How to deal with bosses and employees

Chapter 27 How to be a Competent and Good Employee - Career Development and Career (10)

[-]. How to get along with a boss whose professional skills and knowledge are far inferior to yours
A company that does well will be supported by a group of excellent talents. An excellent boss will always gather a group of professionals or even better talents than himself to work for him.At the same time, as an entrepreneur, the boss cannot do everything and everything. If he can't do it or can't do it, he will hire someone to do it. This is what the boss has to do.Therefore, any professional in a company is very likely to be better than the boss in his own professional field, which is a normal thing.So, as an employee who is stronger than his boss in terms of professional skills and professional knowledge, how should he get along with his boss?
1. Don’t belittle bosses with little expertise
No matter how capable a boss is, it is impossible to be proficient in everything, and the boss is just an investor or a manager.Therefore, it is normal for them to be inferior to the company's technical backbone personnel in terms of technology, inferior to business managers in business, and inferior to the professional standards of human resource managers in human resource management.If the boss surpasses the employees below in any aspect, it is very abnormal, because the boss cannot integrate the excellent talents that the society provides for him.When Liu Bang became emperor, he integrated Han Xin, who was better at fighting than himself, Zhang Liang, who was more resourceful than himself, and Xiao He, who was better at governing the country than himself, and made great achievements.The same is true for a good boss. He must be able to win over a group of talented people who are better than himself in professional aspects before he can make a career.In this way, from the standpoint of employees, it is possible to understand the rationality of the boss being inferior to himself in some areas.

The boss can make you work for him is his ability, he can do this is the reason why he can be the boss, that's enough, so let's not complain about the so-called boss who "knows nothing" word.Although some bosses like to mix in some things they don't understand, they may actually be learning something from you.

2. If the boss doesn’t understand, we have the responsibility to teach him

Bosses are actually the best learners. They always learn from employees with strong professional knowledge and professional ability in the process of managing the company until they make it their own.If you want to say that the boss exploits the employees, this kind of knowledge exploitation should be the most powerful.But from the standpoint of an employee, if you are a professional, you might as well pass on your professional knowledge to the boss at the right time.Firstly, it can show that your being hired by the boss is his correct choice; secondly, it will help the boss understand the correctness of your work and avoid some naive judgments of your work; thirdly, it can help the company to be more efficient and more efficient. Operate scientifically and rationally.

3. If the boss directs blindly, we are obliged to try our best to correct it
We have all heard the saying that "the wife is always right at home, and the boss is always right in the company".At first glance, male employees may feel somewhat bleak.Let's just talk about the company's affairs. Some domineering bosses also treat employees with this concept.This has made some people in the workplace learn to be good. All the bosses say no matter whether it is right or wrong. Even if they know it is a trap, they will jump into it with the boss.The existence of any company cannot escape its social nature.In other words, although the company belongs to the boss, it also belongs to everyone and the society.Every employee has the responsibility to care for it and promote its healthy and rapid development.If the boss obviously deviates from the normal track to manage and operate, as a qualified employee, he should try his best to correct it. This is the real duty.

Case Story 1:

Li Tao works in graphic design, and has been doing graphic design for two years after graduation.Recently, he came to work in an advertising company. There are only a few people in this advertising company. The boss is a couple. The husband is usually in charge of design and internal affairs of the company, and the wife is in charge of external business.They have always gotten along well and work well coordinated.However, recently, Li Tao's boss, the male boss, has gone on a business trip, and the female boss has naturally arrested both internally and externally, and the female boss doesn't understand graphic design but loves to take care of this mess, which always makes Li Tao very embarrassed , because the advertisements designed by Li Tao are always not affirmed by her, and her revisions always make Li Tao feel very vulgar, so that the opinions of the two become more and more serious. In the end, Li Tao left before the male boss came back. company.In our opinion, this case is very common. Perhaps many people in the workplace have had similar experiences, but it is a pity for both employees and bosses, because it is not a major issue. It is caused by the conflict of interest, but it is only the failure of the employees who have better professional knowledge than the boss when dealing with the relationship with the boss, which leads to the interruption of career development.

Case Story 2:

Lili majored in human resources at university, and then worked in a company for three years as a human resource manager.It can be said that Lili is a very professional talent in human resource management, because she not only has a professional education background, but also has professional management experience.It is for this reason that she was chosen by the boss of an education company and appointed as the head of the company's human resources department.Lili is also full of ambitions, and she wants to use her professional expertise to escort the company's development, but she didn't know until she arrived at the company that the company's human resources department directors have changed many times, all because the boss is not satisfied with them resigned from the job.This made Lili feel a lot of psychological pressure.Colleagues didn't seem to care much about her, so Lili had a premonition that she would leave here soon.

After officially working, Lili found out that her boss is a person with a low level of education but cares about everything. She likes to take care of everything and is rather authoritarian.Therefore, the supervisors of many departments are often criticized by their bosses, regardless of the occasion and face.As a result, the turnover of personnel will be very high, and the work of human resources will be more difficult. The job in front of Lili is not a good job.After a period of running-in, Lili has mastered the basic situation of the company and the boss's personal style.So Lili often gets in touch with her boss, and she often consciously talks to her boss about professional knowledge in administrative manpower, and even asks her boss for advice. This makes her boss very happy, although she still likes to interfere too much with Lili's work and even make a bit of a mess. , but the boss has clearly regarded Lili as the company's human resource management expert.Not only that, Lili also organizes the company's senior leaders to participate in training frequently, and the boss is no exception.She took this opportunity to train her boss on human resource management knowledge. After such training, the boss and the company's leaders learned some knowledge of human resource management, and also gained an understanding and support for Lili's work.The boss has given more and more affirmation to Lili's work. With the passage of time and the continuous increase of trust, the boss no longer takes care of Lili's work in this department, but Lili often does it beforehand. Ask for advice and report to the boss afterwards.

It can be seen that the boss will definitely be very concerned about any aspect of his company's work, but the boss is not omnipotent, so it is inevitable that laymen lead experts and laymen guide experts in the company.To deal with this problem well, the key is to see whether employees can adjust their mentality and get along with bosses whose professional knowledge and skills are not as good as their own.

Comments: When you encounter this situation, you should do a few things: First, respect the boss’s opinion, but it is best to explain clearly to the boss why you are doing things first. If you can make sense, the boss will not interfere indiscriminately .Second, the boss has limited knowledge in the professional field, so he can make up lessons for the boss through frequent communication and opportunities to hold training courses in the company, so as to narrow the professional distance.Third, if you think the boss’s guidance on the work of professionals is wrong, you should try your best to persuade the boss in a way that the boss can accept, so as not to cause losses to the company in the future. After all, the boss’s ultimate benefit is the overall benefit of the company.
