How to quickly read the thick "book" in the workplace before getting promoted and raised?

This article is slightly spicy, and friends with insufficient resistance should be cautious! At one time, some people commented that the viewpoint of the article did not apply to efficient private enterprises. In fact, according to Bian Xiao's observation, as long as there is a workplace, there will be games. It's just that I saw it one day earlier and benefited one day earlier.

Will newcomers have a kind of confusion about "who can I trust in such a big world?" They are confused about what they see and hear eight hours a day, which has become an obstacle to their career progress. Yes, the so-called "workplace truth" is really not what we usually see, so whether we can embark on the road of "workplace" and distinguish the workplace truth has become a crucial factor.

=>& gt Let's do a test first:

Company A is a small company that has just started. The boss recently recruited four internship salesmen to expand the market. After a month's internship, the performance is as follows:

A, be honest and obedient, relax management and be lazy occasionally. The internship score is zero.

B, smart and often praised by leaders. During my internship, I negotiated two deals.

Third, hard-working, after the business will undertake some other work. The internship period is closed.

Ding is flexible and has the advantages of the first three. At present, we are talking about a big business, and the total amount will be more than ten times that of B and C.

The boss decided to leave only one person. Who would you choose? If it is A, congratulations, you don't need to read this article, because you have seen through the truth of the workplace and have the wisdom of the workplace. Then if you choose other answers, we will continue to talk.

What is the workplace?

For Xiao Bai, who has just left campus and entered the workplace, the workplace is a world where he can make great efforts and create a career. With great ambition and profound knowledge, I came to a cubicle in the new company. From then on, this is the main battlefield for the rest of my life! Accept tasks and do projects every day. Busy, but the newcomer's sense of mission and the spur of the leader make him willing to work overtime and work hard. I believe that one day he will be appreciated by his boss, recognized by his colleagues, promoted and raised, and finally achieve the goal of getting ahead.

Will the reality develop smoothly as Xiao Bai imagined? Of course not. What is the workplace?

The so-called workplace refers to the workplace in a narrow sense and the environment, places, people and things related to work in a broad sense, including social life and interpersonal relationships related to work and occupation. Therefore, if we only focus on the improvement of business level, I am afraid the career prospects are worrying. How to master the rules of the workplace with the fastest speed, recognize the truth of the workplace, and evolve from a single business upgrade to a smart upgrade is the most important issue that newcomer Xiaobai should try to ponder.

The workplace is a small society with all aspects.

Xiaobai has been in the company for some time. In the course of his daily work, he naturally realizes that every colleague around him has his own characteristics. For example, colleague A is often so busy that even when greeting new colleagues, he can't look up from the full work list. On the contrary, colleague B is always playing computer games with ease, and is not shy about the supervisor and new colleagues. C, D, E get together and have tea and chat whenever possible. F and g will report to the competent office from time to time. The small ecological environment of such an office is complete. Some people will say that there are not so many colleagues with "characteristics" in my department. Everyone is basically the same, going to work and going home from work. Then please refer to the following analysis and observe carefully, because a completely "pure" organization has no vitality and competitiveness and will be quickly eliminated in the fierce competition. I believe that no supervisor wants his department to be the last one.

Analysis of workplace microenvironment;

As shown in the above figure, seven colleagues can be divided into four quadrants considering their ability and obedience to the supervisor. So what are their status, rights and obligations in the small ecological circle of the office?

So, up to now, can we also analyze our position, which class do you work in?

Work is also divided into three, six, nine and so on.

(1) Job Value Classification

On the second day of Xiaobai's employment, the supervisor assigned him a project planning job. Then, as a newcomer in the workplace, the first thing to master is the value evaluation standard of workplace work.

@ Image Project: Pay little labor and minimum cost to satisfy the responsible boss. It is the work that leaders are most concerned about, which often costs less but will bring vigorous results. This kind of work is basically done by the high management Committee itself, or by employees like F and G.

@ Daily Work: For leaders, there is generally no deadline for work of little value, and excellent completion will not attract others' attention. The biggest feature is huge and endless. This kind of work is often given to the role of colleague A.

@ Junk work: For example, dealing with difficult customers and raising problems that the boss can't solve. This kind of work that everyone can't avoid. If someone must do it, it will usually be handed over to A, because he has taken the job as an inertia, so it is hard to say no.

@ Trap Work: Once it spreads, it is doomed to have no good results. For example, the task assigned by the boss can never be completed. Attention! If you don't want to give up your present position, this kind of work must be avoided!

(2) Evaluation method

So how do we judge what kind of works we have received? Because the information inside the enterprise is often asymmetric, it is difficult for grass-roots employees to master enough information, so generally we judge the value of this work by the attention of leaders and colleagues. Here, the author gives a formula for reference only:

Actual value of work = (boss's attention+job importance+supervisor's attention+supervisor's attention+important colleague's attention) * coefficient of independent or interactive activities * expectation coefficient.

(Note: Please refer to the end of the first chapter of the Handbook of Animal Evolution in the Workplace for the corresponding relationship between specific algorithms and job levels. )

Four major workplace lies

Distinguishing lies from truth is the first step to cultivate workplace wisdom. If you are still convinced of the following ten sentences as a professional, let's analyze the facts today.

(1) Humanized management/People-oriented/Happy work

The truth? => The weakness of human nature determines that management cannot be "people-oriented". If a mature department is "happy at work" from top to bottom every day, it is estimated that it has entered the wrong door and entered the nursing home.

(2) Ability is the most important criterion to measure employees/we can find seats as long as the best employees/capable employees here.

The truth? => Enterprise is the extension and realization tool of the boss's personal idea; A department is the extension and realization tool of the supervisor's personal ideas. The essence of leadership management lies in balance, how to restrain supervisors or employees with excess capacity to serve their "personal ideas" instead of making them "uncontrollable factors in the organization".

(3) Unity within the enterprise.

The truth? => Once the internal "unity", it is time for the organization to get out of control, so enterprise managers should always maintain internal competition. What managers need to do is to let the old employees rely on their own experience to filter the immature ideas and let the truly valuable ideas be reflected. For new employees, it is necessary to challenge tradition to stimulate their vitality and creativity and prove their value.

(4) communication creates value

The truth? => Communication, as a means to clean up the "artificial processing factors" in information, has long been highly praised by managers. However, in this filtering process, more additional information is often added, which eventually leads to the communication between departments becoming the negotiation of sharing stolen goods. The reason why enterprises actively promote the "communication" between departments is to form the interest opposition between departments and prevent subordinates from uniting to harm the interests of enterprises.

(5) Efficiency is everything.

The truth? => Leaders first consider the ability to control the overall situation, and then the issue of efficiency and effectiveness. So there will be a lot of endless garbage work, one of which is to let supervisors strengthen their roles, status and rights.

(6) Give and you will get.

The truth? => In the workplace, giving is never directly proportional to getting, but directly proportional to political sensitivity. For example, colleague A mentioned above is troubled by a lot of garbage work all day. If you accidentally fall into a trap, you are often the first to become a scapegoat. It is precisely because of the lack of wisdom in the workplace that it has become so sad.

We can speak freely.

The truth? => As the saying goes, "Not intimate." Newcomers in the workplace often fall into a language trap because of lack of awareness of prevention. It is the wisest choice to determine your correct workplace orientation and pay attention to your words and deeds.

(8) Equality/fair competition for all.

The truth? => Everyone in the workplace thinks that wills have corresponding free space according to their class status. Once your argument breaks through this space, it means challenging the existing rules. Then you need to make more efforts, make more proofs and make more preparations to support yourself, otherwise the consequences will be quite embarrassing. Therefore, advocating justice requires qualifications.

(9) Governance according to law

The truth? => Social development pursues fairness, while enterprise development pursues profit. Unless the implementation of fairness can bring profits to enterprises, it will inevitably be abandoned. The treatment everyone gets in the workplace is determined by its value to the enterprise. If the value is large, it will be generous, and if the value is small, it will be bitter. It has always been like this.

(10) transparent management

The truth? => Only when the top managers of an enterprise remain obscure and opaque will they put pressure on their subordinates, forcing them to serve the enterprise objectively while making subjective profits. And transparent management will only make managers transparent, unable to manage the interests of subordinates under moral constraints, and eventually lose their rights and influence.

5 the wisdom of the supervisor

After recognizing the truth of the workplace, with solid business skills and flexible workplace wisdom, Xiaobai was quickly promoted to department head. Has risen to a new level, how to continue to develop?

(1) It is no longer a simple friendship with former friends. There is only the principle of right and wrong based on interests between superiors and subordinates. If we ignore this principle and treat each other as friends in the past, the department will inevitably get out of control.

(2) Use incompetent employees to contain competent employees; Use the employees who obey the arrangement to contain the employees who do not obey the arrangement; Use employees without political consciousness to contain employees with political consciousness. So as to achieve the stability of its main position and the smooth operation of the department.

(3) What the supervisor needs most is a combination model that is beneficial to him, which can reflect the will and desire of the supervisor to the greatest extent, rather than highlighting the personal ability of each employee. Therefore, the supervisor needs to check and balance the employees in the department to strengthen the dependence of subordinates on them.

After becoming a supervisor, Xiao Bai divided the employees into three groups according to his long-term observation. As shown in the following figure: (Note that at present, D has left, and H, a newcomer to the department, has joined)

The first group:

The second group:

The third group:

Mutual restraint among groups:

In this way, the checks and balances will be clear at a glance ~ Of course, in the real workplace, there will be no absolute ABCD, so we need to improve our workplace wisdom and master methods flexibly, so as to put ourselves in a stable and favorable position, thus successfully completing the evolution of the workplace and realizing our dream goal when we first entered the workplace!

Finally, I'll send you a pair of couplets in A Dream of Red Mansions: everything is learned when things are clear, and human cultivation is an article. I wish you all know the world in your respective posts, master the rules, and constantly improve your workplace wisdom, so as to reach the peak of your life!
