Mini scene house:
In the process of making requests to the boss, how to see clearly his heart through questioning.

Question story session:
Xiao Hou is a financial officer of a chemical company, and he sits in an office all day dealing with numbers, which is not in line with his major.Xiaohou felt that it was boring, and it was not his interest. He wanted to change the environment and give full play to his strengths.So one morning, he aimed at the boss who was alone in the office, knocked on the door and walked in.

Seeing him coming in, the boss knew that he must have something to do, motioned him to sit down, and asked, "Xiao Hou, what's the matter?"

"Manager, I have a small request, I wonder if you will agree?"

"What request? Tell me!"

"I...I want to change the environment and want to run outside, is that okay?"

"But you are not familiar with the business, what do you want to run?" The manager looked embarrassed.

"If I am not familiar with the business, I can gradually get familiar with it. If the manager can give me this opportunity, I will cherish it and will not let you down."

Hearing Xiao Hou's words, the manager's face softened a lot, and he asked, "Which department do you want to go to specifically?"

"Do you think it is suitable for me to go to the public relations department?"

The manager frowned: "You used to do financial work, but now you are doing public relations..."

"Manager, it's like this. Some of my friends work in the media. Through their relationship, I can contribute to the company's publicity. Wouldn't it be better for the company?"

The manager thought for a while and said, "Then you should try it first, Xiao Hou, I want to see your results."

"Thank you manager for giving me this opportunity, I will do my best!"

Therefore, Xiao Hou was successfully transferred to the public relations department, and his work performance was quite good.

Wonderful question:

When a newcomer and the boss make a request, what kind of question can move his heart?

Xiao Hou is a smart person. When he wanted to transfer a department, he didn't ask the manager directly. Instead, he expressed his appeal to the manager in the tone of request and discussion.

Such a question made the other party highly respected, and it also made him feel the other party's humility and respect.More importantly, such words made him feel that the other party was discussing something with me, rather than asking for something.With this kind of psychology, the boss is more able to accept the suggestions made by the subordinates.

When the manager questioned Xiao Hou's idea of ​​switching departments, Xiao Hou said that he had a friend who worked in the media, which was beneficial to the company's work.Knowing this situation, the manager's heart changed, and he agreed to Xiaohou's request.

Just imagine, if Xiaohou hadn't mentioned the advantage of having a friend working in the media, the manager might not have agreed to his request.It can be seen that when asking the boss about the relevant situation, you must know what the other party needs and ask it in a timely manner in order to impress him.Of course, the attitude in this process is very important.

In normal work, if you want to make comments or requests to the higher-ups, you can also use such questions:
"Boss, I have an idea, can I report it to you?"

"Manager, do you have time? Can I discuss something with you?"

Start out in a gentle way, and things will be much easier after that.
