What should newcomers in the workplace do if they are "delicate", "retarded" and "unreliable"?

Growth is a game, and encouraged newcomers start first.

Last weekend, a friend told me that she was going to be angry with an intern in the department.

According to a friend, this intern girl is a bit dull and not very smart. You can't always do what others say.

There are problems in the work, and after pointing them out, they just say which point to change, and there is no ability to draw inferences.

For example, she was assigned a task to organize an article about the new function of the product. She dawdled for three or four days, and then produced a "work", but it was almost copied according to the product documents provided by technology, a big article.

Friends feel quite speechless.

Ask elder sister, if you send it out like this, will users click open?

She looked blank and said in a not very firm tone, I tried to be comprehensive and detailed;

Let her find a picture, the style is definitely not uniform;

A little heavier will make you angry and put it on your face;

Gradually, her colleagues lost patience with her, so she made more and more mistakes in her work and became less and less concerned about things.

Finally, she developed into a very "depressed" state:

If you say something to me, she will forcibly push it back: "but I won't."

Still a face of injustice.

So in less than three weeks, the girl has been reduced to running errands for everyone.

At a departmental meeting, a friend handed over the work originally assigned to her to other interns.

Then, suddenly, I met my sister's injured and wronged eyes.

My friend opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Yeah, what can I say?

Say, "If you don't do a good job, it will drag down the whole team, so if you have growth opportunities, room for development and interesting work, you will give it to others." Really?

Yes, obviously, this has already happened.

But it's too bad to say so.

The friend sighed.

Whether she stays or not, I hope the children can improve their abilities here.

But what should we do with such a not-so-clever sister-she is so busy at work that we have so many things to worry about.

I know my friend's temper and what kind of person she likes.

She is a typical "technology flow" leader, smart and rational, with strong professional and business abilities.

Her previous working experience in a multinational group made her accustomed to the working atmosphere in which efficiency comes first and mission must be achieved.

The default workplace rule in her mind is that "everyone should do his own job".

On the one hand, this is an advantage, which enables her to do a good job in plan control such as consistent decision-making, target decomposition and plan prediction. So that she and the team she leads can execute the chart with few mistakes.

On the other hand, it also makes her work too "smooth", so, like many excellent managers in big companies, she concentrates on doing "things" and ignores understanding "people".

Now, in a rapidly changing industry, it is difficult to draw up a very accurate job responsibility-Internet.

Although she still assumes that everyone knows his role and value,

It is difficult for an intern who "I don't understand anyway" to find a suitable position.

Taking interns is really a challenge.

What can we do when the intern's ability or initiative is not satisfactory?

I told my friend that she obviously lacks a sense of belonging to you.

Let's not talk about this. Let's simplify things and say something else. Let's take the game as an example.

Many people will have a sense of belonging and be fascinated by video games.

In the game, they choose the characters they are good at and like, spend a lot of time and energy, run errands for NPC optimistically and actively, and cut and kill monsters repeatedly but tirelessly;

In the game, if they successfully challenge a certain level, they will expect to fight harder and get greater success and reward;

And when you fail, you will be motivated-just to be strong in the game;

Moreover, they will spare no effort to recommend it to their friends. XX game is really a world with a good experience!

A good workplace atmosphere can also give people a sense of belonging and make people excited. They are proud of the strength of this organization and are eager to become an important role in it.

A good workplace atmosphere is actually very similar to a successful game, right?

How does the game do this?

Task system from simple to difficult ※

You have just entered a game and know almost nothing about the world. What should you do?

The system tells you that it doesn't matter if you don't understand. Come on, let's finish the task. It's simple.

Looking for a monster's tail for the muscular uncle in the blacksmith's shop,

Send a letter to the old gardener at the village entrance.

Running around, killing a few weak monsters,

You can move on to the next stage,

You can also get some treasures that will be very useful in the early days.

This feedback system allows you to get into the game quickly without giving up.

Like this:

Running errands for NPC, get the feedback of "You are great".

I mean, give her some simple but challenging tasks first, and then praise her after completion.

Get the "three views" information in the task, understand it and bring it in. ※

In the game, you will know what kind of world this is by doing tasks.

For example, a common setting:

There is a bad god in the world, and he has a group of believers. His followers swept the whole world with evil forces, killed unbelievers and absorbed the races that were willing to join. Now the evil legion has come to human territory, but human beings believe in light and justice. So we should unite all the forces that can be United (dragons, the power of elements, other races, etc. ), against them, to maintain the purity and stability of the world.

Is it burning and moving?

When you know that the trivial things you do are all part of the grand mission of this organization.

The picturesque world unfolds slowly in front of you.

At first, we will tell the couple:

What kind of values does our organization have;

What are our partners, users and competitors?

Our beliefs and goals.

Everything you do is to help us develop,

Thank you.

I know what is worth doing here. ※

What things are important and urgent here.

For example,

Screenshots and lines of a movie adapted from a game;

So, the new people gradually know that,

Is the most important thing here production, management, defense or fighting?

Think positively,

I, who just came here,

What value will I provide?

Determine the path you want to take, the people you want to meet and the people you want to be. ※

What are the heroes of this world doing?

How you will approach them step by step.

The heroes here are all young people like you.

They don't admit defeat, they are aggressive.

Just like you, with a strong desire to "understand", they run errands first. Because of their efforts and efforts, they quickly rose to a higher level, left the novice village, teamed up to brush copies, became familiar with the world, unlocked new levels, and then fought to protect their trade unions and families.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

Are you ready?

After all, the significance of our efforts is to make the world a better place.

And, repeatedly, seriously and tirelessly give the couple a promise:

Go on a trip, brave boy,

With the improvement of your ability,

Wealth and glory will belong to you,

The future belongs to you.

Corresponding to real-world organizations, aren't these initial instructions just "corporate culture" training?

Many people think that corporate culture is very empty, so just talk casually in a big company like HR.

But in "big companies", the accusations of "brainwashing", "not landing" and "young people can't listen now" have never stopped.

In small companies, especially startups, everyone is very busy.

Of course, only you can understand. If you don't feel it yourself, who is to blame?

Well, maybe many people take it for granted, and maybe they can blame the novice himself.

However, if every employee feels that the environment is safe, friendly and successful, it will bring good influence and benefits, which will greatly promote the overall efficiency.

Lei Wen, the father of social psychologists, pointed out that all individual behaviors (including psychological activities) are the result of the interaction between individuals and the environment.

Moreover, Lei Wen put forward the concept of "quasi-fact":

The same person will have different behaviors in different environments;

Even the same person, if the "quasi-fact" given to him and the situation have changed, will have different behaviors towards the same environment.

If we can maintain a "field",

It can increase the probability of people doing good things in this environment, so why not?

"Corporate culture" is a "quasi-fact" to maintain the organizational environment, which is very important for the guidance and integration of new people.

Even a blank intern and fresh graduates should understand organizational culture before understanding specific skills.

Now it is easier and easier to learn specific skills: videos, articles, books, sharing with the gods, membership assistance,

As long as one is motivated and has a clear goal, it is not a myth for 1 week to learn a new skill in this era of information explosion.

Trust is hard.

How can you expect a newcomer to devote himself wholeheartedly when he can't understand and trust the goals, values and working methods of this organization well?

To make matters worse, the view of social psychology is that strangeness and unknowns will lead to misinterpretation and misreading, which will lead to hostility and prevention.

The difficulty of trust is also related to this era of information explosion.

When you watch Ma Yun's speech, the myth of creating wealth in the media and all kinds of one-sided PR drafts that can only be logical and important information will not be revealed, it is inevitable that many people will consciously have a high eye before contacting the real society.

People will become impetuous in such an environment.

Compared with us who used to believe in hard work and talent, the newcomers in the workplace are indeed open-minded, quick-thinking and brave in innovation.

But more or less there will be the idea of quick success and instant benefit:

If they can't succeed immediately, they are more likely to get depressed and give up than those before them.

Although the world works, it is not driven by the desire for quick success and instant benefit.

If a person wants to make achievements, it will not be easy to read the "secrets" revealed by some successful people, and many of them are still kept secret by Shimada Hanzo.

If you want to achieve something, you need not only the "crash" of basic skills,

What is more needed is to have the most basic trust in yourself and the current environment:

I believe that continuous investment will transform what I want, although it is very complicated, not linear, and it will happen overnight.

Even I know this may not happen.

But the more I participate, the more likely I am.

Because of trust, people are willing to abandon the noise, hone their skills, work hard and move forward firmly.

So, what if the newcomer looks a little coquettish and a little headstrong?

Let's talk about formal and informal communication first, such as interviews during recruitment, individual conversations after employment, and invitations to dinner.

Tell him what this organization is like,

Who are the awesome people here?

Your boss, what kind of person am I,

What I want you to be.

Those cows that look like you are on it,

I used to be like you,

First of all, with a strong desire to "understand", I actively participated in various tasks:

Start from debugging and grow rapidly;

After they have a certain ability and understanding of the work, they begin to assist and optimize a module;

Then, they began to control a product line and a project, and they were constantly familiar with the way of learning and docking upstream and downstream, tempering and the surrounding world;

Finally, they found an excellent direction and cut-in angle, so we tried to optimize the whole industrial chain and business logic together and strive to make the world a better place.

Mobilizing interest and desire can improve the probability of a person's achievement, but ignoring and "what should you do anyway", whether he can achieve, whether he is willing to contribute to the achievement organization, can only rely on luck.

Teaching and learning learn from each other,

Experienced workers,

There are many places to learn from new people.

The greatest wealth that beginners can inspire and contribute,

I don't grasp the trivial and meticulous work affairs very quickly.

But curiosity, drive, and trying to find one way unconsciously find another. ...

And enthusiasm.

Just like Steve Jobs said, we should keep our initial heart, initial heart, initial heart.

Another internship season. I wish you all a happy new year and get along well with new people.
