Don'T Say "NO" To A Picky Boss: How To Manage A Critical Boss.

2008/7/14 11:33:00 41863

In June 2007, Zhang Sheng served as the production leader of the company's plastic production department. In December 2007, due to outstanding performance and excellent performance appraisal results, the company decided to upgrade it to the production department.

The promotion of Posts means that they are recognized by the company. Zhang Sheng is very happy. After a new job, he didn't find out how to help me. He used to arrange his schedule to the chief executive. He always made his own decisions, but now the leaders always look at the schedules carefully, and are more critical. They always put forward many opinions on the scheduling and ask Zhang Sheng to revise it several times.

In such a situation, Zhang Sheng always felt that his boss was constantly picking on his own problems and dissatisfied with himself, and then quarrelled with his superiors, resulting in tension between the two sides.


After listening carefully to what Zhang Shengshu said and asking about the situation, he helped him to analyze the fact that his boss was a perfect personality. The perfect personality wanted to do everything perfectly, hoping that he or the world would be more perfect. He would always reflect on whether he made mistakes or correct others' mistakes.

In his daily management, he always has a high demand for the production department. At the same time, he hopes his subordinates can think systematically like him, and do not allow any flaws, especially if Zhang Shenggang is promoted to the head of production department.

Zhang Sheng is a force type person who thinks he has worked very hard to do serious work. However, he seldom converse thinking and empathy. He does not care how his boss appraise himself. He holds the mindset of "axiomatic and free heart" and "no worries and no fear of knocking at the door". He thinks that he has more practical significance in arranging his work according to his past thinking, which is bound to produce many contradictions with the incumbent direct leadership.

If he does not want to be confused by his criticisms, he should only be mindless and not mind his criticism.

At the same time, we should constantly analyze the complaints and criticisms of our superiors. We should follow the example. As for unreasonable demands, we should adopt the tactics of procrastination "cold treatment" and drag them for a long time.


Based on the above analysis, I made a further analysis of Zhang Sheng, hoping to let him carry on empathy. As a subordinate, although we can not manage our superiors in daily work, we should also deal with the relationship with our superiors and have a great responsibility for the relationship between the superior and subordinate. In another way, even if we are ordinary friends, we should also try hard to deal with the relationship between our superiors.

At a small meeting, I made a survey of what is your ideal boss and subordinate. The ideal subordinate of the 80% eyes is:


1, observe discipline, work overtime, be able to stand alone, the boss's eyes can not tolerate half of the sand, the boss always hope that subordinates can comply with the discipline of the company, do not cause trouble for themselves, in peacetime work to assign tasks and work, can be completed overtime, or even second days can be seen at the desk.


2, smart head, positive work and no ambition, saying "work is not done by the East, tired and useless". Smart subordinates can understand the minds of their superiors. Therefore, any boss wants his subordinates to understand their minds well, do their work well according to their own ideas, and do not have expansive ambitions, do not threaten their positions.


3, to be loyal and fearful to the superiors, the reason why the imperial power is fearful is that the throne is high, and the Ministers must look up to the emperor, and at the same time reverence and loyalty to the emperor.

In modern management, some senior managers always keep a certain distance from subordinates, in order to make their subordinates more reverence for themselves, managers want their subordinates to always be loyal to themselves and not to sell themselves.


4, take the initiative to take risks and responsibilities. In the process of consultation, some leaders always complain to me. Their subordinates always push all kinds of difficulties and responsibilities to themselves, so that they can directly face subordinates' subordinates and act as villains.

In fact, often the direct boss wants his role to be a red face rather than a white face. Therefore, the boss always wants smart subordinates to take the initiative to shoulder all kinds of risks and responsibilities.


Understand the boss's expectations of subordinates. As a professional manager, a very important point in managing bosses is to truly understand the boss's thoughts and positions, to empathy, to stand at the angle of his superiors, and to deal with problems. When the boss's opinion is different from his own opinion, the most important thing to do is to have a clear idea of his boss's position.

Therefore, the management of the boss is a kind of workplace survival wisdom, to carry out in-depth analysis of the rules of the workplace, to constantly improve their management ability, more analysis, observation, more induction, at the same time must master the skills and means of management boss.


First, distinguish clearly the boss's personality type.


For different types of superiors, we take different countermeasures. For example, for "reading type" personality type supervisors, we should be concise and comprehensive when talking with superiors, and do not speak with great interest. It is better to report in writing, so that the boss can understand your work through data reading.

In the face of the "auditory" boss, we should not make a long and lengthy written argument. We should grasp the key points to make oral reports to our superiors.

The boss of the "perfect" personality type requires the subordinates to finish their tasks with the highest quality and meticulously. Before subordinates express their views to the boss, they should first think clearly whether they are careful in their thinking.

Even when your boss treats you with a very discerning eye, you should also be mindset. Understanding this requirement comes from its pursuit of perfection and quality and not for you. He is more critical of all his subordinates. He is too demanding for himself, including others, pure perfectionist, and highly disciplined and disciplined in his life and work.

For the "strength type" type of boss, do not be hard to contradict, pay attention to strategy, do not have a positive conflict.

The "strength type" personality type boss is used to master the surrounding working environment, always requires the upper hand in competition. He has strong intervention and strong desire to control. Therefore, there should be no positive conflict in daily work, especially in public occasions.

On the other hand, different bosses usually have different management styles. This type of personality and management style are difficult for us to change. We can only adapt to his style. In general, we should find common features with our superiors and, at the right time, aim at a more successful detail, so that you can avoid serious conflicts and increase chances for success.


Two, be loyal to your boss and feel your loyalty.


Any person wants his friends or others to be loyal to himself, and your boss is also a person. The boss wants his subordinates to be loyal to himself. He should be the center and ultimate report object in the department decision making. The department leader is responsible for his department. Therefore, he hates his subordinates to report and ask himself easily, especially when he has no knowledge of anything, and reports to his superiors, so that his work can easily be put into a passive position.


  要有效管理上司,和上司和谐相处,作为部属,首先,较好的履行自己的职守,在部门或者公司中扮演好自己的角色,要在其位谋其政,做好自己的岗位职责;其次,部属不要心比天高,欺瞒上司,使用阴谋诡计,在部门内兴风作浪,要寻求人际关系的和谐;再次,在跟上司相处的过程中,要让上司明白自己效忠于上司,尊重、理解上司,认真遵循上级的命令、听取上司的意见,能迅速、准确地完成上级交给的任务;最后,在向上司提出建议和意见时要注意场合和渠道,并且最好能提出建设性方案和解决手段,我的一位做高管的朋友经常说:我最怕部属提出意见,他们提出的公司的意见和缺点,我都知道,但是他们提出后就没有下文了,这个问题踢给我了,让我一个人去做,所以更多时候,我希望部属能提出意见的同时,能提出解决方案,甚至帮助实施。


In short, we must be loyal to our superiors and learn more about his excels, rich experience and general plans.


Three, adjust your mindset.


There are always party gatherings or friends' dinner. Everyone is always talking about how the company does not regard employees as people. The boss does not regard himself as a person.

But in turn, think of it. Now there are several people who regard their superiors as people. Many times, especially in private enterprises, because of the relatively high degree of marketization of personnel, many people, especially some sharp headed employees, often complain in front of their bosses and even quarreled on public contracts.

In fact, it is more difficult to be a boss than to be a good boss.

Because from the perspective of subordinates, always hope that the better the boss, the best ability, courage, measurement, affinity, and even humor cells, any defect will be subordinates holding a magnifying glass to see, subordinates would like to see a "God", and see a "devil", but he forgot that he looked at a "human".

Therefore, when we are getting along with our superiors, we must understand the difficulties of our superiors, understand the long live, understand the difficulties of our superiors, support your superiors in the form of friends, and do not let anything go against your superiors directly to your superiors.


Four, make excellent performance, exceed your boss's expectations.


Superiors have certain expectations for each subordinate, and sometimes they directly or indirectly present their expectations to them.

Therefore, when appropriate, subordinates must seize the opportunity to discuss their expectations with their superiors.

In fact, your boss and you are a comrade in the trenches and a strategic partnership. The accomplishment of your boss is always achieved through the achievement of your goals. When your performance is excellent, your boss's performance will also be excellent.

Therefore, in daily work, you should always make your team or your team perform well. At the same time, you should also seek ways to make your boss perform well. There are good ways or good ideas to communicate with your boss in time, turn your boss into your partner, turn your boss into your strategic partner, and he will bear the final responsibility and pay for your work performance and decisions. Therefore, we strive to make excellent performance in our work and add honor to our superiors.

When you are in harmony with your boss, the most important thing is to use excellent performance and dedication to manage your boss, and it is also the most effective way to manage your boss.


Five, at the critical moment, stand up and take the responsibility.


From childhood, we have been instilled in the belief that making mistakes means punishing, which makes many people have a fear of admitting mistakes and taking responsibilities.

In some enterprises, as long as there are errors or major accidents, the responsible person is punished from top to bottom.

Based on this kind of responsibility orientation, it is the responsibility of the responsible person that once he finds fault, he immediately thinks of pushing these responsibilities on others, looking for various reasons and excuses to justify himself, rather than seeking various improvement and solving methods to solve problems.

Many subordinates are afraid to face directly, bear responsibilities and admit their own mistakes once they have problems, and tend to push their superiors to the front line in accordance with inertia, so that their superiors are caught in the rear and the situation is awkward.

Therefore, when a subordinate is wrong, he should first admit his mistake, and put his boss's responsibility on himself. He can divide his worries for his superiors and consider his superiors. As a boss, such subordinates are very fond of their superiors and are willing to get along with them.
