Whether it is understood from more or less historical data or from the intuitive performance in the play, Yang Xiu is a talented and intelligent person who is good at calligraphy. He is the number one scholar in Xudu, and was appointed by Cao Cao to preside over the Moon Festival. The moment he saw Cao E's stele, he could decipher the hidden meanings of the riddle inscription. He could instantly figure out the inscription "Huo" written by Cao Cao on the gate of the newly built garden. The real meaning of the words is enough to show that he is indeed quick and intelligent.
Yang Xiu has ideals and ambitions and knows how to make comprehensive judgments. During the bloody "Belt Edict" incident, he analyzed the turbulent situation and persuaded his father that those who understand current affairs are heroes, pointing out that it is Cao Cao who can bring peace to the world and save the country from fire and water; he made suggestions and tried his best to assist his immediate superiors Cao Zhi; he can accurately understand the spirit of the work meeting conveyed by the big boss Cao Cao and the infinite meaning behind it, and has a higher vision and strategy than ordinary counselors.
However, while Yang Xiu is a genius, he is also shrewd and has a strong desire for expression. He relies on his talents and knowledge, and has a family background and connections with the "four generations and three gentlemen" of the Yang family. He relies on his talents and is arrogant. He is arrogant and arrogant. He doesn't take others seriously, and his popularity is not good. In the play, the plot in which Zhong Yao's son discusses Yang Xiu with his father also proves his shortcomings from the side: When everyone in the world is in danger of great strife, he jumps out to reveal himself, fearing that the world will not know his talent, which shows his vanity. Arrogance and eagerness for quick success are the easiest ways to make enemies and sacrifices.
So for his big boss Cao Cao, while he appreciated Yang Xiu's methods, talents and ambitions, he also couldn't stand his arrogance, domineering and self-assertion, and his love for playing tricks such as "one person, one mouth" from time to time. Cute and clever tricks like "crisp" and "tasteless". It was true to use Yang Xiu's talents, but it also suppressed his room to display his ambitions. In the end, he even had to use his head to stabilize the morale of the army. Not only did Yang Xiu fail to realize his ideal, but he also lost his life.
In the real world, there are many professionals like Yang Xiu. They are not lacking in abilities and talents. They are highly savvy and quick to respond, and are highly appreciated and loved by their bosses.
A person who can be liked by the leader must be a person who can understand the leader's mind. He must also be a good subordinate who is flexible, creative and capable when encountering difficulties. They are good at understanding the living habits of their bosses. , style of doing things, way of thinking, working methods, personality hobbies, work experience, etc., and then deal with them skillfully.
On the other hand, as a subordinate, you must not forget your identity. You must always maintain a clear sense of your role and find your position, and you must not overstep your authority, make your own decisions, or act without authorization.
As the saying goes, a gentleman keeps his weapons hidden in his body and moves according to the times, but cannot show off his sharp edge. If your intelligence is deliberately shown in front of the leader, the leader will think that you are an arrogant and domineering maniac who relies on your talents, and will find it difficult to get along with you psychologically, and there will be a lack of tacit understanding between you.
When subordinates have made contributions and received praise, they must know how to attribute the credit to their leaders. From a certain perspective, receiving rewards for meritorious service may seem like an honor, but it may actually be a very dangerous thing. For some leaders who are not magnanimous enough, it is an annoying thing to be compared with others, let alone being robbed of credit by their subordinates.
If your immediate boss praises you again and again and says that today's young people are capable, then his subtext may be that he is not good enough and your ability may be a threat to him. So surpassing your boss is not necessarily a lucky thing for you.
As a subordinate, you should remember not to appear smarter than your leader at any time. Even in non-working situations, you must leave enough face for your leader so that he always occupies a dominant position. Let the leaders occupy it and keep a low profile yourself.
Most leaders always hope that they are better than others in handling all major matters, so you have to understand that as a subordinate, self-righteousness is always annoying, and it is especially easy to offend colleagues and leaders. of jealousy. Because most people don't mind being surpassed in luck, but no one (especially leaders) likes to be surpassed in intelligence and ability, and the "smartness" and "creativity" you often reveal will make you Displease others.
Therefore, you do not need to overly cover up your ordinary advantages, and you must not sensationalize your intelligence to stimulate your leader, because intelligence is a "billboard" of personality traits and the leader's biggest face, which offends it. It is tantamount to committing a "heinous crime".
Smart subordinates should not make your leader feel that you are better than him, making him feel in danger of being replaced by you at any time. If you want to give advice to a leader, you should make him feel that you are just reminding him of something he already knows but accidentally forgot, rather than something that requires your explanation to understand. If you don't grasp this degree well, you may be "re-employed".
With performance and credit, it is natural to record it in the account of the leader or boss. You must not keep it all as your own, let alone be complacent, arrogant, arrogant, and arrogant. Don't think that you can stay in the company for a long time if you have good character, strong ability, and high status. If your prestige and reputation exceed those of your leader, be careful! Even if you play a key role in the successful completion of the work, you should not take credit and be arrogant. Instead, you should see the guidance given by the leader in terms of layout and planning. Even if there is no guidance from the leader, if you can still attribute the credit to the leader, this "courteous" approach will definitely win the favor of the leader. Not only that, as subordinates, you will also receive more help and support from your leaders in future work.
As a minister, the most taboo thing is to express your own merits and be proud of your abilities. The same is true for subordinates. I believe most people understand the dangers of being too powerful to overwhelm your master. Once you have achieved merit, you must not be conceited or complacent. As a broad-minded person, you must truly understand the meaning of "being a good person before doing things", abandon the narrow consciousness of short-sightedness, short-sightedness, and carelessness, and let your realm become lofty. , this is a wealth that a person can never use up in his lifetime.
