How To Work With The Boss And How To Get Along With Subordinates

　　 Small and medium-sized private enterprises It is an indisputable fact that it has become an important force in the current economic development. With the continuous improvement of the market economy system, such enterprises will increasingly participate in the market competition. Professional managers will no longer only face foreign enterprises, joint ventures or other large and medium-sized enterprises. More opportunities and challenges will come from these rapidly developing small and medium-sized private enterprises.

This is because:

First, the need for the development of small and medium-sized private enterprises has forced the bosses of these private enterprises to transfer or partially transfer the daily work of business management to managers after experiencing the entrepreneurial stage, and have to provide appropriate treatment;

Second, most of these enterprises are in the stage of development or upgrading and transformation, and everything is imperfect, which undoubtedly provides a huge space for managers to play;

Third, the business flexibility of the enterprise itself and the mentality of the enterprise boss provide more non senior managers with a stage to exercise their talents and opportunities to accumulate experience. This is an optional place for both seeking development and transition of power.

However, it must be noted that, compared with formal or established large and medium-sized enterprises, managers of small and medium-sized private enterprises often have to face more difficulties, or pay more efforts to realize their own value, which is no doubt.

Perhaps you are already or are preparing to become a manager of small and medium-sized private enterprises, so how to get along with these private enterprise bosses is a problem that must be solved first.

1、 Various private enterprise bosses

Most of the bosses of small and medium-sized private enterprises have experienced a difficult entrepreneurial stage and the hardships of hard times. They do everything by themselves. With their own courage, wisdom, ability or opportunities, they make their enterprises succeed step by step. Therefore, whether they often mention that experience or not, they are always engraved in their hearts, And thus formed their ideological basis and behavioral characteristics: keen, resolute, fearless, thrifty, self-confident; Stubborn, suspicious, informal, irritable, changeable, capricious

Different accomplishments and experiences lead to different ways of thinking and behavior. The attitude towards managers often shows the following situations:

——According to personal mood, moody. When you are in a good mood, you can talk widely, from the international situation and the future of the enterprise to dressing, eating, leisure and entertainment, and even make promises and wishes, and then act as if nothing happened.

——Doubt. On the one hand, we constantly encourage you to open your hands and manage boldly. On the other hand, we seldom make a positive statement about every plan, decision and plan of you, or try every means to find out many problems, which makes it difficult for you to do or not to do.

——Extremely keen on new things and concepts. When you see or hear something new, you will always show great interest and be eager to accept it or implement it. When you carefully prepare to put complete and systematic things in front of him, his interest has shifted.

——I'm the boss, so I'm always right. If I think that I can never be wrong if I follow the boss's will, I am totally wrong, because everything is changing, otherwise how can I succeed? You must be responsible for it.

——Stick it to the end. Whether it is middle-level cadres or grass-roots cadres, even employees, if you have questions, ideas, or opinions, just come to me directly. I am the boss, and I make decisions for you! If there are mistakes or problems, call your supervisor! Say it after cursing.

——Create, grasp and utilize contradictions. Only when there are contradictions can they restrict and supervise each other, can there be no privacy, and can they not be hoodwinked; It is easy to lose the principle of unity and harmony. Although the work is easy to carry out, it is also more prone to problems.

——Make the best use of everything, work is your only. If there are 25 hours in a day, you'd better work for 25 hours with high salary. I can't let you idle for a moment, otherwise, you may do private things or find another job. After work - meetings, holidays - organize staff activities.

——You cannot ask for instructions in everything, but you must report everything. Ask me everything. What do you want? (Besides, I don't know what to do with some things.) Do it yourself! You are a senior leader. If you don't tell me anything, what is your intention? How can this happen?

——Loyalty comes first. Once you are unfaithful, never use it. Of course, I have my own standards. You don't have to explain anything. At present, the business is difficult. Let's reduce the salary for two months first and make up when the benefits are good. (Hum, as long as I'm willing to pay, anyone can get it.)

——Everyone is a messenger. On a whim, the manager is not around. No problem. Zhang San or Li Si: Tell XXX that this is so, so and so. In the end: Why don't you do it? Or why? {page_break}

2、 An inextricable circle

As mentioned above, these private enterprises boss Most of them have experienced a difficult entrepreneurial stage. The people who started their businesses with them were either their relatives or fellow villagers or friends, or "loyal people" who did not have much cultural knowledge and higher requirements. In the process of starting their businesses with their boss, they have become accustomed to the old management style, behavior style Every word and deed is imperceptible in their hearts; On the other hand, they are hard-working, diligent, and always receive a low salary without complaining. The boss naturally believes that they are loyal, and even they themselves believe that only they are loyal to the boss.

When an enterprise has gone through the primary management stage or is about to leave the family management mode and turn to modern management, especially the involvement of managers, new ideas and new management methods will be brought into the enterprise, and these new things will inevitably have a fierce collision with the established and traditional East and West.

From the boss's point of view, he clearly knew that in order to develop the enterprise, he must first extricate himself from the tedious daily management affairs, which was his original intention to hire managers; He not only hopes that the manager can bring new management systems and methods to his enterprise, but also does not want to go beyond the established framework and model, because he always believes confidently that his management method is the most successful.

From the perspective of employees and managers, what they hope most is that the arrival of managers can bring some changes and add some highlights to their dull and even repressed lives. Therefore, they are somewhat curious about managers; What they are not used to or even can't accept is the sudden insertion of a "third party" between the boss and them. Many straightforward things in the past seem to become complicated; What they can't accept in particular is that managers constantly introduce some management systems, constantly modify or regulate their behavior, so they start to resist, they start to reject managers, and they start to tell the boss

In the early days, most of these bosses were "magnanimous". They were observing, thinking and waiting. However, their patience was always limited. He was convinced that the people who followed their own entrepreneurship were absolutely loyal to themselves. Although their ability was limited, they were absolutely reliable. No matter how they scolded, they would not betray themselves easily, What's more, they did make great contributions to their entrepreneurship. As a result, salary cuts, snubs, pickiness, power collection... Managers have only one superior.

The boss is not reconciled. He expects to hire a better manager to help him manage the enterprise, but this is just the beginning of a new cycle. The manager came and went again, and the backbone of the boss stayed to work, get off work, work and rest as usual. As a result, the boss became more and more confident of his backbone, and became more and more trapped in this strange circle.

3、 Get out of the misunderstanding and position yourself

In working practice, some managers often fall into the wrong thinking on how to position themselves, which is the root cause of the failure to cooperate happily with private enterprise bosses for a long time.

Myth 1: The boss is always right. He is obedient to his boss. Don't dare or don't want to express their own opinions, don't dare to express their own opinions on some specious or even obviously unreasonable things, take the boss as the center, compromise and completely lose self;

Myth 2: When my boss hired me with a high salary, I should make contributions to him. Before joining the company, we only talked about the salary and remuneration, without mentioning the working conditions, and trapped ourselves in endless tedious affairs and endless work;

Myth 3: I am talented, I am omnipotent. No matter whether the task assigned by the boss is within the scope of his duties or within his ability, he unconditionally promises, or takes the initiative to ask for help, which increases the burden, and often does not flatter;

Myth 4: Rely on talent and arrogance, only concentrate on work, not pay attention to communicate , lack of affinity. The subordinates are afraid of the expertise in some aspect, while the colleagues stay away from them. They are only valued by the boss. They often think that they stand out from the crowd. Although they can create benefits for the boss, they eventually lead to failure;

Myth 5: Cultivate confidants or arrange "own people" to enter the enterprise. It seems that the work will be easier, but this is the root of the problem; There are always people watching, there are always people jealous, and soon someone will take your confidants or "own people" to cut;

Myth 6: Using personal relations and other extraordinary means to solve extraordinary problems for enterprises. It is better to solve all problems in operation and management through normal channels. You have already paid your own labor, so there is no need to involve all your relatives and friends. It will not only affect your work, but also involve them and reduce your value;

Myth 7: Get close to your boss's cronies. The boss's trust in the manager is based on personal ability, personal quality and work effect. The role of the manager can never be equal to that of his trusted followers. Keeping a necessary mystery may be more valuable. The superfluous will only mislead and bind you a little more;

Myth 8: Get involved in the boss's family affairs or personal problems. He has his own life. The less the boss's life manager knows, the better. Although he may really need you at that moment, the boss is tired enough, so don't let him have another worry.

Go out of the misunderstanding, give yourself a principle, a clear position and goal, and it is better to write it in the contract. If not, keep it in mind. Then the manager will be more relaxed, and the cooperation with the boss will be happier and longer. {page_break}

4、 Believe you are true, cheat you is true

"No business trades without fraud" is an old saying. It should refer to the know-how of doing business, which may be a little far fetched for the boss to the manager. In fact, in addition to their own ability, managers really need to pay attention to some skills when getting along with their boss.

1. Understanding and mastering the boss's personality, hobbies and expertise, and making timely use of them in the work, will definitely help to promote the work. As the saying goes, "Know yourself and your enemy, and win every battle". If you don't even know your boss, it's really a failure.

2. Every boss has his own advantages. He should learn from him modestly, which is not only to improve himself, but also to win his favor. Why not?

3. Managers often act as spokesmen for their bosses, and maintaining their internal and external image is never a loss.

4. Respect for others is a virtue, not to mention your own boss. In front of subordinates and outsiders, do not contradict him unless it is absolutely necessary or special needs.

5. The boss is also a human being and needs others' attention. If he sincerely cares about him and learns to manage him properly, he will accept it.

6. What's useful is talent, but every time he wants to use you, you are not there. What's the use? Hold the "critical moment" and rush forward bravely.

7. We should dare to take responsibility. The fault of subordinates is your fault first. Don't try to blame others; Of course, you can't shield your subordinates.

8. Although the boss likes flattery, he can't always say nice things. If he eats too much sugar, he will be sticky and greasy, let alone boring things.

9. Try to turn your opinion into the boss's opinion, and then publish and implement it. The success rate will be higher and the risk will be smaller.

10. Unless you are in a hurry, look at the boss's face before you knock on the door before asking for instructions or reporting work, you will meet with a rebuke in seven or eight cases out of ten.

11. When the boss goes out, he can give full play to his rights. It is not a last resort. Never call him on his mobile phone, especially at noon and evening.

12. Try every possible way to save every penny. You know, even when brushing my teeth, my boss was thinking about how much I would pay today.

13. Don't believe how much power the boss really gives you, especially for things that need money, you must first ask him for instructions, and it is better to write a report for his signature.

14. You'd better be there when the boss invites you to dinner, but be careful, his slap will hit you in the face immediately - there is no free lunch.

15. In addition to the boss, no matter who delivers the message to you, you should not do it immediately. Don't forget to check with the boss first. Don't be afraid of his aversion, it will be more accurate.

16. The boss is inevitably forgetful when dealing with affairs every day. Some things need to be reminded, especially about promises to people and things. But it must be remembered that such reminders should not be more than twice.

17. The wisest one is the boss. He is more sober than the manager even when he sleeps. Otherwise, why do you work for him? "It's hard to be confused" is a wise saying.

18. Learn to lose your temper. If you lose your temper in the most appropriate way at the right place and time, your boss will understand your ability and personality; Especially learn to lose temper with the boss.

19. Believe that you are true, and believe that you are also true. Grasp the principles, pay attention to one 's own moral uplift without thought of others , do a good job every day conscientiously, and have a clear conscience when receiving your own reward. Don't take everything else too seriously. This is true
