2023/12/12 How to be a leader who is liked
After writing a chapter yesterday, Mr. Lu came to chat with me and talked about how to be a leader that everyone likes.
I think that first of all, if an employee does something wrong, it means that you are a very good manager, why? Because, you know how to delegate power, know how to give the people below the opportunity to make mistakes, and you know how to constantly test the boundaries of his mistakes, the growth of employees must come from the more mistakes they make, the faster they grow. The more often she made mistakes, the more she realized herself.
Don't say that in a company, an employee's mistake is the leader's mistake, I will tell you that the person who says such a thing is someone who has never opened a company at all, and has never managed a team at all. You are not an immortal, how can you avoid the people below without making mistakes?
I saw that there are many bloggers on Douyin who say that it is the responsibility of leaders when employees make mistakes, and I can tell you in this chapter that Douyin bloggers who say this kind of thing are misleading you. They don't know what it means to start a company or a team, and maybe he hasn't even managed ten people. And I will tell you again that when a subordinate makes a mistake, whether or not to scold him.
Hey, that's the second reason, subordinates have to scold him when they make mistakes, and they have to scold him very harshly, why? Because, when you scold him, you scold him for not being professional enough, scold him because he is not careful, and scold him because he is inexperienced. But after scolding him, you must also care, what do you care about? Care about the mentality of your subordinates, care about his life, care about himself.
A few years ago, there was a particularly good movie called "Women's Volleyball", in this film, in the process of training the women's volleyball players, the coach was extremely strict with the athletes, and even trained the athletes like hell, why? Because, the coach must let the athletes get good results, but after the severity, they will also go to the basin of hot water to soak the athletes' feet in the evening, and will also send breakfast to the athletes in the morning, and even cook food for the athletes at night, so that the athletes' lives will be better. These are two completely different dimensions, absolutely unaccustomed when I should scold you, and absolutely unambiguous when I should care about you.
In terms of the company's professional management, don't have a little favor, and don't have a little work outside the company's professional management, which is an excellent business leader.
In the past, when we first opened the company, none of the three people knew how to manage, that is, the three people divided three departments to manage the employees of the three departments, which led to three different views, and the people were not aligned. Later, Pan Dong learned the management model of "slap you and give you a sweet date" from other companies, and the three departments were surprisingly united.
At that time, I didn't understand, what does Pan Dong mean? As the number of subordinates under my control grows, and I experience more things, you understand what kind of good management is.
In addition to this, a good leader should also focus on cultivating the abilities and qualities of employees.
When employees make mistakes, not only criticize their performance, but also help them analyze the reasons and provide improvement solutions so that they can avoid the same mistakes in the future. At the same time, leaders should also pay attention to the working environment and living conditions of employees. When employees encounter difficulties, they should reach out in time to give help and support. This not only strengthens employees' sense of belonging and loyalty, but also increases their motivation and efficiency.
Leaders should also focus on communication with employees. In terms of professional management of the company, leaders should maintain good communication with employees, listen to their opinions and suggestions, and make them feel valued and cared for by the company. At the same time, in addition to the management of the company, the leader should also maintain an appropriate distance from the employees to maintain the authority and image of the company.
A good leader needs to possess a variety of qualities and abilities, including the ability to criticize and love employees, pay attention to employees' work and life conditions, and good communication skills.
Only in this way can employees like and trust themselves and work together for the development and success of the company.
Criticize from a professional point of view, and love from a life point of view. Such a leader is sure to be liked by the employees!
