In the workplace, Xiao Li found that the big leader often talked to him about what was wrong with his direct leader. It made Xiao Li very embarrassed. Neither did he answer, nor did he escape. In this case, Guiguzi would advise people to understand that they should always grasp the key to the development and change of things, and prepare in advance to avoid embarrassment. In Guiguzi's original words, "That's why saints always guard their doors, examine their order, measure their power and capacity, and correct their skills."

01. In the workplace, the big leader told you that the direct leader was not good. What happened?

First of all, congratulations. Leaders in the workplace are willing to talk about this issue with you, which shows that leaders trust you and treat you as their own.  Otherwise, what are you talking to?

Secondly, congratulations. This statement in the workplace shows that leaders have attracted you and put you on the same front as him. It's just the so-called "there are people in the court who can handle affairs easily"!

In the workplace, this is a very good opportunity. However, opportunities and crises coexist. If handled improperly, opportunities may turn into crises!

02. In the workplace, big leaders tell you that direct leaders are not good. What should we do?

In the workplace, when the big leader tells you that the direct leader is not good, don't avoid the leader's words! Don't add insult to injury by saying that the direct leader is wrong, because there are so many mistakes, and you will be the scapegoat if you are unlucky.

The workplace strategy coincides with Guiguzi's strategy. In general, Guiguzi would advise workers to listen to their words. If there is something wrong with your words, ask for it instead, and it must come out... That is to say, when the leader speaks, the subordinates must pay attention to listening and understand the leader's intention before answering.

Workplace countermeasure 1: express gratitude to leaders!

"Thank you very much for your leadership. You are willing to talk with me about these things, which shows that you regard yourself as a person..." A sentence shows your determination to support the leadership.

Workplace countermeasure 2: the leader should think clearly before answering!

1) In the workplace, when a leader tells you about personal behavior problems of direct leaders

"I've probably heard about the situation from the leader. I understand that the leader is very considerate. You are worried that such behavior will affect the work of our team. You can rest assured that I will usually get to know more about the situation with my colleagues. After all, we are the same level and can speak frankly..."

In a word in the workplace, praise the leadership's overall view of the situation and sympathize with subordinates, and once again show that you are one of your own in leading the grass-roots subordinate team.

2) In the workplace, when a leader tells you about the work ideas of direct leaders

"We really need to pay attention to your work ideas. If there are deviations in your ideas, we can't find a clear direction, which will definitely affect the implementation of the work.

You can rest assured that I will usually communicate with colleagues, maintain good cooperation between colleagues, organize more activities, and maintain the cohesion of the team. If there is any idea in the team, I will report it to you in time.

For nothing else, you treat me as a brother today. I should also give you a hand in front of my colleagues. Thank you for your concern and support! “

A word in the workplace does not mean that the direct leader is not, but shows your determination to work hard and is willing to serve the big leader.

In the workplace, experts always turn crises into opportunities, and even some workplaces are found to be "potential stocks" by leaders, who intend to cultivate and promote them.

In the workplace, avoidance cannot solve problems. Guiguzi's strategy is to teach us how to become a professional expert to protect ourselves, rather than a professional good man who is afraid to escape from hiding.
