A Positive Mantra Of Leadership

As a team leader, your mantra is not only a symbol of its own, but also a direct influence on other people's state of mind and behavior.

In fact, mantra can also become a kind of

The word "heart is born".

If your heart is full of sunshine

"This is a good thing" -- a positive mentality of converse thinking.

Tu Wen Kai once worked as a human resource manager. Almost no one in his memory has ever seen him upset or depressed.

His face was always sunny with a smile, so the tattoo became clearer and deeper, and his thin face was very vivid by smiling and smart eyes.

No matter what he is engaged in

The unit organizes collective activities. When everyone is still looking forward to the scene of sunshine, beaches and laughter, the coming rain will sweep away the fun of everyone.

But only Tu Wen Kai, but excitedly rushed to the front of everyone, announced: "this is a very good thing! Have you ever seen, or have heard of who to go surfing in the rain? Do you want to know what a special experience it is? In the hot summer, the last rain, the air will be fresher than ever.

And after the rain is clear, we may also see the rainbow.

Who would have such a perfect seaside trip? "Employees were excited by his" flickering ", and that trip with wind, rain and rainbow was often remembered by colleagues.

The boss invited Tu Wen Kai to organize an internal publication, but on the first day of publication, he received a curse.

The morale of the team is very low, and he is still saying "this is a good thing", making the subordinates laugh and cry.

His reason is: "we have attracted everyone's attention. This is the best advertisement.

Next, if we seriously sum up the views of all parties, gather these critics together and make a collective diagnosis of the periodicals, they will probably become our most loyal readers or even the authors. "

After a series of efforts, the final publication has been recognized by all aspects of the company.

"It is better to explore for new success than to struggle for past failures."

Tu Wen uses this mentality to influence colleagues and friends around him.

Today, a new book called "a good thing" has been published and is affecting more people.

Around us, there may be a few people who have such a positive mentality.

But how many people will take "this is a good thing" as a mantra? Especially when the team is in trouble, many executives will unconsciously come up with such a mantra: "what is it?"

"Add chaos..."

"If you can't get it right..."

Even if you were thinking about a strategy or having a ready mind, your emotions were passed unnoticed through your mantra - negative, helpless, angry.

We often say that subordinates are magnifying glasses for superiors.

And emotions are the same.

"Forgive me for being frank" -- reduce communication costs

As a team manager, communication is undoubtedly the most important part of daily work, and the most important cost of communication is time.

Generally speaking, the cost of a team leader's daily communication is basically half the time, and with the increase of position, the cost of communication will be even higher, and even 70% of the time is communicating with people.

But in communication, supervisors are often obsessed with some ineffective communication, and sometimes they may not realize that they are in a situation of ineffective communication.

Although many executives know the communication with their subordinates, the most important thing is to make timely feedback. But because of their different positions, the biggest obstacle to communication is staff misunderstanding or inaccurate understanding of managers' intentions.

Therefore, supervisors often talk about the phrase: "do you understand what I mean", "I mean", some executives will ask subordinates to repeat their intentions.

Yes, this is a very good way.

But for some subordinates, this is somewhat "humiliated by my intelligence quotient".

Therefore, communicating with different people in different languages is a very important skill.

Sometimes, in order to save the cost of communication, you need to express your meaning directly in an "unassuming way". It is very important to express your intentions in the shortest and clear language.

Obama, President of the United States, is very fond of the phrase "forgive me for being so frank".

And this kind of mantra can not only express the strong attitude of the boss, but also make the subordinates feel the power of your language.

Instead of repeating the gap, it is better to use such a sentence pattern to influence and clarify the behavior of subordinates at the right time.

In fact, as a team leader, it is necessary to communicate with subordinates smoothly, actively listen to the speeches of subordinates, and need to clarify and maintain their attitudes and positions, as well as the substantive results and effects after communication.

"No excuses" -- stimulating subordinates' potential

In the workplace, I am afraid no supervisor has not heard the excuses of his subordinates.

A supervisor said, "I can accept failure, but I can never accept excuses."

This almost reflects the voice of many bosses. Many executives throw their sentences without thinking when their subordinates make mistakes. It is already a popular phrase.

"No excuse", which sounds indifferent and lacking in human feelings, is considered by many executives to inspire a person's potential, especially for those performance oriented functional departments.

Moreover, if the supervisor is not talking about the mistakes made by his employees, he should be aware of the fact that this is the culture of our team.

The beforehand alarm bell is always more understandable and submissable than the one after the event. Otherwise, when people most need help and understanding, it will make people feel worse.

Of course, if the director can put this phrase with "I believe you" and other encouraging language together, the effect will be better.

The boss who loves to talk like this is also a team that is forward and passionate.

"I believe you", "I like you", "refueling" and so on are full of positive motivational mantra, will unconsciously form a good external incentive effect, thus gradually evolving and strengthening into the inner self driving force.

Only self active and positive psychological hints are the best and most effective incentives.

Let those modal words go to hell!

Many executives were ordinary employees who worked hard all the way. There was not much research on leadership and language arts.

Thus, the phrase "this", "that", "bar", "ah", "then" and so on will be inadvertently revealed.

But executives may not realize that these mantras, though not very substantive, reflect the mental state of uncertainty and self doubt in the supervisor, which will greatly reduce your leadership.

At the same time, many mantras not only make the language become wordy, but also weaken the real intention you want to express.

For example, "in fact, I mean" and "in my opinion" which is more direct and powerful? "What is your countermeasure" and "tell your countermeasure", is it different from the sentence pattern that seems almost the same? Therefore, many times, too many modal auxiliaries are not a good thing.

Minimize the use of modal particles with no meaning. Let these phrases disappear in your workplace, and make your words more powerful.

Over time, it will also help you to shape your leadership.

Beginning with a small mantra, you will be pleasantly surprised to discover the great power of small change.
