In the field of on-the-job personnel, it is normal for a very capable friend to promote anyone. He doesn't want to promote you, and you naturally don't want to promote him, but you always want to promote a person, that is, he is chosen by the above, which shows that he is more suitable than you in a certain way at present. If you are in a good state of mind, you can happily accept your friend's promotion, bless him and regard him as exceeding the overall goal, which will be the best state, because the bad influence has been eliminated.
A big reason for promotion lies in leadership. Why did the same leader choose him instead of you? You also need to consider your position in the leader's mind. You have been looking for ways to balance your mind, which shows that you are rational, that is to say, you have actively adjusted your emotions. In this case, you don't need other people's help, you just talk about yourself by asking questions. Reflect on yourself. Take this friend as the norm and reflect on your differences. If the ability and sales performance are almost the same, it is that the harmonious ability is weak, and then more efforts should be made in harmonious interpersonal communication. If it is the other way around, it is the same.
What we have to do is to find the bright spot of our friend, learn from him and improve ourselves. When you are no longer a flawed jade, then everyone just needs to wait patiently, and the person who belongs to you will always come. What leaders consider is not "present ability", but "future ability". That is, the use value this person can bring to the organization after taking office. Of course, some large enterprises have some talent evaluation tools or various competencies to prove it.
