Edited at 2025-03-06 10:42:40Rumi: 10 dimensions of spiritual awakening. When you stop looking for yourself, you will find the entire universe because what you are looking for is also looking for you. Anything you do persevere every day can open a door to the depths of your spirit. In silence, I slipped into the secret realm, and I enjoyed everything to observe the magic around me, and didn't make any noise. Why do you like to crawl when you are born with wings? The soul has its own ears and can hear things that the mind cannot understand. Seek inward for the answer to everything, everything in the universe is in you. Lovers do not end up meeting somewhere, and there is no parting in this world. A wound is where light enters your heart.
Chronic heart failure is not just a problem of the speed of heart rate! It is caused by the decrease in myocardial contraction and diastolic function, which leads to insufficient cardiac output, which in turn causes congestion in the pulmonary circulation and congestion in the systemic circulation. From causes, inducement to compensation mechanisms, the pathophysiological processes of heart failure are complex and diverse. By controlling edema, reducing the heart's front and afterload, improving cardiac comfort function, and preventing and treating basic causes, we can effectively respond to this challenge. Only by understanding the mechanisms and clinical manifestations of heart failure and mastering prevention and treatment strategies can we better protect heart health.
Ischemia-reperfusion injury is a phenomenon that cellular function and metabolic disorders and structural damage will worsen after organs or tissues restore blood supply. Its main mechanisms include increased free radical generation, calcium overload, and the role of microvascular and leukocytes. The heart and brain are common damaged organs, manifested as changes in myocardial metabolism and ultrastructural changes, decreased cardiac function, etc. Prevention and control measures include removing free radicals, reducing calcium overload, improving metabolism and controlling reperfusion conditions, such as low sodium, low temperature, low pressure, etc. Understanding these mechanisms can help develop effective treatment options and alleviate ischemic injury.

Explore the deep meaning hidden by leaders
Understand the "subtext"
Leaders have their own way of speaking. They often do not express their feelings directly when speaking, but are used to using the help of "unspoken" to leave more room for themselves.
When listening to your leader’s speech, remember not to “snap words”. Many times, what the leader says is just to express an attitude
Subtext often appears in tentative questions. In this case, the leader has mastered some information and has a certain judgment, but he is not sure whether the information and judgment are accurate. In order to leave room for himself, he will lay subtext in tentative questions.
Subtext is also a tactful way of expression. Direct words may cause greater psychological pressure to oneself or others. Burying subtext can leave room for both parties.
Generally speaking, the leader is tactfully expressing his rejection without expressing his approval.
Micro-action, big article
Micro-movement is the instinct of the human body's subconscious mind and the expression of the true inner self.
For the leader's physical movements, you should observe the details and analyze the specific problems in detail. After all, the details are revealed in the true meaning.
Clothes like the person
The internationally common TPO principle shows that clothing is also a language. The TPO principle believes that when people choose clothing, they usually consider the coordination of time, place, and purpose.
A leader’s clothing style contains the image characteristics he wants to show most, and is closely related to his personality characteristics.
Leaders who prefer formal clothing usually do things seriously and advocate rules and order.
Sportswear represents more of the advocacy of personality and vitality, and the management style is more casual and free
"One glance" is not enough to show the true meaning
"Seeing the big from the small" is not without reason, but you should be careful not to make the mistake of "generalizing the whole" and be confused by the "one-eye view".
Do not make judgments prejudice, first of all, communicate more and communicate frequently
A leader who seems to be "not caring about anything" may also have a clear idea of what happened
Do leaders don't like me
The leader doesn't like you
Not available
Leaders do not like employees who are incompetent
Don't dare to use it
A kind of employee with outstanding abilities but arrogant talent
"Slippant" employees
"One thing in person, one behind the scenes"
Don't want to use it
Introverted, don't have much contact with leaders on weekdays
Message and complain
If you don't like your leader, you will do this
Take a evasive attitude
To avoid having direct contact with you, he will try to choose email or text messages instead of face-to-face communication.
Become impatience
Will show repulsion to you that is different from ordinary people
Sometimes the "malice" released by the leader is actually deliberate, and it is intended to test the pressure resistance of subordinate employees.
What should you do if your leader doesn't like it
The best result is that you work together with your leader to reflect on the reasons why you cannot get along happily and the problems you have
If the problem is serious, you might as well communicate openly and honestly and tell the matter. The problem will be exposed and the misunderstanding will be resolved.
The path to compromise is nothing more than the following two: either change yourself or accept the status quo
When you feel that the problems that your leader not only affect your relationship, but also harm the interests of the organization, it becomes very necessary to truthfully report the situation to higher-level leaders.
Whether you are changing yourself, accepting the status quo, or taking a more intense approach, don't lose yourself in order to maintain a working relationship, causing yourself to blindly cater to your leader's preferences or putting yourself in an opposition to your leader.
Establishing interactive tacit understanding
Interaction adds understanding
Interaction is a major way to understand leadership, and understanding leadership also highlights the importance of interaction.
The establishment of interactive tacit understanding means that you and your leaders can communicate in the language they are most familiar with, and quickly narrow the distance between them through common topics.
Interaction and understanding will make you work hard in places you don’t like or are not good at, make some changes, let your leaders see your positive attitude, and make you a better self.
Tacit understanding also needs to be cultivated
If you have strong enough communication skills to gain recognition, admiration and support from most people, no matter what kind of leader you can get along well with, no matter what kind of leader you have
Win-win is the goal
The ultimate goal of understanding the leadership is to find the greatest common divisor with the leadership and accelerate the running-in period.
Win-win thinking requires more discovery and cultivate commonalities between you and your leaders; seek commonalities while reserving differences, and pursue the maximization of common interests between you and your leaders
Win-win thinking requires learning to think from the perspective of the leader and thinking about problems
Win-win thinking requires persistence in one's own position and pursuits.
Clarify positioning: When to be a general, when to be a soldier
Play the role of "subordinate"
Put the right position and do not cross the boundary
There may be the same hobbies between leaders and subordinates, but the interests and business relationship between the two cannot be changed.
"Leader" and "Subordinate" are both roles. The two have different statuses and roles, as well as their responsibilities and obligations to fulfill.
The main responsibility of a leader is to lead and guide employees to achieve success and mobilize all positive factors to create benefits for the organization.
Not crossing the line means "not being in his position, not doing his politics", and not performing leadership functions in non-leadership positions
Due to limited positions, lack of experience and insufficient abilities, employees are often relatively professional in matters where they are functioning and can act according to the situation at the execution level, but their vision is often not as broad as that of leaders and lack macro considerations.
As a subordinate employee, it is very unwise to not report to the leader, make arbitrary claims, or take a disdainful attitude towards the leader's criticism and decision-making at work.
Employees feel that their judgments are more professional, more correct and more realistic, but forget that their judgments are usually based on local considerations, while leaders focus on the development of the entire organization.
Create emotional links
Correctly understanding the leader’s intentions and achieving the goals he wants to achieve is an important way to establish emotional links and an important symbol of an excellent subordinate.
Learning to "remind" the leader at the right time is something that a responsible subordinate should do
The establishment of emotional links can help subordinates and employees better play their roles, exercise their job functions, and make the work progress more smoothly.
Distance produces beauty
Only by maintaining the right distance can the lasting and harmonious relationship be guaranteed
It is also unwise to be too far away from the leader. The principle of moderation should be followed to maintain a certain amount of flexibility between you and your leader
The red line that cannot be touched
Don't touch the privacy of your leader
Don't challenge the authority of your leader
Don't ignore respect for your leader
Obedience is the rule, and it is also wisdom
Obedience is a rule
Once the Supreme Leader makes a decision, the dispute will stop and everyone must support his decision.
Without strong obedience, the organization's goals will become useless and the implementation of organizational decisions will be difficult.
An excellent subordinate must first be a perfect executor. They must be unconditionally loyal and obedient to their leaders.
Obedience is a kind of wisdom
Don't think that "disobedience" means you can completely follow your free will
You can ignore your leader's instructions, but you cannot ignore your leader's influence on you
Obedience comes from a clear understanding of oneself and leadership
Obedience is not blind obedience
It does not mean that employees need to obey their leaders' orders, not distinguish right from wrong, blindly agree with each other, follow them all, and implement them all
Don't be a "mimosa" in the workplace
Choose to take responsibility and add to trust
It is difficult to go against the current, but it is easy to go with the flow; it is difficult to choose to take responsibility, but it is easy to choose to retreat
"Mimosa"-style employees are extremely hidden. They seem harmless, but they actually have great harm.
Choosing to take responsibility means challenging one's own laziness, pleasure, and security
At the same time, it also means that you may face failure, cannot get corresponding returns, and may even be misunderstood by your leader
But choosing to take responsibility also means embracing more opportunities to show yourself and improve yourself
Proactively shine and improve visibility in the workplace
On the road to failure, there are missed opportunities everywhere
Refusing to actively show yourself, leaders often have no way of knowing how capable you have
For leaders, the greatest support from subordinates is to assist him in doing his job well
Proactive shining does not mean that everything is in the limelight, but rather that you say goodbye to the retreating thinking of "mimosa" and give full play to your strengths in the areas you are good at.
Stand up at the right time
Stand up and share the worries of the leaders
Don't stand idly by for matters other than your job
You can also help leaders handle some peripheral work within their ability in a low-key manner
Leaders may sacrifice the interests of small groups for the interests of the organization, or may misunderstand their subordinates because they have no time to take into account details. At this time, subordinates can certainly express dissatisfaction and anger from the perspective of their employees. But a smarter way is to stand up, think about the problem from the perspective of the leader, understand the leader's intentions, and boldly explain it.
Stand up and retreat
Before stepping forward, you should understand the situation objectively and carefully
Be prepared before stepping forward
When you stand up, you should recognize your role
After standing up, you should keep a normal mind
Learn to say "no"
Don't say "no" easily
Not saying "no" easily is a manifestation of self-confidence and a positive affirmation of oneself
Not saying "no" easily is a manifestation of responsibility and a brave take on responsibility
Not saying "no" easily is a manifestation of respect and an active maintenance of leaders
Reject when it's time to refuse
When faced with serious mistakes, it is necessary to refuse the leader's instructions.
It is necessary to refuse when facing an incompetent job
When your leader often asks you to take on some trivial matters other than your job, you should also choose to refuse appropriately.
Master the art of rejection
Rejecting leadership should have a firm attitude and euphemistic language
Rejecting leadership should be sincere. earnest words and appropriate reasons can make your rejection more convincing
Rejecting leadership should choose the right time
Rejecting leadership should be taken to leave room for your attention
Strengthen mission: Loyalty is the most important quality in the workplace
Love the current work
100% passionate
It will make people in the workplace have an affirmative emotion and positive attitude towards work, consciously and voluntarily assume various work responsibilities, and regard it as "what should be done" and actively participate in the work.
Passion can be conveyed. People who are full of enthusiasm can inspire and drive more people around them, so that they can devote themselves to their work with the same enthusiasm.
Say goodbye to the "worker thinking"
True loyalty is to consciously think about problems from the perspective of the organization, combine personal value demands with organizational development demands, and treat the organization's work as your own work
Kazuo Inamori calls this kind of workplace who has strong autonomous driving force and spontaneous dedication to work "spontaneous combustion type"
Do every little thing well
Ordinary breeds extraordinary
Earth-shaking jobs are rare, and most people in the workplace have long work experiences with the ordinary.
The development of the organization is the result of the joint efforts of all positions, and every member needs to complete the work with due diligence and quality.
An ordinary position is a special test, which tests whether you can endure loneliness and seize opportunities in ordinary work
Details determine success or failure
Nothing in work is so small that it can be abandoned, and no detail is so detailed that it should be ignored.
People who disdain to do small things often don't get the opportunity to do big things
Smart people in the workplace will treat every little thing as a training for themselves, understand the organizational status, strengthen business ability, cultivate a serious attitude, expand connections, and temper their will, and learn, gain something, and grow in small things.
There are no excuses in the workplace
There are three levels of loyalty among people in the workplace: completing the process, achieving goals, and being responsible for the results.
Say goodbye to excuses, "blocking" is worse than "releasing"
Everyone has the desire to make excuses, but some people can restrain their desires, or some people have a more advanced and easier to accept
Strict environments will increase the psychological burden on employees and make it easier for them to find excuses for self-protection.
As a leader, you should create a safer and easier organizational environment. When problems occur, try to blame less or even no blame for subordinate employees, and focus on solving problems.
Don't be a "pseudo-worker"
Don't be a "working busy man"
Don't be a "good guy in the workplace"
"Thorns" are often more courageous, capable, and have the opportunity to express their positions than "good people", and can actively defend their positions and interests more actively
The emergence of "good old man" stems from fear of negative emotions such as rejection, conflict, criticism, anger, etc., and thus falls into a vicious cycle of sacrificing oneself to please others.
Inject wisdom into loyalty
Loyalty is not obedient
Many times, following the rules will create an impression of lack of opinion and poor ability for leaders.
True loyalty is no longer a sacrifice, but a win-win situation. Wisdom injects loyalty, making decisions more accurate and work completion higher, and leadership and organization become natural beneficiaries
True words must be smooth
Using appropriate speaking skills can achieve the purpose of persuasion concisely, and allow the other party to understand where he is wrong while not losing face. Through the infusion of wisdom, showing loyalty in a way that is easy for leaders to accept, it can be said that it can kill multiple goals in one fell swoop.
Practice internal skills: Strength is the best right to speak
Make yourself more valuable
Do more hard work to lay a solid foundation
The first lesson is to learn to adapt to the environment
The second lesson is to find the right direction
The third lesson is to accumulate experience
Lesson 4 is to learn to learn
Focus on breakthroughs and demonstrate value
Focus on the profession itself, emphasizing how to do your work in detail and achieve professionalism
The accumulation process of intangible resources such as industry experience, connections, channels, etc. may be silent, but quantitative accumulation will eventually lead to a qualitative leap, which will be presented in the form of "opportunities" in the later stage of the career.
Workers should not ignore the importance of interpersonal management
To win the trust of the leader
It is about being kind to others and not making enemies in the workplace
Breakthrough thinking and one step ahead
Make yourself more irreplaceable
Pay attention to related business learning
Develop management skills
Promotion requires ability and opportunity
Grasp the "key leap" from employees to leaders
There is a way to work efficiently
Grasp the key points of work
The key to distinguishing the severity and easing is to learn to think from the perspective of others, understand what the leader really wants you to do, and what results you hope your work will achieve.
Four Quadrant Rules
For "important and urgent" work
Such as crisis public relations, important meetings, major project negotiations, etc.
It cannot be avoided or delayed. It must be resolved first, otherwise it will have very serious consequences.
Accurate judgment ability and bold emergency response ability should be used to complete it immediately
For "important but not urgent" work
Such as participating in training, raising questions, handling suggestions, etc.
It seems not urgent, but it cannot be ignored
Make plans in a timely manner, break down tasks, prepare for the future, and prevent problems before they happen
For "unimportant but urgent" work
Such as phone calls, sudden visitors, etc.
Because of its urgency, it shows a strong deception, creates its very important illusion, and takes a lot of time
Try to delegate power to others
For "not important and not urgent" work
Such as daze, chatting, etc.
Very meaningful and difficult to deal with
The frequency of handling such transactions should be minimized
Guidelines
Bliss theorem
Use more time to plan ahead for a job, and the total time spent on completing the job will be reduced.
Everything needs to be created twice. The first time is brewing in the mind, and the second time is to carry out substantial creation.
Plans are created around goals, everything is result-oriented
Before making plans, every worker should clarify his work goals and the work goals of the entire organization in order to find the right position to do the right thing.
After determining the core solution strategy, the plan must be disassembled, a relatively macro strategy must be disassembled into quantifiable and evaluable small tasks, and then they must be realized step by step
When disassembling a plan, you should pay attention to meticulous thinking and rigorous logic to prevent the small tasks that are disassembled overlap or omissions from happening.
MECE Rules
First, the parts are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other
Second, all parts are completely exhausted, and the collection of all parts is the entire topic
Do only one thing at a time
Bad multiple workers
It seems that you are making full use of time and coordinating multiple transactions, but in fact it causes your efficiency to decrease and your effective output to be significantly reduced.
The occurrence of the phenomenon of bad labor will lead to increased cognitive burden and worsening of the brain state, making people more likely to make mistakes
The occurrence of the phenomenon of bad labor will interfere with normal working memory
Getting along is an ability
How to make others like you
Good popularity will undoubtedly give you a better advantage in competition, at least with fewer unnecessary obstacles
If you want others to like you, if you want others to be interested in you, one thing you need to pay attention to is to talk about things that others are interested in.
Position determines vision, vision determines thinking
People generally tend to make friends with people with strong strength. Because people with strong strength have more resources such as wealth, connections, opportunities, etc., it is obviously more rewarding to make friends with them. "Withless country has no diplomacy", and the same is true for individuals. Want to let yourself
Make communication easier
The complexity of communication is fundamentally due to the fact that everyone has their own independent consciousness and hopes that others will listen and accept their own opinions.
The lack of personal expression ability and lack of experience and knowledge will also cause obstacles to communication.
How to make communication easier
To understand your communication partner, choose the right way of conversation according to their preferences
Learn to express
You should know how to listen
Cooperation creates win-win results
Cooperation means that everyone no longer works for the benefit of the individual, but works for the benefit of the team.
In a team, each member has his own unique position and plays an irreplaceable role
Generally, a team is divided into several types of employee: participants, collaborators, communicators, and challengers.
Participants focus on the execution of specific tasks
Collaborators pay attention to the progress of the entire team's project
Communicators are good at communication and coordination among team members
Challengers are good at solving problems in team development
Many times, we will face some partners who are "difficult to cooperate", and at this time, it will be more prominent that "geting together is an important ability"
Mindset determines your position
Focus on the present and don’t worry about the future
Most workplace anxiety comes from overly high expectations of oneself. No matter fame, fortune, or position, once you fail to meet your expectations, you will inevitably fall into anger, depression, and pain.
Have a normal mind and form a correct understanding of "successful workplace people"
Have a normal mind and quit comparative psychology
Have a normal mind and learn to control emotions
The more you press, the stronger you become, the more courageous you become
Adverse quotient refers to the way people react when facing adversity, that is, the ability to face setbacks, get rid of difficulties, and surpass difficulties.
Reverse quotient includes four key points: sense of control, cause and responsibility, scope of influence, and duration.
The sense of control refers to the ability to control the surrounding environment
Causes and responsibility belong to the ability to analyze and think about the causes of adversity.
The scope of impact refers to the ability to control the negative impact of adversity to a minimum
Duration refers to the ability to control the negative effects of adversity to the shortest time
Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you
Empathy means putting oneself in the other person's perspective, putting oneself into the other person's role to understand and think about problems, establishing communication links based on understanding, and achieving full communication in a more objective and clear way.
Empathy generally includes two major aspects: cognitive empathy and emotional empathy.
Cognitive empathy means imagining yourself as another person, looking at the world from his perspective, and putting yourself in the shoes of “What would I do if I were him?” “What is his most urgent demand in this situation?
Emotional empathy is to experience the emotional state of others and be infected by the emotions of others.
Empathy is a high-load cognitive activity. Continuously investing in empathy may trigger "sympathy fatigue", create anxiety, traumatic psychology, and even evolve into long-term and chronic burnout
Excessive empathy may also cause some moral problems. Empathy may lead to partial protective behaviors, breeding dissatisfaction among other subjects other than the communication object
Therefore, while having empathy, you must also learn to control empathy and prevent the spread of empathy.
The empty cup mentality starts with "zero"
Workplace novices will ask others with an open mind, and will not be careful when doing things, and can focus on the most basic things, so that they can make full use of all the resources around them.
As the workplace experience gradually becomes richer, knowledge, wisdom and other forces make most people in the workplace lose their "rookie advantage", their thinking forms a fixed trend, their innovation ability gradually fades, they are blindly confident in themselves, even proud and complacent, and do not want to make progress
In the era of knowledge economy, knowledge iteration is accelerating. Even if a person has solid professional knowledge and rich experience in the field, but does not humbly learn new knowledge and methods, he will not be able to grasp the pulse of the development of the times and will eventually be eliminated by the tide of the times.
Take a different approach: Turn difficulties into opportunities
How to deal with difficult tasks?
Close the complaining door
Faced with difficult work, there are generally two thinking modes: rigid thinking and growth thinking.
People with rigid thinking patterns believe that a person's intelligence and ability are innate. For difficult problems, a passive defense attitude is usually adopted, resulting in the inner thoughts of "I can't do it, I won't do it" and "why me"
People with growth thinking mode are the opposite. They believe that a person's intelligence and ability can be improved by acquired efforts. For difficult problems, a positive exploration attitude is usually taken, and the idea of "I can give it a try" and "This is a good opportunity" will arise in my heart.
The process of working people overcoming difficult problems is the process of gaining growth. The more difficult the difficult work is, the more you can temper your will and improve your ability
The more difficult problems you overcome, the more experience you will have in dealing with problems, and your ability to withstand problems will become stronger and stronger.
Make rational judgments and make choices
Close the door of complaining and being brave to try, it does not mean that you are "rejecting everyone" to difficult problems
Faced with difficult problems, while establishing the belief of "trying" and not blindly rejecting, do not accept it hastily. Instead, make a choice after making rational judgments.
The first step is to make an objective judgment on oneself
Ability to handle work and to fight stress
Clarify your ability to withstand difficult tasks
Make judgments on your work goals, responsibilities and scope
Identify that the difficult work is within your own authority and responsibility, or is it an additional work
Analyze your own strengths and weaknesses
The second step is to make an objective judgment on the difficult work
Judgment on the difficulty of work
Judgment on the importance and urgency of work
The third step is to match the work with the individual and make choices
First, the work is difficult but also very important. It falls within your own responsibility and can be solved by yourself. For such difficult tasks, you should accept them without hesitation and strive to complete them well.
Second, the work is difficult but not that important, but you can solve it yourself. For such difficult tasks, you may wish to accept them if time and energy allow you
The third is an important and difficult task, but you cannot complete it alone, and you need to use the resources around you through seeking help and other means. For such difficult tasks, it is recommended to accept them, and at the same time seek help from leaders in terms of power, resources, etc., create sufficient advantages and conditions to cooperate with the completion of the work
Fourth, difficult, unimportant, and unlimited work that cannot be completed independently is recommended. This type of work takes a lot of time and effort and has little effect
Fifth, you are completely unable to complete work or have no connection with yourself. For such work, you should learn to refuse and not let yourself be thankless.
After making a decision to choose, whether you choose to "reject" or "accept", you should pay attention to the expression skills.
Accept work, do not say "full" words. You should face up to the difficulties of difficult work and the limitations of your own abilities, and express your determination to "although it is difficult, you will do your best"
When refusing to work, don’t talk about it. You should confess your shortcomings and emphasize that “work is important and it may be difficult to take on this task”
Master the rules of the circle of ability
Everyone has different abilities, but they all have boundaries, with jobs that they can and cannot be competent, and jobs that they are good at and are not good at.
For work within the circle, we should actively accept it and do our best to complete it.
Slightly beyond your circle of ability, you should choose to accept or reject according to your specific situation and the importance of your work.
Refuse jobs that are far beyond your circle of ability, and do not force them.
There are always more difficult methods
A tricky job seems clueless, but if you can grasp the root, you can actually simplify the complex and make quick decisions based on simple principles and rules.
Some jobs are tricky for you, but small things for others. Everyone has a big or small ability, and they should calmly acknowledge the limitations of their abilities and try to seek help from people around them.
What to do if your job is screwed up?
Take a deep breath and see what you messed up
Some jobs, although they are screwed up, are not that bad because they can be compensated in time.
Instead of sitting there complaining about the world and thinking about life, it is better to seize the last time and work hard to complete the work by the deadline.
Some jobs, although they are screwed up, are not that bad because they are not very important.
You might as well spend a few seconds to calm yourself down, think carefully about who this mistake will affect, admit it in time, and actively remedy it
Get yourself out of anxiety, guilt, and panic, and make rational judgments on the problems that arise
Be brave to take responsibility and proactively admit mistakes
In the mind of the leader, what is more terrifying than making mistakes is that you do not realize that the mistake is yourself. The practice of covering up the mistakes will make the leader think that you have made a mistake without knowing it, and even think that you are maliciously shirking responsibility, which will doubt your integrity
When you realize that your work has been screwed up, don’t pretend that things have not happened or shirk them away, but quickly inform the leader of the truth. This is the wisest way to restore your image
When you admit your mistakes in a timely manner and take responsibility, your leader’s criticism is only aimed at the matter of screwing up the work itself
If you don't admit your mistakes in time, when the leader finds out that you have messed up your work, he will be more obsessed with your motivation to conceal and falsely report your work, and then doubt your character.
Actively seek replenishment and rebuild trust
After screwing up the job, it is important to admit mistakes, but it is even more important to find practical solutions.
When proposing a solution, you should pay attention to giving multiple alternatives as much as possible and give the leader room for choice
You can express your tendency towards a certain plan, but you must never selectively express the information and data collected to weaken your mistakes, or guide your leaders to choose the plan you prefer.
Prepare a plan to prevent problems before they happen
Making a good plan means thinking about possible risks in advance at the beginning of the work and formulating corresponding emergency plans.
How to deal with disagreement?
Avoid erroneous consensus effects
"Looking from the horizontal, it is a peak, and the distance is different, and the height is different." No one will have a wide-angle perspective of 360 degrees, and different perspectives will create different views, and differences are inevitable
The so-called wrong consensus effect means that people usually tend to project their own opinions on others, believing that everyone should think in the same way as themselves and draw the same conclusion.
The wrong consensus effect makes most people reluctant to admit that they may make mistakes
Change angles to think deeply about different views and form a new understanding of existing differences
Express your own opinions ingeniously
Cruel expression may intensify conflicts and escalate conflicts caused by disagreement. The clever expression of one's own views is not only beneficial to the achievement of consensus, but also gains the understanding and even convincing of others.
If you want to convince others, you should start with sincerity and appreciation, not with criticism and accusation
Most of the time, disagreement in the workplace does not lie in differences in the ultimate goal, but in different views on the path of implementation.
First clarify the common purpose of "doing your work well", and even praise the plan proposed by the other party for being effective, but I also have a solution to this problem. I hope to tell it for everyone to discuss and refer to
The expression of views should be simple and clear, with prominent priorities
Another key point in dealing with disagreements is to never forget that the ultimate goal is to reach a consensus and solve problems.
Respect consensus, do what you say
As long as a good consensus is not implemented, it is enough to reset all previous efforts to zero. The conclusion of a consensus is the result of a game between the two sides that disagree.
When a consensus is reached, you just need to actively promote it according to the negotiated plan.
Should I explain if I am misunderstood?
Misunderstanding, this happens
Misunderstandings may occur due to cognitive bias
After years of research and demonstration, cognitive psychologists have confirmed that there is usually a deviation between people's subjective feelings and objective reality.
Misunderstandings may arise from attribution errors
Most of the time people tend to make internal attributions based on their words and deeds in front of them, and ignore equally important external attributions.
Misunderstandings may be caused by poor communication
The misunderstanding may also be caused by the existence of a third person trying to get in between.
Explain, or not
Some people are introverted and fragile. They dare not express their true thoughts in the face of misunderstandings. They would rather choose a silent way to suppress themselves than avoid the possibility of conflicts.
This practice of deliberately suppressing oneself in the face of misunderstandings may lead to a mentality of shrinking, cowardice, escaping, and even inducing a series of psychological diseases. For this type of people, it is better to learn to express and to clarify misunderstandings bravely than to let misunderstandings spread in their hearts
Some people are very strong inside and they believe that action is the best proof. Misunderstandings will not hurt him, and they do not bother to waste time on explaining misunderstandings, but tend to focus on improving themselves.
"The clear one is clear, and the turbid one is turbid." The resounding achievements and proof of time will eventually dissipate the misunderstanding. For this type of person, not explaining is also a good choice.
How to avoid being hurt by misunderstanding
In the face of misunderstandings, learning to calm down is a very important lesson
After the misunderstanding arises, if you choose to explain, you should pay attention to the expression skills.
Skill 1 is to "express the facts, not to vent emotions"
Emotional catharsis is not helpful for misunderstanding resolution and may arouse the other party's disgust. Only with a sincere attitude and a statement of the true situation can we achieve the goal of eliminating misunderstandings
Skill 2 is to "certify whether there is or not"
It is very difficult to prove that you have not done something. Even if you clarify the facts and state the interests, the other party often has a disagreement.
The easier way is to let the other party come up with evidence. Without evidence, the misunderstanding of catching wind and shadow will naturally disappear; if the other party gives evidence, you can also prescribe the right medicine and find a solution.
Skill 3: "Choose a good time"
To resolve misunderstandings, you should pay attention to the appropriate timing, different emotions and moods, and different levels of acceptance of explanations by the other party.
After a misunderstanding arises, if you choose not to explain, you should pay attention to using actions to prove it.
After a misunderstanding occurs, you can not explain or care, but you must find the reasons in yourself and see if your language and behavior provide soil for the breeding of misunderstandings.
What should you do if the leader has a conflict?
Stay neutral and avoid being involved in conflicts
When conflicts arise, do not make judgments based on personal feelings likes and dislikes, support one side and oppose the other side, but maintain a neutral attitude and do not intervene in conflicts between leaders.
In the face of conflicts between leaders, the wiser choice is to follow the principle of "equal distance", neither relying on the left nor on the right, and maintaining an equilibrium state.
At the same time, keep "silence" in language
Try to avoid making public statements and standing in a team
Try to balance and strive to reconcile contradictions
In most cases, conflicts between leaders do not require subordinates to resolve. As a subordinate, it is enough to just listen patiently to the leader's emotions and express opinions based on work and behave properly.
But sometimes, subordinates have the ability to reconcile conflicts between leaders. For the sake of organizational interests, they can try to balance the relationship between leaders and strive to reconcile conflicts.
Sometimes, the contradiction between leaders is principled and does not even involve specific issues. It is just that both parties have biased views on each other and dislike each other. At this time, subordinates might as well act as "confused people", vaguely deal with differences between leaders, and emphasize more consensus among leaders
Sometimes, conflicts between leaders only come from disagreements at work and there are no other disputes. In this case, subordinates can provide leaders with more comprehensive information support, so that leaders themselves can find something that is not considered well. You can also actively build a communication platform.
If you are very familiar with the leaders of both parties and are trusted by both parties, you can also take the initiative to take the task of threading needles and act as a glue between leaders
In the process of reconciling contradictions, two iron laws should be paid attention to
First, choose "soft coordination". Try to use hint, guide and emotional infection methods to ease contradictions
Second, don't expand the contradiction
Starting from work, not from people
When conflicts arise between leaders, you can judge from the affiliation relationship and which party should you obey
It is also necessary to judge the nature of the contradiction itself
Borrowing strength: Let the leader become your resource
Leadership is the best role model
Discover the power of role models
In psychology, the Pygmalion effect tells us that people will unconsciously accept the influence and hints of people they like, admire, trust and admire, and will eventually become what they yearn for.
The fundamental reason for the Pygmalion effect is that people are not clear about what they want to a large extent, but rely on the expectations of society or people they respect and trust for themselves and portray their inner needs.
Learn from leaders
The level of a position is certainly a component of luck, but it depends more on a person's ability and experience.
The reason why a leader is a leader is not that he is useless, but that he has some outstanding abilities.
Learn from leaders and strengthen global awareness
It is conducive to establishing leadership thinking, no longer limiting the work you are completing, but paying more attention to the organization's goals, development, and the position of your own work in the organization.
Open the workplace network
Turn your leader into your connection
Everyone’s connections begin with the exploration and accumulation of people around them, and then gradually expand to a larger and higher-end range.
As a member of it, the leader is directly connected to the industry you are engaged in, closely linked to your current work and future development. Even after you leave the organization, you can still play a role as an intangible asset and is one of the best candidates for network expansion.
We will meet many people, but about 20% of them are worth investing time and energy to develop them into connections. Only by constantly understanding those who can help and change you can build a high-quality network of contacts, and leadership is undoubtedly one of the important 20%
Dig into the connections behind the leader
Through the "matchmaking" of your leader, you can be lucky enough to meet the connections behind him, but there is often no trust or intimacy between these people and you, but in a weak relationship built into connections in different circles.
How to effectively utilize these weak relationships and even develop them into a strong relationship is a science
On the one hand, because you are relatively weak, you should be more proactive in maintaining this weak relationship, have the courage and strategically communicate and exchange with it, create more common topics, deeply explore the possibility of cooperation, and deepen the contact with each other.
On the other hand, touch people with sincerity. The connections established through value measurement and mutual utilization are unhealthy and difficult to sustain.
Try to turn yourself into a leader's connection
Leadership is the key to opening up the circle of contacts in the workplace, but the core of maintaining connections lies in your own value. If you are not strong enough, even if you work hard, it will be useless.
If you want to make your leader your connections for a long time, or even dig out the connections behind them, you should strive to improve your exchangeable value and turn yourself into your leader's connections.
If you want to improve your exchangeable value, you can make efforts from the two aspects of enhancing your own value and amplifying the exchangeable coefficient.
Manage upward, achieve mutual success
Helping leaders is helping yourself
Help leaders do their jobs better, and actively do their jobs that they are not good at.
Help your leader, you have established a benign complementary relationship between your superiority, the leader will trust and rely on you more, and the resources he has will naturally lean towards you.
Helping leaders is to assist leaders in making decisions
Helping leaders is to support leaders in solving problems
Smart subordinates will take the initiative to discover the leader's problems and use them as their own problems. They will try to propose multiple solutions for leaders to choose the optimal solution.
Helping leaders is to assist leaders in exercising management functions
In terms of managers, subordinates can help leaders carry out work such as conveying instructions, coordinating relationships, etc.
In terms of managing things, subordinates should take the initiative to help leaders save time. They should not only do their job well, but also provide timely feedback on the work process and present the key points of their leaders' concerns with quantitative results one by one.
Helping leaders is to help leaders find shortcomings
Mutual achievements and the establishment of harmonious relationships
A harmonious working relationship is the relationship between leaders and subordinates as a "community"
Harmonious working relationships mean understanding each other’s role positioning
A harmonious working relationship means giving each other a sense of security
Harmonious working relationships mean meeting each other's expectations
Do a good job and achieve win-win results
Do your own work
Doing your own work well means being clear about what you should do, what you will do, and what you are good at.
Doing your own work well means executing your work in place. The so-called "in place" means that the leader's satisfaction with his work has reached or even exceeded expectations.
Doing your own work well means taking the initiative to undertake more work. The so-called "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility"
Doing your own work means sticking to principles
Help leaders do their jobs
Helping leaders do their jobs means understanding leaders
Helping leaders do their jobs means being loyal to leaders
Helping leaders do their jobs means respecting leaders
Helping leaders do their job well means guiding leaders
Achieve win-win results in the workplace
Upward management is not an offensive and defensive battle between you and your leader, but a new path to achieve joint improvement between you and your leader.
Respect and communication are the basis for establishing a good relationship, and the same is true for the establishment of win-win relationships in the workplace.
Perfect communication usually includes three major links: "sending information - receiving information - feedback information".
Perfect communication promotes the establishment of mutual trust relationships and jointly promotes better and faster completion of organizational work
