承認你無法全部做完

如果你像多數人一般,整日被許多工作壓迫著而總是做不完。事實是你沒有足夠的時間來完成所有的工作。
一旦你承認了這樣的現實,你可以轉為自主的選擇想要做哪些工作。與其坐待災難臨頭,不如自己刻意去擱置那些對你不重要的工作,而專注在一些對你密切相關的事情上。
不要每次當新工作來到你的桌上或電腦中,你就急著要去處理它。選擇那些能夠協助你達成目標的工作來做。你也要有自覺的決定哪些事是你不想做的,或是可以外包給別人做的。

Admit that you can't do it all
If you are like most people, you are oppressed by a lot of jobs all the time, but you can't finish it all the time. The fact is that you don't have enough time to complete all the work.
Once you acknowledge such a reality, you can turn to an independent choice of what you want to do. Instead of waiting for a disaster to happen, it is better to set aside your work that is not important to you and concentrate on something that is closely related to you.
Don't rush to deal with your new job every time you come to your desk or computer. Choose what you can do to help you achieve your goals. You also have to consciously decide which things you don't want to do, or you can outsource them to others.

想要工作得更愉快?抓住主導權吧

我們可以觀察到當企業老闆或是能夠當上企業主管,通常他們的人生會快樂幸福許多。確實如此,擁有自主權、影響力,以及能夠讓自我價值得以實現,這樣的情境通常可以減低許多壓力。
如果你也希望能夠工作得更愉快,嘗試去承接一個能夠改進你自己、或是你的部門、或是你的工作環境的新項目。
如果不能如此幸運成為企業老闆,或是還不是高階主管,你仍然能夠以自己的方式來安排你的工作進度,或是找到一個能夠讓你發揮專長的工作方式,讓自己感受到對項目的所有權或是參與感。這種感覺能夠增進你的工作滿意度,並且最終讓你在履歷表中多一份展現你的成就的機會。

Do you want to work more happily? Seize the dominant power
We can observe that when a business owner is able to become a business executive, their life will be much happier and happier. It is true that autonomy, influence, and self-realization can often reduce many pressures.
If you want to work more happily, try to undertake a new project that can improve yourself, or your department, or your working environment.
If you can't be so lucky to be the boss of a business, or not a senior manager, you can still arrange your work in your own way, or find a way of working with your expertise and feeling the ownership of the project or the sense of participation. This feeling can enhance your job satisfaction and ultimately give you an opportunity to show your achievements in your resume.

建立你的財務基本知識

許多經理人員都對財務數字不了解,沒有基本的財務知識。這使得他們很難參與財務相關的討論,也難作出經營策略。
你可以去參加一些企業財務課程,或是請具有財務知識的朋友指導你。公司內的財務專家會有足夠的知識與經驗來提供你所需要的知識。通常來說,你的直屬主管最能夠告訴你,你所需要的財務知識,並且向你解釋和你職務最相關的經營指標的意義。

Build your basic financial knowledge
Many managers do not understand financial figures and have no basic financial knowledge. This makes it difficult for them to participate in financial related discussions and difficult to make business strategies.
You can take part in some corporate finance courses, or ask friends who have financial knowledge to guide you. The financial experts in the company will have enough knowledge and experience to provide the knowledge you need. Generally speaking, your direct supervisor can tell you the financial knowledge you need, and explain to you the meaning of the most relevant business indicators of your job.

如何有效溝通(2)?

無論你自己如何覺得自己的語言技巧,或是認為自己言行如水晶般透明,在與人溝通時,重點是你想要說的確實被對方聽懂,並給你有意義的回應。
回想一下,你是否經常發現你所說的,對方完全誤會了?同樣的,我們在聽別人說的時候,也經常感到迷惑,不知道他究竟在說什麼。如果我們能夠深入瞭解溝通的背後並且嘗試去瞭解一個人的行為,我們會發現溝通雙方彼此的關係與互動將對是否能夠建立起有效溝通起了很大的作用。
當我們與人溝通,發現對方並沒有抓到重點,那麼這是我們自己的責任,必須調整溝通方式,直到對方弄明白。例如,當我們向客戶說明商品要漲價的理由,而客戶並沒有聽明白為什麼要漲價,這樣無效的溝通責任就在我們自己身上。因此,我們必須依據對方的回應狀況來修飾我們的溝通方式。
別人的抗拒通常是缺乏友好關係的信號
友好關係通常是建立互信與促成有效溝通的重要成分。當雙方具有友好關係,即使你不同意對方的觀點,也會使溝通順暢許多。當這樣的友好關係不存在,則人們傾向於在溝通時會吹毛求疵,或是刻意找碴。
記得我在【老闆,你是如何看待我的?】一篇中說的嗎?記住,下次你和朋友或是老闆、同事、客戶溝通,在開口前,先想到他會想著:【你為什麼要告訴我?你是如何看待我的?我在你心中究竟是什麼地位?】同樣的,客戶在回應我們時,會先暗地觀察你究竟想和他建立什麼樣的關係。如果你發現客戶有意抵制你,吹毛求疵,那麼,明顯的你們之間並沒有先建立起足夠的友好關係。若是你和客戶之間建立起了友好關係,那麼即使他不同意你的說法,這樣的友好關係也會讓你們之間刻意公開而誠懇的討論。
多一些彈性,刻意改進溝通的成功幾率
只要你多給一些彈性空間,你可以得到更多成功的機會。只要我們承認每個人都是獨特的個體,那麼我們就可以接受每個客戶都需要不同的溝通方式。用一成不變的方式來和所有客戶溝通,就像是玩彩券一般,中獎的幾率是非常非常低的。如果我們能夠接受每名客戶都有獨特的風格,並以最大的彈性來溝通,那麼我們就可以和他建立起友好關係並降低了他的抵制情緒。
你看過蒼蠅吧?它總是不斷而一再的將它的頭去撞窗玻璃!!這就是為什麼它是蒼蠅。你不能用一成不變的方式去解決溝通問題。只有當你去面對事實,做出必要的彈性調整,你才有機會創造出更多成功的機會。當你的方式行不通,嘗試改變用不同的方式,直到發生作用。
在業務拓展上,具有高彈性的思維與行為,就能夠產生令人驚歎的銷售成就!在領導管理上,你的團隊成員也是個個都有其獨特性,需要你因材施教,需要不同的領導與溝通方式。作為領導,你有愈大的彈性,就愈能夠建立良好的團隊工作關係。

How to communicate effectively (2)?
No matter how you feel your own language skills, or think that your words and deeds are crystal transparent, when communicating with people, the point is that what you want to say is really understood by the other person and gives you a meaningful response.
In retrospect, do you often find that you have completely misunderstood each other? Similarly, when we listen to others, we often feel puzzled and don't know what he is talking about. If we can understand the back of communication and try to understand the behavior of a person, we will find that the relationship and interaction between the two parties will play a great role in establishing effective communication.
When we communicate with people and find that the other side has not caught the key, then this is our own responsibility. We must adjust the way of communication until the other party understands. For example, when we explain to the customer the reason for the price rise, and the customer does not understand why the price rises, the ineffective communication responsibility is on us. Therefore, we must modify our way of communication based on the response of the other person.
Resistance is usually a sign of lack of friendship.
Friendly relations are often important components of mutual trust and effective communication. When the two sides have friendly relations, even if you do not agree with each other's views, it will make communication much smoother. When such a friendly relationship does not exist, people tend to be picky in communication or deliberate.
Remember how I look at my boss. Is it said in one piece? Remember, next time you communicate with friends or bosses, colleagues or clients, think before you speak, he will think, "why do you want to tell me? How do you think of me? What is my position in your heart? Similarly, when customers respond to us, they will first observe secretly what kind of relationship you want to build with him. If you find that customers are trying to resist you and criticize, then it is obvious that you have not established enough friendship between them. If you have established a friendly relationship with the customer, then even if he does not agree with you, such a friendly relationship will also make you deliberate and open to the open and sincere discussion.
More flexibility, deliberately improving communication success probability.
As long as you give more flexibility, you can get more chances to succeed. As long as we admit that everyone is a unique individual, then we can accept that every customer needs different ways of communication. To communicate with all customers in an unchangeable way, like winning a lottery, the chance of winning is very, very low. If we can accept each customer's unique style and communicate with the maximum flexibility, then we can establish a friendly relationship with him and reduce his boycott.
Have you seen a fly? It is constantly and repeatedly hitting its head against the windowpane! This is why it is a fly. You can't solve communication problems in an unchangeable way. Only when you face the facts and make the necessary flexibility adjustments will you have the chance to create more chances for success. When your way doesn't work, try to change it in a different way until it works.
In business development, with high flexibility of thinking and behavior, it can produce amazing sales success. In leadership management, your team members also have their own uniqueness, you need to teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and need different leadership and communication methods. As a leader, the greater flexibility you have, the better you can build a good team work relationship.

如何接受上級指派不可能達成的任務?

能夠在很短的時間內完成一項高難度的項目任務,通常帶來另一個更高的挑戰,老闆會要求你在更短的時間來達成下一個專案。如果你接受這樣不斷提升困難度的不可能任務,會讓你崩潰、失敗。
下一次,你的老闆指派另一個他認為只有你才能達到的任務,你應該請他給你幾天的時間考慮考慮。你可以用這幾天的時間,規劃一下你的項目計畫,擬定好你需要哪些人力、資源,以及預測好你可能會遇到的瓶頸。
你的計畫必須現實一些,不要假設你的團隊可以一周工作80小時。然後,將這個計畫分享給你的老闆,然後向他說明你為什麼不能如實達到這個任務的預期目標,並與他談判來獲得你需要的資源與所需要的工作時間。
將你們的協商結果寫下來,用郵件發出去,做成記錄。這是為了防範萬一他答應提供的資源不能到位,或是專案要求期限有變動時,能夠作為你防衛或是進一步協商的基礎。

How to accept the tasks assigned by superiors?

The ability to accomplish a difficult project in a very short time usually brings another higher challenge, and the boss will ask you to reach the next project in a shorter time. If you accept such an impossible task of increasing difficulty, you will collapse and fail.
Next time, your boss assigns another task that he thinks is the only thing you can achieve. You should ask him to give you a few days to think about it. You can use these days to plan your project plans, draw up the manpower and resources you need, and predict the bottlenecks that you may encounter.
Your plan must be realistic. Don't assume that your team can work 80 hours a week. Then, share the project with your boss and tell him why you can't achieve the expected goal of the task, and negotiate with him to get the resources you need and the time you need.
Write down the results of your consultations and send them out by email. This is to guard against the basis of your defense or further negotiation if the resources he promised are not in place, or when the deadline for the project is required to change.

把握好和老闆做績效評估

通常在做績效評估時,多數的老闆只會憑著他的印象來給你回饋意見。但是,你需要知道的更多,更詳細,例如究竟你的工作技能還有哪些缺點,需要如何改進?
因此,在你預備與老闆做績效評估時,先自我評估自己的優缺點。如此,在實際的績效評估時,你可以問的更精確一些,例如:“您可以說明的更明確嗎?我究竟應該具備怎樣的工作技能?或是,我應該如何做,才能滿足您或公司的要求?”
然而,一次的年終績效評估會談,實在無法讓老闆就做好教練工作。如果你還是對你聽到的回饋意見感到困惑,你可以要求和老闆再次的會談,做詳細的討論。
另外,你也要有心理準備。你的現任老闆也許不能勝任給你最佳的指導意見。你也許需要另請高明,例如詢問公司內的資深前輩或是其他部門的領導,讓他們給你客觀的評估意見。

Grasp the good and the boss for the performance evaluation
Usually, when performing performance appraisal, most bosses will only give you feedback based on his impression. But you need to know more and more details. For example, what are the shortcomings of your job skills and how to improve them?
So when you are preparing to do performance evaluation with your boss, first evaluate your strengths and weaknesses. So, in actual performance evaluation, you can ask more accurately, for example, "can you explain more clearly? What kind of job skills should I have? Or, how should I do that in order to meet your company's requirements?
However, a year-end performance appraisal interview can not really make the boss do the coaching work well. If you are confused about the feedback you hear, you can ask for another talk with your boss and do a detailed discussion.
In addition, you have to be mentally prepared. Your current employer may not be able to give you the best advice. You may need to ask for more details, such as asking senior leaders in the company or leaders of other departments, so that they can give you objective evaluation opinions.

認識你的老闆的老闆 (2)

花一些時間認識高你二層以上的高階主管,能夠讓你對你的工作有更廣闊的認識,並且有助於你的未來前程發展。但是,並非每個人必須直接去接觸老闆的老闆。
以下的作法,讓你能夠得到老闆的老闆的關注:
  1. 抓住任何可以接觸的機會。你可以分享一份有價值的文章給他,或是提出只有他才有能力回答的問題。至少,在辦公室見面時,直接打招呼。
  2. 增加你的展現機會。你可以爭取在公司全員大會,或是跨部門會議上,得到上台發言的機會。或是,整理好你的工作記錄,請你的老闆轉發給他的老闆。
  3. 獲得優良績效。讓你的內部與外部客戶都對你產生良好印象。當你獲得他們的讚揚時,轉發給你的老闆。他多半也會再轉發給他的老闆,因為你的優良表現也是對他有利的。
Know your boss's boss (2)
Take some time to know the top executives who are two or more above you, so that you can have a broader understanding of your work and contribute to your future development. But not everyone has to contact the boss's boss directly.
The following tips enable you to get the boss's boss's attention:
  1. Seize any opportunity to contact. You can share a valuable article with him or ask questions that only he can answer. At least, when you meet at the office, say hello directly.
  2. Increase your opportunity to show. You can try to get the opportunity to speak at the company plenary meeting or inter departmental meeting. Or, collate your work record, ask your boss to forward it to his boss.
  3. Get good performance. Let your internal and external customers all have a good impression on you. When you get their compliments, forward them to your boss. He will probably forward it to his boss again, because your good performance is also in his favor.

認識你的老闆的老闆

聰明的員工明白,如果她的老闆成功,好事就會跟著來:她的部門會有更好的發展機會,有機會獲得更多的資源,甚至直屬老闆獲得晉升而留下的空缺職位,等等。 
因此,你應該協助你的老闆去更明白他的老闆期待什麼,並且設法去滿足老闆的老闆的需求。 這樣的認知能夠讓你知道如何讓你的直屬老闆的工作績效更有效率,能夠讓他在他的老闆面前更閃耀發光。 
你可以説明他收集相關的資訊,幫他整理成有用的報告,讓他轉呈上去,獲得大老闆的重用。你不需要讓他說這些是你的貢獻,但是讓他得到重要的機會,對你會有好處的。

Know your boss's boss
Smart employees understand that if her boss is successful, good things will follow: her department will have better opportunities for development, opportunities to gain more resources, even the vacant positions left by the boss for promotion, and so on.
Therefore, you should help your boss understand what his boss expects and try to meet the boss's boss's needs. Such knowledge enables you to know how to make your boss's work performance more efficient and make him shine brighter in front of his boss.
You can tell him that he collects relevant information, helps him organize useful reports, so that he can turn it up and get the reuse of big boss. You don't need to let him say these are your contributions, but it's good for him to get important opportunities.

如何與愛碎碎唸的老闆相處?

碰到一個凡事愛做細微管理的老闆,隨時要告訴你事情該怎麼做,實在令人煩心。
如果你遇到這樣有控制狂的老闆,請用以下作法應付:
  1. 不要爭論。不要和他起衝突。這只會讓你的老闆更不信任你,並且會干涉更深。
  2. 了解原因。去查明,你的老闆是否面臨巨大的壓力?還是他缺乏足夠的工作或是管理技能?弄清楚是什麼原因讓他如此憂慮,然後設法對症解決他的顧慮。
  3. 讓他了解進度。愛做細微管理的主管通常很焦慮。你可以用郵件或是定期報告讓他知道你的工作進度,使他感覺一切在他的掌握中。
How do you get along with a broken-like boss?
When you meet a boss who loves to do fine management, it is really annoying to tell you what to do at any time.
If you encounter such a control freak boss, please do the following:
  1. Don't argue. Don't conflict with him. This will only make your boss more distrust and interfere.
  2. Understand the reason. To find out whether your boss is under great pressure. Or does he lack enough work or management skills? Figure out what caused him to worry so much, and then try to solve his worries.
  3. Let him know the progress. The manager who loves to do fine management is usually anxious. You can use e-mail or regular reports to let him know your progress and make him feel that everything is in his grasp.

即使是爛老闆,我也要善加運用

職場人都有這樣的經歷,遇到一位爛老闆,他不能有效帶動團隊發展。你的工作士氣受到打擊,有不時興起掛冠而去的念頭。
 在你做好準備遞出辭職前,不妨換個態度來看:即使他是爛老闆,我也要善加運用!
  1. 激發出老闆的優點。找出老闆比別人具有優勢的強點,安排讓他表現,用他的優點協助你推動工作。例如,你的老闆即使對日常性工作不專業,但是很會描繪願景,點出產業發展的前景與價值。那麼,你可以請老闆和你一起拜會客戶,讓他去激勵客戶。
  2. 傾聽並學習。許多老闆只會描繪願景,但是不知道如何建立起可執行的方案。他可能會將你的行動方案批評得一文不值。 儘管如此,請先不要激動,你可以先壓抑住你的憤慨。先傾聽他的評論。你可以從中找到一些有價值的資訊,激發出你的新靈感,改進你的行動方案。
Even if it's a bad boss, I'll do it well
People in the workplace have such experience. If they encounter a rotten boss, he can't effectively drive team development. Your work morale has been hit by the idea of going up and hanging up from time to time.
Before you are ready to deliver your resignation, you may change your attitude to see that even if he is a rotten boss, I should make good use of it.
  1. Motivates the boss. Find out the strong points that the boss has more advantages than others, arrange for him to perform, and use his advantages to help you push the work. For example, even if your boss is not professional in daily work, it will depict the vision and point out the future and value of industrial development. Well, you can ask your boss to join you and let him encourage customers.
  2. Listen and learn. Many bosses only describe their vision, but do not know how to set up an executable plan. He may criticize your action plan for nothing. Nevertheless, please don't get excited. You can suppress your indignation first. Listen to his comments first. You can find valuable information from it, stimulate your new inspiration and improve your action plan.

如何讓老闆接受你的觀點?

我最近給自己找了一位董事長來當自己的老闆。直接的利益有:可以向有智慧者學習,可以逼自己寫報告、整理思緒,可以借董事長的威望拓展公司所需要的資源,等等。
不過,既然他是老闆,避免不了有的時候彼此觀點還是會有差距,有的時候,就是會面臨如何讓老闆接受我的觀點的局面。
幾回交手下來,有了一點小心得:
  1. 先接受老闆的觀點。你不可能在未瞭解一個人的觀點前,就要求他接受你的觀點。在提出你的觀點前,先瞭解老闆平常優先關切什麼。例如,他很在乎公司如何在新事業中拿下第一個項目,那麼,你就不要試圖告訴他這個新事業的前景有多大,而直接告訴他你第一個項目是什麼,你預備如何組織與用什麼策略進行這個項目。只要你確實成功的拿下這個項目,他有了對成功模式的瞭解,自然會去弄清楚這個新事業的產業規模有多大,並開始與你談如何複製成功的模式。
  2. 用他偏好的形式做報告。想想看你的老闆喜歡如何接受資訊,他是偏好概念式的報告,還是偏好數字類的報告。用他喜歡的形式作報告。
  3. 讓他親臨現場。沒有什麼比身歷其境更有說服力了。例如,我這個老闆很想知道真正客戶的性質是如何的,我上周就帶他一起親自去拜訪客戶,他在旁邊就可以觀察到客戶的實際狀況是如何,而我又是如何銷售產品給客戶的,他從我的銷售語言與產品展示中,也更能夠明白我們產品的價值與賣點,也能夠體會一名業務員在客戶面前所面臨的困難是什麼。這次客戶拜訪一結束,老闆就拼命問我其他客戶的狀況,而我也順水推舟地全面介紹說明了公司業務的形勢。
How do you get your boss to accept your opinion?
I recently found myself a chairman to be my own boss. The direct benefits are: to learn from the wise, to compel themselves to write reports, to organize their thoughts, to expand the resources that the company needs by the prestige of the chairman, and so on.
However, since he is the boss, he can't avoid each other's point of view and there is a gap. Sometimes, he will face the situation of how to let the boss accept my point of view.
A few times hand down, there is a little bit of mind:
  1. First accept the boss's point of view. It is impossible for you to ask him to accept your views before you understand a person's point of view. Before you put forward your opinion, let's know what your boss cares about first. For example, he cares about how the company takes the first project in a new career. Then you don't try to tell him how big the prospect of the new career is, and tell him directly what your first project is and how you plan to organize and use the strategy to carry out the project. As long as you do succeed in taking this project, he has an understanding of the success model, and will naturally find out how large the new business is, and begin to talk to you about how to copy success.
  2. Make a report in the form of his preference. Think about how your boss likes information, whether he prefers conceptual reports or preference for digital reports. Make a report in the form he likes.
  3. Let him go to the scene. Nothing is more convincing than being able to experience it. For example, my boss wants to know what the nature of a real customer is, and I took him to visit a client personally last week. He could see how the client's actual situation was, and how I sold the product to the customer, and he could understand us more from my sales language and product display. The value and selling point of products can also understand the difficulties faced by a salesperson in front of customers. At the end of this customer visit, the boss asked me all the other customers' situation, and I also introduced the situation of the company in a comprehensive way.

如何向老闆報告?

能夠和一個人緊密工作可以給你看到這個人的表現。這對於你的老闆確實是如此。但是如何向你的老闆回饋,則是很挑戰的。
以下教你如何將你的想法分享給你的老闆,以及何時你應該保持沉默: 
  1. 等待或是要求准許發言。要隨意開出一長串要求老闆可以做得更好的清單。你要注意和老闆的上下層級關係。最好等他開口問你,或是問他是否可以向他報告。
  2. 聚焦在如何協助她。提供如何可以協助她解決問題的意見上,避免給她一個印象如果你是老闆會如何做。
  3. 當情況不妙時,閉上你的嘴。如果你已經感覺到老闆不會接受你的意見,或是不接受建設性的批評,你最好閉嘴。另外找一個恰當的時機來提供回饋。
How do you report to the boss?
Being able to work closely with a person can show you this person's performance. That's true of your boss. But how to give back to your boss is challenging.
Here's how to share your thoughts with your boss and when you should remain silent:
  1. Waiting for or asking for permission to speak. Don't leave a list of lists that employers can do better. You have to pay attention to the upper and lower levels of the boss. It's best if he asks you or asks if he can report to him.
  2. Focus on how to assist her. Give advice on how to help her solve problems, avoid giving her an impression if you are the boss how to do it.
  3. When the situation is not good, close your mouth. If you already feel that the boss will not accept your opinion or refuse to accept constructive criticism, you'd better shut up. Find an appropriate time to provide feedback.

在你不同意公司策略前,先問自己三個問題

沒有策略會是完美的,就像你不同意公司預備推動的策略。但是,在你表示不同意前,先問自己三個問題: 
  1.  瞭解公司策略形成的目標與背景。一個公司的策略形成通常有複雜的政治因素。不要以為你知道為什麼或是這個策略是如何發展出來的。先用你的人脈關係去查明其中的決策發展過程與決策成立的條件因素。
  2. 明確你的顧慮是什麼。問自己為什麼要反對這個策略。是因為你拒絕改變嗎?是因為你知道的更多嗎?確實弄清楚自己反對的真實理由是什麼。
  3. 先請教他人。問問你可以信任的同儕,向他們解釋你的顧慮,並聽聽他們是否有相同的顧慮,以及他們有什麼想法。他們給你的回饋,會讓你獲得有價值的觀點。
Before you disagree with the company strategy, ask yourself three questions
No strategy is perfect, just as you disagree with the company's strategy. But before you express your disagreement, ask yourself three questions.
  1. Understand the objectives and background of corporate strategy formation. The formation of a company's strategy usually involves complex political factors. Don't think you know why or how this strategy developed. First use your personal connections to identify the decision making process and the conditions of decision making.
  2. Make sure what your concerns are. Ask yourself why you want to oppose this strategy. Is it because you refuse to change? Is it because you know more? Indeed, find out the real reasons for your objection.
  3. Consult others first. Ask your trusted peers, explain your concerns to them, and hear if they share them, and what they think. The feedback they give you will give you valuable ideas.

改變你跟隨上司的態度

如果你感受到你在一家不被老闆激勵或是你容易受到挫折的公司,換個角度思考,這或許這是一家好公司。
許多人因為不適應上司的領導風格而感到不愉快。與其汲汲於脫離這樣的上司,或是換到另外一個工作崗位,不如趁這個機會深入思考一下。設法先接受你所不能改變的情境,也就是你的上司的領導風格。但是,關注在你自己能夠控制的領域,也就是你必須如何配合這個老闆。
例如,如果你的上司喜歡什麼事都親力親為,那麼就不要排拒他,反而邀請他來參與你的工作。他反正喜歡凡事都過問,那麼你可以多請教他,從中學習到他的經驗與思維形式,以及他的知識。
相反的,如果你的老闆是那種袖手旁觀型的,並且不知道應該如何激勵你。那麼,你就可以從工作本身來找樂趣,或是從一起協作的同仁身上找到可以激勵自己的形式。然後,你可以回饋給你的老闆,哪些是最能夠激勵你的。你因此可以讓他知道他可以做些什麼來提高團隊士氣。

Change your attitude with your boss
If you feel like you're in a company where you're not motivated by your boss or where you're vulnerable to setbacks, think differently, this may be a good company.
Many people are unhappy because they do not adapt to the leadership style of their superiors. Instead of pulling away from such a supervisor or switching to another job, take this opportunity to think deeply. Try to accept situations that you can't change first, that is, your boss's leadership style. But focus on the areas you can control yourself, that is, how you must cooperate with the boss.
For example, if your boss likes to do everything himself, don't reject him, but invite him to join you. He likes to ask about everything anyway, so you can ask him more about his experience and form of thinking, and his knowledge.
On the contrary, if your boss is the one who stands by and doesn't know how to motivate you. That way, you can find ways to motivate yourself from the job itself, or from your co-workers. Then, you can give back to your boss what motivates you most. You can let him know what he can do to improve team morale.

如何說服多疑的主管?

要說服一名上級主管接受一個新的構想并不容易,尤其是如果他是一名多疑者。 要克服他的猜忌,你必須調整你的風格。
以下是一些能夠影響多疑者的作法:
  1. 與一名受信任者一起報告。多疑者對於任何會挑戰他們的觀點的資訊都會持著高度的懷疑態度。如果你能夠找到一名他願意信任的人一起提出報告,可以增加他接受你的構想的成功機會。
  2. 展示你獲得的支持。你可以盡量去取得其他人對你的支持,提高你的信用度。
  3. 讓他自行判斷。多疑者通常喜歡被吹捧。你可以這樣說:“我相信你已經看過這份資料了…..”
How to persuade suspicious executives?
It is not easy to persuade a superior to accept a new idea, especially if he is a skeptic. To overcome his jealousy, you must adjust your style.
Here are some ways of influencing paranoia:
  1. Report with a trusted person. Skeptics are highly skeptical of any information that challenges their views. If you can find someone he's willing to trust to report together, you can increase his chances of accepting your idea.
  2. Show your support. You can try to get other people's support for you and improve your credibility.
  3. Let him judge for himself. Paranoia usually likes to be touted. You can say this: "I believe you have read the information. .. "

管理好多個老闆

要摸清楚一個老闆的脾氣就已經夠令人傷腦筋了,不要說如何去同時伺候多個老闆了。
請參考以下提示來管理你的多個老闆:
  1. 弄清楚你最困擾的麻煩。在同時有多名老闆指揮你時,你最大的困擾應該是工作負荷過重,以及如何周旋在他們相互衝突或不一致的指令。認清楚這些,你才能進行防範措施。
  2. 請老闆們相互溝通。無論你是要解決他們之間的衝突或不一致性,或是要降低你的工作負荷,或是要排出工作的優先次序,請你的老闆們相互溝通,安排好給你的工作進度。
  3. 保持正面態度。如果他們之間仍然協調不好,是因為形勢所然,而非你的責任。
Manage many bosses.
It's hard enough to know a boss's temper. Don't say how to serve multiple bosses at the same time.
Please refer to the following tips to manage your multiple bosses:
  1. Clarify your troubles. When you have multiple bosses directing you at the same time, your biggest worry should be overwork and how to navigate between conflicting or inconsistent instructions. If you know these things, you can take precautions.
  2. Ask the bosses to communicate with each other. Whether you're trying to resolve conflicts or inconsistencies, reduce your workload, or prioritize your work, ask your bosses to communicate with each other and schedule your work.
  3. Maintain a positive attitude. If they do not co-operate well, it is because of the situation, not your responsibility.

不要讓老闆的偏心打擊了你

許多老闆都會對某個員工有偏心,給他特別的照顧,例如安排有趣的工作指派,帶他去參加特殊的社交活動,甚至是給他特別的職位升等。
作為不是老闆偏心照顧的人,你也許會有很深的挫折,想要哀鳴。與其如此做,不如試試以下的作法:
  1. 停止抱怨。哀嚎老闆的偏心或不公平,於事無補,這不會改變什麼。
  2. 去更了解你的老闆。去邀請你的老闆和你週末一起去看看你預備去評估的餐廳。或是,你可以邀請你的老闆一起喝咖啡或一起吃中飯。這些動作不會讓你們的關係更壞。你可以趁機多了解他,也可以讓他多了解你。
  3. 顯露你自己。許多人會扭捏于表揚自己的成功,但是你不需要總是想要謙虛, 適度的讓老闆認識自己的能力,不僅可以讓自己得到表現的機會,也有助於老闆增加解決問題的機會。至少你不必總是讓那位受到偏心的人佔先
Don't let the boss's bias hit you
Many bosses favor an employee and give him special care, such as arranging interesting job assignments, taking him to special social events, even giving him a special promotion.
As someone who does not take care of your boss, you may have deep frustration and want to whine. Instead of doing so, try doing the following:
  1. Stop complaining. It is useless to whine about the boss's partiality or injustice, which will not change anything.
  2. Get to know your boss better. Invite your boss and you go to the restaurant you plan to evaluate at the weekend. Or, you can invite your boss to have coffee or lunch together. These actions will not make your relationship worse. You can learn more about him and let him know you better.
  3. Expose yourself. Many people will try to praise their success, but you don't need to be humble all the time. Moderate exposure to your boss's abilities will not only give you a chance to perform, but also help your boss increase his chances of solving problems. At least, you don't always have the eccentric person preemptive.
