The butterfly effect was proposed by meteorologist Lorenz. It is said that a butterfly in the tropical rain forest of the Amazon River Basin in South America, occasionally flapping its wings a few times, may cause a panic in Texas in the United States two weeks later. of a tornado. The reason is that the movement of the butterfly's wings causes changes in the air system around it and causes the generation of weak airflow, which in turn causes corresponding changes in the air or other systems around it, thus causing a chain reaction. In the end, unpredictable results occur. In fact, there is also a "butterfly effect" in the workplace, such as job-hopping. An inappropriate job-hopping is likely to cause the subsequent decline of the entire career development, resulting in a "butterfly effect."
Wang Lun is a manager of a car company and holds an MBA. He is highly regarded in the company and has a bright future. Just when his career was booming, he was ready to change jobs. Because he felt that he should have better development based on his own abilities. Soon, Wang Lun was favored by a company in a popular industry, and the conditions offered were quite attractive. Wang Lun did not hesitate and quickly joined the new company.
When he arrived at the new company, before the "honeymoon period" was over, Wang Lun was in trouble: the popular majors were far away from his own expertise. He originally thought it had nothing to do with it, but now he realized that it was not that simple. ; The boss had high expectations for him, a highly paid talent, and gave him "impossible tasks" several times, which Wang Lun found difficult to complete; due to poor performance, his subordinates also dismissed him because he was not as outstanding as they expected. Without respect... an originally beautiful "marriage" soon came to an end. After a major decision-making error, Wang Lun resigned sadly under pressure.
Xiangyang Career Planner believes that Wang Lun’s inappropriate job change subsequently led to a series of subsequent problems. At the beginning, he did not understand the environment of the new company and did not know what he was good at, so he blindly changed jobs. As a result, it was difficult to adapt to the new environment and new work after joining the company. He misjudged the difficulty of the work and was unable to cope with the boss's requirements. However, he also Because he didn't explain it to his boss because of his face, the boss just put heavier tasks on his head, which directly led to him making big mistakes on major projects and being forced to resign. This passive resignation is bound to have a great impact on Wang Lun's future career development and seriously affect Allen's professional confidence... And all of this was only because Wang Lun made an inappropriate job change at that time. Decision-making!
This seems to correspond to a Western proverb: If a nail is lost, a shoe is broken; if a shoe is broken, a war horse is broken; if a war horse is broken, the horse is injured. A knight; wounded a knight, lost a battle; lost a battle, lost an empire. In terms of career development, this is a typical "butterfly effect".
Career consultants believe that the "butterfly effect" in the workplace often occurs in two situations: First, facing the temptation of high salaries in popular industries, personal expertise and abilities are ignored. Do you have the ability to earn such a high salary? Can you adapt to this kind of working life? These issues may seem trivial, but many people do not consider them and only think about getting this position. However, small problems can cause fatal injuries, which is the origin of the "butterfly effect" in the workplace.
The second is to only look at the position and ignore the environment and culture of the new company. Some people only look at the position after changing jobs, but do not examine the environment and culture of the new company. Because he didn’t know the environment and culture of the new company beforehand, he felt uncertain and rashly changed jobs. In the end, it was very likely that the “ecological environment” of the new company was not conducive to the development of a person with his personality. This is also a possible butterfly effect event that we should be aware of.
