First, is leadership really mediocre? Still lack the vision to find a leader?
Many people in the workplace have probably complained like this:
Our leader's management ability is really too weak, too rigid and too inflexible, and he doesn't know how to get on well with his boss. He doesn't know how to refuse any job. Seeing XXX department leaders, the red man in the eyes of the boss, there is a department league construction every month, and wages will be deducted for a month of hard work. With such leadership, we still have to drink the northwest wind.
And you usually find that people who always say such things often don't choose to quit. They will complain about the incompetence of their leaders, but at the same time they are unwilling to work. And those who really feel that the leaders can't keep up will always leave quietly.
Why is this happening?
People in the workplace, especially ordinary employees, should always remember one sentence: whether the leader in front of you is incompetent in your eyes or not, he can sit in the position of leader, and naturally has his own outstanding ability, or his work ability, or his ability to deal with the world, or his trust in the boss; Always remember a word, anyone who can be a boss is not a fool, and has his own methodology of employing people.
Instead of always staring at what he thinks is "mediocre", it is better to dig deep into the deep roots of his leadership, such as non-family enterprises or rich second generation. Then your leader must have something extraordinary, but you just didn't find it.
The German sculptor Rodin (the author of The Thinker) once said: The world is not lacking in beauty, but in the eyes of discovery. The leader is not mediocre, you just lack the eyes to discover his ability.
Second, correct work attitude, your stay is only related to yourself.
There is a particularly interesting phenomenon in the workplace, that is, no matter how good your relationship with your leader is, as long as one day your leader does something that doesn't suit your mind, you may immediately turn your face.
Why?
In the workplace, leaders and subordinates are always antagonistic. Carnegie's book "The Weakness of Human Nature" pointed out "human nature" for us as early as the last century. Few people want to be managed, and few people want to listen to other people's opinions. The book "The Weakness of Human Nature" says: The greatest need of human beings is the extreme desire for attention.
If you don't believe me, think about it. When the leader praises you face to face, will it make you feel particularly good? In reality, not all leaders know how to use this to make their subordinates willing to work, especially the leaders of small enterprises. They prefer to show themselves and make the big boss feel extremely important, rather than making the boss feel that you are extremely important, which will inevitably lead to natural hostility between leaders and subordinates.
When hostility accumulates over time, resentment will arise. No matter whether your leader is "mediocre" or not, you will feel that he is incompetent. He asked you to do something. You think it's obvious and simple. Why doesn't he do it? No matter what he asks you to do, you will feel that he is incompetent.
This mentality arises because you think you are working for others and you are working for others. This is a very wrong working attitude. After working for more than ten years, I realized that all work is for myself, and any work you do will be fed back to you in different forms one day in the future.
Therefore, whether you go or stay, the essence is not whether the leader is mediocre, but whether the current job is useful to you. When I say useful, I mean: what can you get? You get money, experience, contacts, etc. Work is good for you as long as you can get it from it. What you have to calculate is your own gains and losses, not whether the leader is "mediocre".
Third, don't complain, learn to identify excellent leaders.
In addition to complaining, there are indeed many leaders with bad personalities, who not only have strong control, but also do not give employees any growth opportunities. The credit is his and the dirty work is ours, but it has nothing to do with whether the leader is competent or not. This is a matter of character.
In the field of human resource management, there is such a standard of employing people: those with virtue and talent are reused, those with virtue and talent are cultivated and used, and those without virtue and talent are resolutely not used. It is the same for us to choose leaders. Those who have no virtue are determined not to follow.
Then what kind of leader is an excellent leader and worth following?
In fact, there is only one thing, that is, the pattern should be large enough.
The ability of a leader may not be as strong as that of his subordinates, because the leader is not working, but training the people below how to work correctly and identifying who is doing well among this group of people who work. In this way, the following talents have the opportunity, so we must choose "people with big patterns" when choosing leaders.
What are the characteristics of people in the big picture?
1, don't haggle over every ounce, this kind of leader, big or small, will never cling to your mistakes, but will give you a chance to correct them;
2, team spirit, good leaders know that performance is not their own, but the result of teamwork, such leaders will not steal the limelight in front of the big boss;
3. A good leader knows how to give employees a moderate degree of decentralization, so that employees can innovate within a moderate range, instead of controlling employees with power. In short, the so-called inaction is such leadership.
4, do things with a sense of mission, good leaders do things with a sense of mission and principles, not to make money regardless of morality.
When you meet such a leader, you must follow.
Write at the end:
At any time, all the choices we make must be based on whether we have income or not, and we should not be influenced by all the external noises, and we should not complain about the society or the environment. Many people say "we have to", but you don't. Most of the time, it's not that you don't have a choice, but that you don't have a choice, as Uncle Benshan said:
