it can create the greatest value. Secondly, from the perspective of company management, the "mushroom law" in the sense of management is a very suitable management method for organizing and treating newcomers in the workplace.

Newcomers in the workplace think that they have been assigned to a department that nobody cares about, or they have been assigned to run errands. As they say, "people who eat whole grains, do odd jobs and do miscellaneous things" are often criticized by others for no reason and lack the necessary attention, guidance and support for them. However, every competent manager should start from the small things at the grass-roots level, mainly for the following reasons: only starting from the grass-roots level can we understand the overall operation of enterprise production and operation and be more handy in future work; Starting from the grassroots level is conducive to accumulating experience, integrity and popularity, which is a very important and indispensable factor for success; Starting from the grassroots, employees can endure hardships, stand tests, experience hardships in different positions and even struggle in life, and know how to cherish them. It is also convenient for enterprises to discover, cultivate and attach importance to talents.

Therefore, "mushroom experience" is a necessary step for young people to grow up. At the beginning, having a "mushroom experience" is not necessarily a bad thing. Many opportunities in your career are obtained in every monotonous work practice. If you don't want to engage in monotonous work from the beginning, you will never get a chance of promotion! How to walk through this period of life efficiently, learn from it as much as possible, mature and establish a good and trustworthy personal image is a subject that every young person who has just stepped into society must face.

1. Eliminate unrealistic illusions. Many young people leave campus and think that their work should be reused from the beginning. However, they lack work experience and the ability to take on heavy responsibilities. Only after a period of tempering and eliminating unrealistic fantasies can we grow up slowly.

2. Eliminate complacency about achievements. For beginners, after finishing their work and making achievements, they always hope that their superiors and colleagues will pay attention to themselves, and it is best to add a word or two of praise; When you encounter setbacks and do something wrong, you always feel that others have been staring at you and are ready to blame yourself. But everyone has their own heavy work and life troubles, and no one has time to pay attention to others deliberately.

3. Accelerate the process of adapting to society. If you want to be comfortable in shopping malls, you need not only professional knowledge and technology, but also various social skills. Capable and proactive, they have too much in common, such as standards of behavior and ways of thinking. We call this successful model business adaptive behavior. Whether people can adapt to the behavior patterns and game rules of shopping malls depends on the initial growth process.

4. Don't appreciate that pit. People may stumble inadvertently or suffer unexpected losses. The great writer Shen Congwen once gave some life advice to the great painter Huang Yongyu. The first is to get up when you fall, and don't appreciate the hole you have made. Why are you rushing forward? Because now that you have fallen, remember this lesson, and then continue to appreciate this pit and feel sorry for yourself, which will not help, and will ruin your mood; On the other hand, this appreciation will delay the future journey, and because of the bad mood and inattention, the probability of falling again will be greater. Only those who have the courage to "start all over again" have the mind and courage to do great things.

5. Let the pain dig out a new source of life. Before we succeed, we often encounter unfair treatment such as discrimination and insult, which makes us both sad and angry. However, neither sadness nor anger can solve any problems. In the face of "mushroom experience", it is useless for a person to suffer. Only by sublimating the pain and transferring one's life energy to a more creative place will there be another world of life. Although the "mushroom experience" has brought pressure and pain to the parties, and may even lead some people to go astray in their careers, some people have come out of this difficult period and ushered in success. Everyone knows the story of J K Rowling.

6. Know yourself. If you stay a "mushroom" for too long, you may become incompetent in the eyes of everyone. Therefore, in the company, you must be good at expressing yourself before you have a chance to stand out. Make full use of company meetings to express opinions; Take the initiative to show your achievements; Face calmly; Dare to take risks; Try to avoid taking on tasks that you can't directly control, and get into the habit of reporting in time.

If a person has been a "mushroom" for too long, he should reposition himself and his work. There are no omnipotent wizards in the world, and you can only succeed in one or two aspects at most. You can only gather all your energy, focus on the direction that suits you best, and be an excellent you. People know that people with different personalities must be placed in the most suitable position in order to exert their greatest potential.

So how can we shorten the mushroom period we have experienced?

1. Work hard. Work hard, talk less and do more. Newcomers in the workplace who have just entered the society often have unrealistic illusions and expect to have a well-paid, challenging and interesting career. In fact, young people who have just entered the workplace, due to lack of experience and understanding of the concept and culture of the unit, are hard to be entrusted with heavy responsibilities. When expectations conflict with reality, they often lose confidence and enthusiasm for their work, and tend to adopt a perfunctory attitude when working. Therefore, newcomers in the workplace should adjust their mentality and be honest with each other.

2. Have a good attitude. After studying hard for more than ten years, after rounds of job fairs and brave interviews, the newcomers in the workplace finally made a start, found a job, and prepared to show their talents with infinite expectations. Going to the society and feeling good about yourself should be the so-called "talents". However, the reality of being assigned as a "coolie" has given them a blow, so that they have doubts about whether this is a talent or a coolie. In fact, the truth of workplace and life is the same. Only by starting from a low point and planning forward step by step can you achieve great things. Success is everyone's goal, but we should avoid quick success. Behind every successful person, there is a bitter story, and everyone has painful hardships and experiences. In the mushroom period of career, it is especially necessary to adjust the mentality. We should constantly adjust ourselves, remain calm, patient, careful and focused, and treat work and life with optimism and confidence.

3. adapt to the environment. In a complex workplace, the most important thing is adaptability. People in the workplace have their behavior standards and thinking patterns. They should settle down, learn to think and act independently, learn to bear and endure, talk less and do more, and strive to adapt to the working environment and society. Competent leaders also like ambitious and down-to-earth people. He should have lofty aspirations, have higher requirements for himself and the enterprise, and be able to settle down and improve himself step by step. Passion is indelible, but patience and waiting are more important than impulse and passion. Both passion and patience show that this person is mature, and only passion is easy to be impulsive. When you go to an dissatisfied company, or are assigned to an dissatisfied position and do boring work, you should learn to adapt. This is because, to change the environment, the premise is to adapt to the environment first.

4. Work hard. Take what you are doing seriously and go all out to do it. This is the beginning of all undertakings and lays a solid foundation for the future. Newcomers in the workplace don't have much ability and experience, so they can't deeply understand the cultural concept of the organization, so they are generally not entrusted with heavy responsibilities and often do trivial work, but they can't be taken seriously and perfunctory because of small things. If you can't even do small things well, who dares to give you big things? As the saying goes, how can you sweep the world without sweeping a house? Therefore, as a writer said, "No matter what you do, you must do your best and be meticulous, because we don't know what is the overall situation and what is the most important. Perhaps the trivial details in our eyes may actually be life and death. "

5. Accumulate contacts. As a newcomer in the workplace, you don't know the situation of the organization. You should do more small things, shut up, talk less, and listen to your colleagues' voices to avoid becoming a circle of right and wrong. At the same time, you should pursue the way of dealing with people from the inner circle, that is, honesty, trustworthiness and modesty, and pay attention to methods, skills and art from the outer circle to accumulate enough contacts. You should know that popularity is also productivity. Today's efforts will have fruitful results tomorrow. Good interpersonal relationship is the display of personality charm, the performance of strength accumulation and the best way to accumulate resources.

6. Keep learning. Education represents the past, and learning ability represents the future. It is also the growth of your personal ability to keep learning and charging. On-the-job title evaluation, professional certificate examination, academic promotion, etc. They are all ways to show their own value. It is certainly better to find a more suitable method from the media era.

7. Welcome to change. In today's world, the only constant is change. The changing society and changing environment require us to change and update our strategies in time to adapt to the changing environment. Faced with this changing environment, this uncertainty is difficult to grasp, which requires us to take risks and be brave in taking risks. This spirit of adventure is embodied in the spirit of innovation and self-challenge, which is also the driving force for the development and growth of the organization.

8. Find the right position. Newcomers in the workplace should use SWOT and other analytical methods to position their career, evaluate their strengths and weaknesses, and put their limited energy into those jobs that can really bring development opportunities to your career. At the same time, work is only part of self-improvement. They should actively participate in various cultural and sports activities organized by the unit, show themselves there, exercise their abilities, get recognition from colleagues and bosses, and truly integrate into this team. Only when newcomers in the workplace improve their ability to know the society and themselves at the same time, take every little thing seriously, work hard, face your organization, boss and colleagues with an optimistic, confident and upward attitude, adapt to the workplace environment as soon as possible, and find a career plan that suits them, can they get out of the "mushroom period" of career development efficiently and smoothly, and the spring of career development can really come.

9. Persistence is the key. The idea that many people are most likely to have during the "mushroom experience" is to give up. However, the real success belongs to persistent people. Only by finding the right goal, sticking to it and accumulating some valuable experience and quality in the "mushroom experience" can we pave the way for the future "thick accumulation and thin hair". When you are unsuccessful, you will often encounter unfair treatment such as discrimination and insult. Don't dwell on these problems. It is wise to be self-reliant and self-reliant, constantly strengthen your own strength and prove your value with practical actions.

"Mushroom experience" is one of the longest and most painful exercises in my career, which plays a vital role in reflecting the value of life. After this stage of tempering, you will master the operational skills of your current job, improve your ability to deal with people, and challenge the will of frustration and failure, which is also the most important. Many abilities have paved the way for the smooth development of your future career. In this sense, "mushroom experience" is a valuable asset of life.

The tempering on the career road is not a performance on the stage. It not only needs to enter the role, but also bears all kinds of misfortunes in real life and experiences the pain of repeated setbacks in career. There are always all kinds of disappointments in career, but a strong-willed person can turn adversity into prosperity and find a turning point in setbacks. On the contrary, many people, because of the lack of life training, once they encounter sudden setbacks or misfortunes, they lose to themselves once and lose to themselves forever.

Mushroom period is an inevitable and indispensable experience and process. What we have to do is to shorten it as much as possible and perfect it after it grows.
