Section [-] Don’t Get Into the Conflict Between Leaders

Mental Wisdom Call:

Don't waste your energy in unnecessary disputes with your boss, or you will be implicated in their mutual loss.

Skillful in control:

During the US presidential election, Kissinger made a phone call to Nixon's campaign team, expressing very clearly that he could provide valuable inside information to the Nixon camp, and Nixon's team happily accepted his proposal immediately.In this campaign, Rockefeller was also one of the candidates, but he failed, and Kissinger has always been an ally of Rockefeller.

At the same time, Kissinger also expressed his willingness to the Democratic nominee, Humphrey, who asked him to provide inside information from Nixon so that he could compete with Nixon.Kissinger also revealed everything about Nixon.

People may think that Kissinger is a double-faced politician. In fact, Kissinger's goal is to obtain the position of Secretary of State, and all means are focused on this.Both Nixon and Humphrey agreed to give him the seat, so no matter who wins, Kissinger will profit from it and get the seat he wants.

The final winner was Nixon, and Kissinger naturally became the Secretary of State as he wished, but he still carefully kept a certain distance from Nixon.Therefore, when Ford came to power, those who were very close to Nixon were forced to step down, but Kissinger continued to be an official of Ford.It was precisely because he kept a proper distance from Nixon that he survived the disaster and continued to dominate the turbulent years.

As a subordinate, if you want to survive and develop in the unit, you must have a good relationship with every member of the leadership group.How to get along with conflicting bosses?The following two points are worth noting:

1. To achieve "isometric diplomacy"

"Isometric diplomacy" means that no matter in work or in life, you are roughly equidistant from all superiors, and most of them are in a balanced state of relationship.It is actually not difficult to do this, as long as you can do it according to the following requirements.

In order to achieve isometric diplomacy, you must first put your mind in the right place and try to build a good relationship with superiors of different levels and styles.

Treat each leader with the same respect, friendliness, neither humbleness nor overbearing.Be good at controlling your own emotional state, don't use your personal likes and dislikes as the criterion for evaluating your superiors, and try to treat all superiors with courtesy.

2. Correctly handle conflicts among leaders
In general, a neutral approach is desirable.In other words, work in an equidistant way without being too close to anyone.In other words, from a purely work perspective, try to deal with your bosses as little as possible, and pay special attention not to let one of the bosses think that you are another boss.

What needs to be reminded is that you must not get caught up in the conflicts of your superiors, otherwise, you will not only waste your energy in unnecessary disputes, but also implicate yourself in the loss-losing situation.
