Let’s look at one of my favorite characters first.
Peter, a 28-year-old engineering student, did not do the rocket research and development work after graduation, but went to this Wall Street financial institution because the salary was really attractive. After working for two and a half years, the income should be between US$300,000 and US$500,000. Sensitive to numbers, relatively strong working ability, with his own personality and persistence. When his leadership was sacked, everyone greeted him and avoided him during sensitive periods, but Peter rushed up alone to want to say something. What does he want to say?
I want to show respect to Eric, and I want to express my gratitude to the former leader. This leader is also an engineer and is more principled than him.
The guy is sensitive to numbers, curious about new things, put it on ordinary people, the leader resigned, and gave a USB flash drive for work, maybe just put it away. He cracked the task that the leader had not cracked overnight, and found that the company was about to fall into a huge disaster. At this time, he made two calls, the first one to the former leader, and found that the phone was turned off. The second one called his colleague Seth and asked his colleague to bring the new leader to the office. Why isn't the second call directly to the new leader Will?
Unfamiliar? No phone? You know, if this matter doesn't involve Seth and tell the new leader directly, it will be a chance to work independently. After watching the full play, I think he didn't think much about it at this time. The only thing he thought about was to inform the new leader in the shortest time. And usually he probably also found that Seth would come and get along well with the leader (you can tell from the back that Seth can tell the leader's income in one mouthful). At this time, letting Seth contact the leader is the most effective way. .
Honest person.
By the way, did you notice the song he listened to after work? I checked it out, it’s very nice, the song’s name is wolf.
Share the lyrics:
Mama there's wolves in the house
Mama they won't let me out
Mama they're
mating at night
Mama they won't make nice
They're pacing and glowing
bright
Their faces all snowy and white
Bury their paws in the
stone
Make for my heart as their home
They tumble and fight
And
they're beautiful
On the hilltops at night
They are
beautiful
Blazing with light
Is the whitest and the tallest and the
biggest one
She's muscled and fine
When she runs
They're tearing up
holes in the house
They're tearing their claws in the ground
They're
staring with blood in their mouths
Mama they won't let me out
They
tumble and fight
And they're beautiful
On the hilltops at night
They
are beautiful
Blazing with light
Is the whitest and the tallest and
the biggest one
All muscled and fine
When she runs
Mama there's
wolves in the house
Mama I tried to put them out
And mama I know you're
too wise
To wait till those wolves make The
first sentence of nice is that my mother has a wolf in the house, scary, right? When I heard it, I realized that the wolf was not elsewhere, but in the human heart. This guy was kind-hearted, and he strayed into the rivers and lakes, and found that there were swords, lights and shadows around him, all human beings, he was uncomfortable and uncomfortable. On the one hand, I hope that I can survive in the jungle. On the other hand, I am worried that I will gradually become a wolf. Therefore, I have special respect for those who persist in their original intentions. One is his former leader Eric and the other is a big leader. Sam,
however, people have different talents, personalities, and destiny. Peter is a group of people who survive on IQ. He discovered this characteristic of himself, and he is still considering whether to rely on EQ to eat, because it is really not easy to rely on EQ to eat.
This guy has a bit of personality, doesn't follow the leader closely, is not easy to control, has real talents and learns, and has a good working attitude. It seems that every company has such people, honest people. Once the company changes, such people are often not the first to get out.
Who were the first to get out? Opponents.
A year ago, Eric mentioned to his superiors that the company's existing business was risky. One year later, the risks were accumulating and the incident finally happened. It stands to reason that the facts have proved that he is right, and it is him who should stay the most. Why did the first knife hit him?
In my opinion, there are three reasons:
1. He is a department leader. He has worked for 19 years and has a high income. The difference between foreign and state-owned enterprises at this time is reflected.
2. He is an opponent. When the company launched the subprime loan derivatives business on a large scale and produced good profits, he put forward different opinions, which made the superiors upset. It's a pity that I realized that I was fired a year later before I realized it.
4. Although he has a high income, he doesn't like his current job and has always been skeptical. After working for 19 years, he bought a mansion in a wealthy area based on his income. However, when the leader came to find him to return to the company, he still thought about the bridge he built more than 20 years ago. He calculated that repairing the bridge saved the residents in the neighborhood by 1531 years. In other words, he believes that being an engineer is meaningful and contributes to society, and doing finance is simply a moth. It does not produce any value and instead deceives people's money into their own pockets. There is a poem that can describe his state of mind aptly: "It's not far to be lost. I feel that the present is true but the yesterday is not."
I think that when I was working at the production site, when I saw the hardworking workers, I felt very at ease in my heart, and felt that this society was supported by such a group of people. Later, when I arrived at the agency, I was very uncomfortable. I wrote various summary reports every day, wringing my brains to think about the highlights of the work, and for a while I found it meaningless. Later, I suddenly realized that if I couldn't change my state of mind, I had to change the environment. I quickly found a way to change a position and it was much better. Think about it, a person who feels that his work is meaningless all day long will certainly show it more or less externally. It is strange that such a person is not washed out in the wave of corporate layoffs.
But having said that, Eric is a very responsible person. The first sentence after learning that he was laid off was actually worried that he had done half of the work, hoping that the company could find someone to take over, so as not to hurt the company. Cause losses.
In this society, such people should be placed in the position of engineers, engineers should have a decent income, and rocket experts and bridge experts should not be allowed to go to financial companies to mess around. This year, I saw a better phenomenon. A group of futures companies that had been very floppy in the past quietly changed the group name to a "combined group of futures and cash," which meant to be combined with the spot market. After the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it was changed to "current integration", saying that the emphasis was on serving the real economy. Although it is only a formal trick, but seeing the small knowledge, it shows that this society is paying more and more attention to the real economy, especially our society. I hope that society will give the real economy more room for survival.
The second batch of people who were out came out, smart people.
Every company has such people. They are very smart and can move from a business position to a management position without taking a long time. They will look at the direction of the wind and protect themselves. They seem to have a basis in everything they do, and they all follow principles. Sara is an example. A year ago, her subordinates found her and told her that the company’s business was risky. At that time, she successfully used her emotional intelligence. She keenly felt that this was a news that no one liked to hear. It was a tricky ball. Kick out. At the same time, there will be a chance to kick this troublemaker out of the game in the future.
After racking her brains, she must have come up with a very clever way, which not only passed the facts to the big boss, but did not arouse their unhappiness. Thinking of it, there is only one way to "avoid the heavy and light" it is easy to use. In the future, if something goes wrong, you can state it openly, I told you before.
The results of it?
People who are smart will be played to death by smarter people.
She successfully made a scapegoat without even giving her a chance to refute. In the final analysis, she is a standardist on the one hand, and she always considers her own interests, and on the other hand, she wants to please the leader so that the leader feels that she and her are in the same group. How can the world have both sides? Can a leader be a leader, can you take advantage of it so easily? In fact, the leaders knew clearly that when they needed to lose their pawns to protect their commanders, they must first throw away the clever ones. This group of people seems to have been around the leader, and they are the leading celebrities. In fact, they just want to take advantage of the leader's power to be far from their own people.
In the film, there is only one person who can truly be regarded as his own with the big boss, Judd.
My own person is not the same as my own person. The most recent one must have the same frequency resonance temperament and the smell of sympathy and sympathy. Judd here knows the way. Understand the boss’s personality, understand the boss’s past, understand what the boss values, and understand everything about the boss. The reason for this understanding is essentially because he and the boss are the same type of person. I remember that the company used to spend a lot of money to ask an outside consulting company to do a survey for my original company, and found that the personality types of the leaders above the middle level of the company are highly convergent. This is not to say that all leaders cannot tolerate disagreements and are nepotism, but that people subconsciously believe in people who are more similar to themselves.
This Judd and the big boss are the same kind of people, and their first reactions when they encounter the same incident are exactly the same. Knowing that the company's assets were immediately worthless, it immediately reflected that all subprime mortgage assets would have to be sold out within a day, even if the market detonated. This kind of people rely on judgment to feed their food. They are found in every company. They are often the general manager or vice president in the company, and they implement the CEO's meaning wholeheartedly. In fact, the CEO's meaning is what they mean. As you can see, if you want to get to the highest level in the company, you can only follow one person closely, and you can't follow it with pretentiousness, you have to follow it from your heart.
There is another such person. Will
He is also a person who feeds on emotional intelligence, climbs faster, and predicts things very accurately. After 10 years in the company, he has been the leader of the risk control supervisor who has been in the company for 19 years. His ascent depends on keeping up with Sam. Look at his reaction when the big leader reveals when he talks to him that he might kick Sam out of the game and let him go at a critical moment.
did you see it? The first reaction of a high-ranking official Houlu was not to accept without principle, but to stand up to his own leadership, and I believe that he also thinks in his heart. In the face of sincerity, all the cleverness is useless. Leading the team must bring out such soldiers.
When Niu Gensheng left Yili back then, he had nothing. Hundreds of middle-level cadres were able to leave Jiasheye and start a business with him. It was not the word of trust. Influence is the ability to make people believe in you. Sam has this ability.
Finally, there is another main task that is not mentioned. Sam.
He has worked for the company for 34 years . He has worked hard and has great influence. His greatest ability is the ability to motivate employees. The employees believe in him, and the reason they believe in him is because he speaks his words, and he has always been like this. Even when the company is in danger of collapse, he still chooses to tell employees the truth. His influence is even greater than that of superior leaders. It can be seen that influence and official position are not exactly the same. It stands to reason that he is also an opponent, and he should also be kicked out at a critical moment. He often confronts the leader directly at the meeting, and often directly asks the leader "Really?" "Do you really understand the seriousness of the consequences?" Such a person can stay in a company's senior management position for 34 years. It was a miracle. There must be a reason.
Because it's true. He is a real person. For a dog, he can spend one thousand dollars a day to survive the dog's life. After the dog died, he went to his hometown to dig the dog in the middle of the night and burst into tears. I cried for the dog and for myself. I have been painstakingly running a business for decades and ruined my business partners. I insisted on the principle of my whole life but didn't stick to it in the end, the thread in my heart collapsed.
Seeing this, I came to a conclusion. Whether you are smart or stupid, if you don’t have the capital to feed on emotional intelligence, just be more truthful. The workplace is like a jungle, and the workplace is like a battlefield. I believe that Peter can walk his life well, and that every sincere person is in the workplace. All have a good foothold.
