Most of us have bosses. Although we are well aware of the importance of upward management, not everyone can let the boss and his relationship develop in a healthy direction.

I didn't get any calendar. Why didn't I get it?

Chord: I don't want to hear this.

Character: boss -- American TV series "The Office" regional sales manager Michael Scott

Employee front desk Secretary Pam

Michael, a regional manager of Paper Co, is different from the boss we meet in his life. He likes to laugh, pursue office harmony and habits challenge rules, but he avoids conflict and thinks he is the best boss in the world.

What drives Michael crazy is that his sales division will merge with another branch, and he will have to face the reality of layoffs, though he regards the branch as a big family.

When the board member Jan asked Michael to lay off the work on the agenda, he said he didn't receive the Jan's schedule and asked the secretary without any reason. Pam: "really, I didn't receive it? Did we receive a fax in the morning?" unfortunately, Pam failed to understand the idea of Michael, hoping that she could help him to get rid of the situation and fight Tai Chi to avoid the implementation of the merger resolution of the board of directors. Pam innocently told the truth: "yes, the fax...

You threw it in the garbage bin! "

When the closing of the Department and layoffs' gossip were flying around the office, Michael held a staff meeting and tried to "reduce" the negative impact of rumors. At this point, Michael sent the help message to Pam again, but she said stupidly, "I attended the meeting. Jan did say that it was possible that the division was laid off."

Michael was betrayed by Pam again.

Obviously, Pam failed to read Michael's mind and understand Michael.

voice-over

It is undeniable that the boss is also an ordinary person who eats grains and grains. They also have time to make trouble and go crazy.

If you can help him or her solve problems at this time, your relationship will develop in a way that will benefit you.

But if you are the Pam with less tendons, it is recommended that you adjust your style of getting along with your boss.

Maybe you are still sticking to your parents' teachings. "Even if we hurt other people's feelings, we must be truthful and honest. It is more important than being alert." in fact, there is no pure black and white in the workplace. You have to learn to understand that "sometimes it is necessary to tell lies for work." even if you haven't learned to be tactful, you can remain silent or take responsibility on yourself. For example, when Jan investigates the fax problem, you can say: "sorry, Jan, I haven't had time to fax the Michael to..."

Of course, Pam should not be too upset, and the relationship with the boss needs to undergo "event baptism" to keep the tacit understanding and firm. Suggest that Pam, you might as well find time to chat with Michael.

Besides, Pam also needs to understand that even if you see and hear with your own eyes, because of the role (secretary), you must keep your boss and boss tight, even if your best friends or family members ask you, you will also learn to change topics or avoid them.

This is the secretary.

Professional quality

!

Words: today I am incredibly busy, and I will give you this honorable task.

Chord: boy, good luck!

Character: Boss - British TV series "The Office" regional sales manager Michael Scott

Employee - Sales Representative Jim, assistant manager Dwight

In the workplace, you will surely encounter such a boss, pushing the work that he does not want to do or hard to do to his staff. If the employee is doing well, he will enjoy success. If the employee fails, he will be the one behind him.

Let's not see that the Michael in the TV play is a Nice and a weird boss. But he still needs to make some bad decisions behind his back, and let the deep and self righteous employees step into his trap.

Based on the need to save company expenses, Jan asked Michael to choose medical insurance plans for its employees.

Michael is a boss who likes to please and please employees. Therefore, he does not want to adopt the suggestion of Jan, choose the cheapest medical insurance plan, and then face the unhappiness of employees because of the explanation plan.

Finally, he decided to kick the headache job to the sales representative Jim, and Jim kicked the thankless job to the assistant manager, Dwight.

In the play, Michael said to himself, "if Dwight fails, it will be a blow to him and a good thing for me.

He failed. I will give him another chance. What a good boss! If he succeeds, no one will be as proud as I am, because I am bole, and I have achieved him unless he fails. "

You see, Michael is so astute about his wishful thinking.

When colleagues complained about Dwight's reduction in many medical items to Michael, Michael immediately questioned: "Dwight, what did you do?" and Dwight said it was Michael's inspiration. Michael immediately said, "no, no, no, I didn't say anything, because I was too busy..."

You quickly set up the best plan for everyone! "Many bosses like Michael often use their busy schedule as an excuse to extricate themselves from their responsibilities.

If Dwight can read Michael's mind like Jim, he can understand behind the honorable task, or at the end, let all his colleagues oppose him and oppose him.

For a boss like Michael, Dwight can use this.

countermeasure

:

The next time he arranged his job, he recorded his words, or said, "I'm sorry, my boss, there's a lot of things recently, I want to write down your instructions!" so he was too embarrassed to say, "I haven't said anything."

For medical care, my personal advice is to choose three sets of medical programs according to the basic situation of employees, and to list the pros and cons of each set of programs so that Michael can choose for themselves. If Michael is still evading decision-making, OK proposes Michael to host the staff meeting to let everyone vote.

In short, employee Dwight needs to avoid personal heroism and eventually become the scapegoat and target of the boss.

Original words: all to you!

Chord: remember to report progress and request timely.

Character: Boss - British TV series "The Office" regional sales manager Michae lScott

Employee Assistant Manager Dwight

After receiving the honorable mission, Dwight worked enthusiastically, locked himself in the temporary work room, and ignored the idea and progress of communicating with boss Michael.

This makes Michael, who is extremely concerned about the progress of things, but has to hide in her office. By phone, she goes to the front desk and Secretary Pam to understand Dwight's work and staff's feelings. "Pam, how's it going? I'm calling you to care about it. How are you doing? What's the matter?"

Dwight thought that Michael had entrusted him with the choice of a medical plan. He could do his work according to his own way of thinking and his own way. In fact, most bosses were very pleasant on the surface, and their hearts were not really able to accept your "unauthorized decision".

Therefore, as a subordinate, you should learn to report and ask the boss in advance, after the event and afterwards, let him know what extent you are working at, what difficulties you encounter, and what the foreseeable results are.

To avoid the discrepancy between the results of your final submission and the boss's initial expectations, the result is misunderstanding and estrangement between you.

Generally speaking, smart employees will keep the boss in constant satisfaction. "I am working under the guidance of my boss, without the boss's decision, and where is the result of today?" so that your relationship with your boss is in the state of "you have me and I have you", and finally develop in the direction of your interests.
