The decision-making by the supervisor is very important. I have a better suggestion, should I mention it?

Are you an outspoken person? If you think the boss's decision is not OK?

Let me start with a true story...

The company's Allen, a graduate of the National University Institute, is very smart.

Every time the "adults" hold a meeting to discuss the direction of decision-making, most of the thinking has been solidified due to the presence of the workplace veterans who have the right to speak, and it is easy to be limited by their own experience. It's almost the same, plus everyone is so sophisticated, they always subconsciously agree with the big boss's opinion. When everyone wants to end hastily in their hearts, they will also ask Jianghu Xiaobai by the way. On the surface, they are encouraging the newcomers to speak, but secretly they are pushing the pit, or wanting to end this meaningless meeting.

However, despite not dabbling in the rivers and lakes, Allen, who is full of ideals and aspirations in his heart, initiated the speech. He has the courage of a new born calf and is not afraid of tigers. In addition, his expression is clear and well-structured, and his fresh perspective will always refresh the listeners. It's still fresh, and he can't pose a threat to the old rivers and lakes. Therefore, everyone likes him naturally, and successfully won the favor of the big boss.

After a few times like this, because the big boss asked Allen to speak at the meeting more and more often, the number of times he praised and adopted his opinions in public was also quite high. Over time, the shrewd old Jianghu also knew that Allen had become the darling of the big boss. Attitude is also more accepting. As a result, I saw that Brother Allen became more and more confident from the initial youth, and later, self-confidence turned into complacency.

Because the boss is indeed criticized for making decisions, Allen often complains in private, just because he himself has skills that everyone does not and the boss lacks, and the proposal is reasonable, and it does bring positive results. The results. Only after that, Allen became very familiar with it, sometimes directly correcting the boss's mistakes in public, or shooting the boss's way of being ineffective, but then came back with a joking attitude, and the boss is also super good-natured with a kind of doting son. Eyes, gently took everything.

Closer to home, in the workplace, if you feel that your boss's decision-making is obviously negligent, should you be brave like Allen? After all, the move also brought a new look to the company, with positive results.

Of course, if you are a person who believes in counseling and peace , and you don't want to make trouble, just say "No" and you're done. But if you are the kind of person who thinks you have ideas, doesn’t care about your heart, and is afraid of dying without a burial when you talk about it, you can refer to the following practices:

1. Make sure the person you are advising is someone who is willing to listen:

This is very important. Especially the fledgling workplace novice is the easiest to ignore. It’s good to be full of enthusiasm and want to make suggestions. The company needs to hold a meeting. It should seek the best solution and give newcomers a chance. However, you need to look around to see if this boss can speak well? And, is he a key man?

2. If item 1 is established, it is recommended to propose, but the "how" of the proposal is very important:

Equally important is the way you speak and the tone of voice. "What to say" is very important, but "how to say" is the key to deciding whether people will listen. Please, use the "sandwich" expression . If the expression is too direct, no matter how good the content is, it is meaningless for others to listen to.

Please refer to this sandwich expression :
Why is workplace communication always so tiring?

3. "Express", don't try to "persuade", give the result to the other party:

Many people think that they are great, so they express things too "reasonable", thinking that it is not strange for many people, but in the world of work, many hidden "feelings" play a role in it. What's more, don't forget that the person you want to express is your boss. No matter how unreasonable you think the other party is, he is still your superior. The point is, the person ultimately responsible for the entire outcome is the boss, not you.

Usually, there are two possibilities for feeling that the superior decision-making is bad: one is that the other party is really bad, and the other is that you don't see the whole picture. In different positions, the head must be different, because there are more pros and cons, more angles to consider, and more responsibilities to bear, and these are not understood by those who are not in charge. A good supervisor will not reject the possibility of better advice if your expression is comfortable.

I don't think it's right to have ears and no mouths in the workplace. If everyone is fine with being a cat without a mouth, then you will never improve or become stronger. However, the employee's responsibility is to express, and the supervisor's responsibility is to decide. So, as the person who makes the suggestion, as long as you express it well, please don't try to convince the other party, or feel frustrated when the other party doesn't take your suggestion at the moment. You know, if it is a positive interaction, even if the current supervisor does not adopt your suggestion, you will definitely get extra points in the supervisor's mind (I mean a good supervisor).

 Will the organization progress by doing so?
meeting.
But will your boss pay you for your progress?
uncertain.

Do you want to know what happened to Allen, who made a big noise?
In fact, the boss really likes him. He has also successfully advanced several big cases.

However, his attitude and tone became more and more exaggerated in the later period. As a result, when he sluggishly launched a new case at night, and the boss shot him uncharacteristically, instead, he used the advice of the unanimously recognized useless supervisor, and Allen finally resigned.

It is a double-edged sword to put forward different suggestions from yourself and your supervisor in the workplace. It does require a lot of prerequisites, and there is no guarantee of success. But isn't that the case? What is there to guarantee success? But the point is to keep your eyes open, think as clearly as possible in advance, and then try bravely if you judge that the environment should still be friendly.

Over time, it feels troublesome, so there will be a huge difference between the person who is a cat without a mouth, and the person who bravely executes and pays the price, and also gets the price. This is the display of different personal values, and the entire market, your company, and your boss will always recognize you.
