How to have enough ability and foresight to make yourself not just an ordinary manager, but an all-round leader is the anxiety of most employees. To achieve this transformation and sublimation in the workplace, the minimum standards need to break through four obstacles.
0 1. Don't overemphasize personal goals and try your best to protect your own interests regardless of the overall interests, which will bring serious consequences. If the goal is to become a leader, no matter who you are, first of all, don't overemphasize your goal, but establish a mutually committed relationship with others or the whole team to further support each other in technology and resources and promote success.
True leadership is that your presence can make others behave better, and your influence can continue while you are away. Doesn't this mean that leaders are selfless and leaders have personal goals? Establish an image, get professional recognition, and make your own career plan.
Too much emphasis on personal goals is a sense of self-protection rooted in our genes, which is why safety issues are always the most concerned. However, all those who have broken through this obstacle have found ways to suppress their consciousness, so they find themselves with unexpected great energy and are one step closer to the position of leader.
02. Don't take your public image more seriously than the leader. It is important to maintain your public image and personnel, but you must not be too persistent. It is practical to sum up the extremes. Therefore, my suggestion is: at an appropriate time, change the mode of thinking and relax your mind. We should not interfere with normal worldly wisdom and management thinking because of some persistent mentality.
It is no problem for a manager to pay attention to his public image and maintain his personal design. But being too persistent will be counterproductive. Regardless of the occasion, regardless of the feelings of the leaders, let the leaders in charge and the leaders in the Ministry have a sense of humiliation. Although it showed their wisdom and management methods, it backfired in the end.
This is a common obstacle, which is caused by excessive interference with one's ideal image. It takes a lot of energy to maintain your ideal image, so the energy to deal with problems in real work is limited, and other factors will be ignored. Once a manager determines his image and is determined to maintain it, his work efficiency will be affected.
03. Don't fight alone. At any time, team fighting is stronger than fighting alone, which is beyond doubt. Almost all outstanding leaders have a strong team to provide them with insightful and problem-related background materials. This should be two old sayings of China: a pair of chopsticks is gently broken, and ten pairs of chopsticks are firmly held together; Two heads are better than one. If we can gather three Zhuge Liang, we will get twice the result with half the effort.
Team members can be family, colleagues, friends, mentors, spouses and partners. Find people who believe that you have the will and ability to be a leader, and build close relationships with them. Adhere to a leisure gathering with team members, friends and family once a month or at an appropriate time, so that everyone can communicate with each other, tell their own difficulties, and then brainstorm and solve problems together. This is a shortcut from that manage to the leader.
04. Don't wait passively for opportunities 1994. Zhang Xiaolong graduated from the Department of Telecommunications of Huazhong University of Science and Technology with a master's degree, went to Guangzhou to work, engaged in coding software development, and developed a software called? Foxmail？ Email client. In March 2005, Tencent acquired Foxmail. Zhang Xiaolong, the founder of Foxmail, and more than 20 members of his R&D team soon entered Tencent.
In April 2005, Tencent Guangzhou Research Institute (later renamed Guangzhou R&D Department, referred to as? Yan Guang? ) was established, mainly responsible for the research and development and operation of mail-related businesses. After three years of polishing, QQ mailbox has been welcomed by users because of its simplicity, ease of use, safety and stability, and became the mailbox product with the largest number of users in China in March 2008.
In this series of processes, Zhang Xiaolong experienced the role transformation from programmer to product manager, and then to manager. One night, while watching Kik software, he had an idea: there will be a new IM on the mobile Internet in the future, and this new IM is likely to pose a great threat to QQ.
After thinking for 2 hours, he wrote an email to Ma, CEO of Tencent, suggesting that Tencent do it. The email was quickly answered, and Ma agreed to this suggestion and decided that the Guangzhou department would undertake the development of this project. Zhang Xiaolong was creative and took the initiative to give suggestions to company leaders, which led to the huge scale of WeChat now. This move also made Zhang Xiaolong a senior vice president of Tencent with an annual salary of more than 200 million yuan.
It is the best choice for mature and intelligent professionals to make use of their own advantages and actively seek and seize opportunities. While doing a good job, we must let leaders and colleagues discover their abilities and advantages, and we must not just keep our heads down and forget to look up at the sky.
Exchange work experience and experience with your own leaders, put forward your own unique opinions, and let yourself be displayed. If you don't show your ability, why should you trust you and promote you when you have the opportunity to lead?
Just like avoiding risks, patience can help us find the root of the problem and help us not to be punished by the traffic police when driving. However, this idea of working hard all the time, passively waiting for others to discover the fruits of our efforts and then giving us the rewards we deserve will cause great obstacles to tapping people's potential.
05. Conclusion If you have enough ability, you should make yourself excellent enough. Talent is the premise of making yourself excellent, and breaking through these obstacles is the basis and key for a workplace person to become a leader from a manager.
Have a mentality of integrating into the collective and taking the initiative to let your talents play out in the most hopeful place. Understand and overcome these obstacles, so as to realize the role transformation of ordinary people in the workplace from managers to leaders. I wish your career life better and higher.
