What is the best way to respond to a leader who says, "Thank you for your hard work"?

01 When the leader says you are working hard, don't just answer "no"

When you were in school, your teacher often praised you for your cleanliness and good work as a class officer, and you would usually say, "No, it's not hard work, it's what we should do! But in the workplace, we don't have to take such a high profile.

You work hard to finish things, submit materials, work overtime, and e, and the leader saw, and kindly said and to you "hard work", you are red he face, replied "no hard work, no hard work", the leader's heart how to think? This kid seems to have not made a deadly effort or thought that thought is a silent slow silent-plowing cow, the future work on you.

In the workplace, you say not hard work, are supposed to do. The leader heart a wild laugh, anyway, are you should do, then, I do not give overtime pay is also I should do. You can see that every time a parade is held, when the chief shouts "Comrades have worked hard" on the presidential car, the soldiers will only look at the chief with torchlight and then shout "serve the people", never "not hard". It will never be "any hard work".

We are in the workplace, and we have to understand that a workplace is a place of profit, the company will not pay the employees who are not capable and do not work, likewise, you are not to give to the boss and the company for nothing, all your efforts and work results are recognized and rewarded is a matter of course, and can be promoted and increased salary from this is even better.

When the leader finally sees your efforts, your blood, an your sweat, and is recognizing your hard work, you must not say "no hard work" against your will, neither to impress the leader, nor to earn a penny more.

Generally speaking, when a leader says "hard work" to you, it has three levels of meaning.

A polite and civilized phrase.

You did work very hard, to show you praise and recognition.

You didn't work hard, and you didn't do a good job, so you are warned.

The first kind of polite words will not say much, the leader knows that you are normal work, in passing to you say "hard work", you only need to answer "all should do", this is fine, each other polite on the line. Focus on the latter two ways of answering.

02 How to respond to the leadership, to their recognition and praise when you say "hard work"?

For example, the leader knows that you have been working overtime for the past few days, or knows that you have been working hard to get a big client for a while, and he sincerely asks you to "work hard".

The leader intends to let you know that he knows how much hard work you have put in, which translates to, the leader knowing that you have worked hard, so you know that he understands you.

Leaders have the advantage of being able to look down on their subordinates, they know exactly how much work their subordinates do and how much effort they put in, especially the kind of leadership that grows up from grassroots training, how much thought their subordinates use to do the job, he knows it inside out.

At this point, you can a thousand words, cohesive into a sentence, "Thank you for your concern". The majority of verbal praise can be responded to with this phrase. These six words tell the leader, I know you know I've worked hard, I appreciate it, and I'll follow you in the future.

There are two other situations here.

First, you have a good relationship with the leader

If the leader has a good personality and you have a good relationship with him, you can also try to make the communication atmosphere a little lighter.

For example, if the leader says "Good work!" You can take advantage of the situation and make a joke with the leader: "Mr. So-and-so, it's worth being a dog with your words! What, do you want to give me or the team a treat?" This way, you are relaxed and close to the leader.

Second, your relationship with the leader is average

You don't have a good relationship with the leader, not to the point of jokingly letting the leader treat you.

Then you can say something like this: "Thank you so and so for always caring, although this time is very hard, but also learned a lot of things, they have grown a lot, this hard work is worth it." If you say this, the leader will immediately be impressed with you.

Or you can say, "As long as we can meet the customer's requirements, all the hard work is worth it. My only concern is that this so-and-so isn't perfect." This shows your work ethic and gives you a way back!

03 How do you respond to a leader who says "hard work" when you are not satisfied with your work?

The leader knows that you have done something, but you have not done it well and the quality is not high, so he is not satisfied; or he knows that you have not worked hard enough, but he does not want to discourage you, so he says "hard work" warningly, which is a knock on you.

Therefore, you should first have a pre-judgment and assessment of your work in which area is good or bad, at least a little number in your mind, and then when you hear the leader say to you hard, must observe the leader's expression.

If the leader is frowning at you and says "hard work", don't answer foolishly and indiscriminately. If you can't understand the meaning of the leader's words and reply, "It's okay, I should do it, thank you for your concern", you think the leader is blind.

A wise person immediately hears the leader's warning and hurriedly replies, "I am short of time this time and my level is limited, thank you for understanding, I will continue to work hard." The leader will be able to understand that you have understood his intention, followed by a statement to the leader that you will improve and will not appear in this situation next time.

04 Don't forget to compliment your colleagues if you want to excel in front of the leader

The leader manages the whole company or the whole department, what he values more is the overall performance and strength of the team, if you encounter a leader who is very serious when it comes to affirmation and praise, he wants the whole team to make achievements, to appear that his team is well led, so you should not forget to give the whole team some praise, especially on some solemn occasions, or when the leader wants to hear more of your answers, so get in the spirit! Make a better impression on the leader.

So, when we hear the leader say hard work, we can answer: this time, thanks to the cooperation of our team colleagues, to complete the goal, especially so-and-so and so-and-so, for this project and I worked overtime to check the data two all-nighters, finally finished.

In short, you have to highlight the team spirit, so that the leaders know that you are not only a reliable person, but also think of your team, is a responsible, can do great things, and at the same time you can get the appreciation of the team colleagues, later promotion and salary increase when you have a greater chance of winning.

It is important to note here that there are two things you must not do: one is to belittle others to elevate themselves; the second is to eat alone to take the collective credit. You should know that leaders are climbing up from the grassroots, the mouth does not say the heart all understand, so doing is the same as breaking their own back.

In short, leadership is very common to come with "hard work", most of the time answer "thank you leader" can be, but the high intelligent answer is to highlight the team, by the way, to mention their own, the leadership and all colleagues to give you extra points, but also to get the leadership and boss more inner You will also get more internal affirmation from your leader and boss.
