01 How Anti Pua boss?
In fact, under normal operation, it is impossible for you. So don't think about Pua's boss, but think about how to manage upwards.
02How to manage upwards?
It should be noted here that the so-called upward management of the boss is not really about managing the boss, but how to use the boss better.
First of all, note that only your immediate leader is your boss, and your boss’s boss is your boss’s boss. This sentence is very convoluted, but we must remember that any cross-level arrangement must be done with the knowledge and instruction of your boss.
The next step is to implement carefully and complete the things your boss asks you to do on time. You must be trusted by the leader in the team before you can start the so-called upward management, otherwise all you do will be in vain.
The next step is how to manage. This management also includes multiple options.
a. Confirmation management
It must be confirmed to do things, and the confirmed information must be retained by mail. At the same time, ask the boss to confirm things, only choose, instead of letting the boss sort out the content for you.
b. Anticipatory management
Before doing something, you must have a complete plan, including inputs, outputs, and milestones. This allows the boss to clearly know the difficulty of the project and the input and output situation.
c, resource management
The project situation should be synchronized at least on a weekly basis, especially the early warning situation. According to the different public warning conditions, choose a suitable time to schedule a separate report with the boss, and then ask for resources. Of course, this premise is that b is doing well enough.
d, label management
This is very important, and objectively speaking, this is not what the boss does, but how the boss perceives you. Everyone is a combination of several tags, of course there may be only one. These tags will determine how the boss will make judgments when he has these related things.
e. Non-professional behavior rejection
The workplace can be humane, but the premise is the workplace, so anything that conflicts with work must not spread in the workplace, such as stocks and funds that this group often talks about. Of course, all side businesses should not be allowed to be in any workplace. People know.
After all these are done, you can manage your boss well from a normal perspective.
Others are optional, but the effect depends on the situation. For example, giving gifts at the end of the year. You must pay attention to this. Don't send anything directly related to money. What you need to let the leader know is that you always care about the leader and understand the greetings and greetings. So hometown specialties are better things.
Of course, you still have to choose what you like. This depends on the situation. Sometimes, although you can't do it yourself, you can also have other channels, but be careful not to conflict with the above e.
What should I do if I want to be a manager in the future?
This question is actually more difficult to answer because it is too big. But the premise of being a manager is how to be a person who can be recognized as a manager.
Then professionalism in the workplace is the first thing you need to do. You can search for some information or buy books to read about professional things in the workplace. Because I haven't read similar books, I don't recommend it. But similar to how to be a qualified professional, newcomers in the workplace should pay attention to what may be helpful.
Generally speaking, it is necessary to be a reliable person first. This is actually quite difficult. Some people are born with very good habits and make others feel reliable, such as being punctual, knowing how to do things and knowing how to do things, and early warning.
Then there is the improvement of professional ability. This is the most important prerequisite for becoming a group leader, especially in organizations that are not too small.
There is also good communication and project management skills. These abilities do not have to be done as a manager, but in every detail of your work. Whether there are good daily and weekly reports, whether there are good meeting minutes and pre-meeting topics preparation. When communicating with others, have you been prepared and made as comprehensive a pre-confirmation as possible.
So how to learn to be a manager, you can go to find management courses, I have heard both are very good. But these are not your first steps to learn.
04 Is okr better than kpi?
It must be remembered that for people in the workplace, all things are relatively better than uncertainty. The advantages and disadvantages of okr and kpi are not discussed here, only for executives in the workplace.
The core of okr is to develop okr that can mobilize the enthusiasm of employees. Then if you read a lot of books, you will find that some companies in the so-called kr say that it is better to have a normal completion degree of about 50, and all say that it is better to have a completion degree of about 70. So the question is, how much is appropriate? What is normal completion? Of course, if it is 100, it is definitely not good. (Why is this bad? You can learn more about okr.)
The above core will find that your life and death are completely in the hands of your leader. And you have no way to resist. If you are not doing well, then it must be bad. If you are doing well, it can be said that your kr formulation is not good, and your okr knowledge is not enough. This also proves that you do not know yourself well and are lazy. , So deliberately set goals that are easy to accomplish. Therefore, okr will have different effects in the hands of different people, but the most important thing is that it is completely governed by man.
So Kpi, in fact, up to now, the biggest disadvantage of Kpi to the enterprise is that it allows the executive to only look at the immediate benefits and ignore the long-term benefits. In fact, this is only the result of a superficial understanding of the theory. Kpi has the same disadvantages as okr.
But why I say kpi is relatively better, because you can directly see the conscience of the company and managers, rather than waiting until the results of okr's kr.
05 Does the newcomer have little experience and can only do basic work?
The experience and business knowledge of newcomers is not as good as that of old employees. Can old employees make solutions better, and newcomers can only do dirty work?
First of all, there must be a very clear understanding, that is, newcomers are representative. You have no work experience and you do not know enough about the business. So the company gave you money, should you do something? Study with the company's salary? Do you feel a little sorry for the company?
Then your mentor can make you worthy of your salary even when you don't know anything, and you can still have a certain improvement in the process of doing things. Is it already very special?
If your cognition can change, congratulations, you have entered the advanced stage of newcomers starting today. If not, your newcomer road will be very bumpy.
Next, let’s talk about the newcomer’s progression.
I really hate that kind of saying, I also came here before, so what's the problem with you doing this? I have to do this if you do this? Are you my ceiling? These are bullshits.
First of all, you need to be a reliable person. Other answers have also said that this is very important.
Then quickly understand your own business domain knowledge and related partners, and establish links with partners.
The next step is to understand the competency requirements of different ranks in your business domain, and conduct deliberate self-training in accordance with the competency requirements.
If the above is done, your major should be no problem, and it is more popular with people around you.
Then there is the question of how to do the project.
The first important thing is to make yourself a person of choice.
Many newcomers do not have any planning when doing things, so they stay at this stage. If you have done the above things, you already have the possibility to choose the project.
Try to choose projects with more links, this may make you tired, but if you do well, you will easily get results. And you will gradually become inaccessible and able to choose. This principle is a structural hole in the social principle.
The choice lies not only in what you do, but also in what you do first. It is good to do things that are easier to get results.
The last thing is to learn packaging. The first stage of packaging is how to look good in structure for easy reporting and understanding by superiors. The second stage is the concept of packaging, which embodies meaning and prospects. The third stage is packaging. This stage is very important. How to combine related businesses into a larger project and get rewards from the group, for example. At this stage, you are the hottest person to the team. But you must pay attention to the benefits, otherwise it may be difficult for you to do it in the future.
06How to solve the problem of delayed reporting?
How to solve the problem of delayed reporting? Especially your things are not superb for mentor.
Many newcomers will encounter this problem, because it depends on you and your mentor. If you encounter a lazy mentor, then you will be embarrassed.
So how to solve it? We assume that your mentor is lazy.
a, learn to confirm
Time confirmation of mentor and confirmation the day before the start and confirmation one hour before the start. Pay attention to the reminder skills. No matter how familiar you are, don't think of yourself too much. Choose to join in a polite and cute tone.
At the same time, the confirmation must be sent by email, and the schedule will be pushed if possible.
b. Introduce a third party
This is a very good thing, that is to do things as much as possible in advance to confirm, so that the relevant parties can be introduced, and then the overall communication meeting, which can also achieve the effect of reporting. And if you can use the business side well, you can also make your leaders appreciate you better.
c. Use teamleader appropriately
This should be done carefully. It must be done with the mentor’s knowledge and confirmation. This is not to suppress the mentor, but to make things proceed with the lowest impact on the mentor. At that time, only milestones and above could do this, don't do other things.
07How to be struggling to cope with work every day while maintaining continuous learning?
In fact, most of the long-term exhaustion is a manifestation of insufficient personal ability. Pay attention to the long-term.
But this stage is painful. If you have mastered the solution, then it is very simple. You can even cut off outside matters for a period of time and allow yourself to improve in stages. However, this situation is relatively speaking. I once asked the company not to take orders for two and a half months, and then after the rectification, the company rebounded and expanded rapidly.
If you still can't have a definite solution, then what you have to face next is very troublesome.
First of all you must have time!
Set a time for yourself and stick to it. For example, you must make a plan for the next day every day. No matter what time you finish writing, the day's things must be completed before going to bed. It also includes getting up earlier and sacrificing some other so-called persistence.
Then it is to find the most suitable learning channel.
In fact, we often think that if we have time to read something on our own, or if we have time to read, it is learning. Of course, these are all considered learning. But when we are struggling to deal with it and want to learn, is it really just reading books? In fact, we want more to make ourselves stronger, how to better face the current situation, and let ourselves go through the stage of being struggling to cope. In this case, learning channels are even more important.
The first step is to understand your problem.
If you can summarize it yourself, it’s okay. The other thing is to find someone more capable to help you analyze. If it is difficult to find around, you can also pay for consultation. For example, an app like "Laye" is a good choice.
The second step is to develop a solution.
The most important thing in this place is to determine the main problem. Don't try to solve all the problems at once, and don't switch between problems easily.
For example, your biggest problem now is that you don’t understand operations, and the secondary problem is that you don’t understand the operating mechanism of the data center. Then you remember that what you spend alone time learning is operation, and this is the only problem.
The third step is the learning method.
This is based on their own situation. Some people feel good reading, some feel better watching courses, and some feel good consultation. Of course, the best way is to have a stage feedback mechanism.
Another thing is to learn don't hesitate to invest money. For example, if you learn python, you waste more than a week in the environment and then give up. In fact, even if you can’t find anyone by your side, Taobao has a high probability of 9.9 yuan.
Just go back and forth in this way, and then you will find that there are fewer and fewer problems, and your abilities are getting better and better.
08 Ali 6 liters 7, what should be paid attention to?
Objectively speaking, I don't know much about Ali's rank requirements. According to normal circumstances, Ali should have the corresponding rank requirements. So you can take a look first.
However, I want to say that those requirements are the basis, and there are some things that must be known, and then you can better know whether you can be promoted.
a, the company's promotion time
Each company is different. For example, some companies have two opportunities for promotion a year, one with a large percentage and one with a small percentage.
Then some ranks can be promoted twice a year, and some ranks can only be promoted once in two years or longer.
b. What is the promotion rate?
Generally, the promotion rate for lower ranks is larger, such as 40-50%. The promotion of higher vocational level is generally less than 30%. The higher the rank, the smaller the proportion. For example, the VP level of a large company may not even be promoted to one in a year.
c. Conditions for exceptional promotion
This is very important. For example, you have been in the company for 10 months and you have done very well, but the company requires that it normally takes a full year to be promoted, so breakthrough becomes very important.
Knowing this does not mean you can use it, but you know this may give you an unexpected surprise in due course.
d. How many people around you who are stronger than you and who can report to the same promotion stage
This is too important. Sometimes you are very strong, but there are people around you who are stronger than you, so he will be promoted before you. Then according to the principle of b, you may not have a chance this year.
This strength is not only the technology you recognize, but also whether there are better projects, whether it is more appreciated by the leaders, and whether there are some hard outputs, such as group rewards, patents, etc.
Well, if you have mastered all of these, then you can better understand whether you can be promoted.
09 How to inspire subordinates to surprise yourself?
Because I am excellent, it is more difficult for subordinates to surprise myself, so how to motivate people who do things with me. Achieve understanding and meet your minimum requirements and surprise you or correct your mistakes?
When you first asked this question, as a manager, you were actually not good enough. Maybe you are excellent because of some abilities, but in fact, as a manager, you may lack a lot. Of course, because of your excellence, you may be able to do it in a short time.
Then we talk about the solution to this problem. (In fact, this situation rarely happens)
a. An organization must have a clear level and ability requirements, if not, then build it up with manpower.
b. There are many aspects to evaluating a person. The success of a project does not depend on who is smart, but on the overall output of the team. It tests the cooperation of the real team and the management ability of the manager. Therefore, the output beyond the plan in any aspect is excellent.
c. Fully understand everyone below you (your direct subordinates). Know their abilities, know their strengths and weaknesses, and then arrange tasks and set expectations reasonably.
d. Try to do some training so that subordinates can grow.
e. Establish a mentoring mechanism so that newcomers and those who cannot meet the standards can reach the standards quickly. And you can also introduce the evaluation mechanism of the master to make your own perception better fit the evaluation mechanism of the team.
f. The preliminary evaluation of the project and the architecture design are very important, which can guarantee the lowest guarantee of the project to the greatest extent.
