In the workplace these seven workplace rules, bosses usually do not tell you

After seven years of graduation, I have suffered countless losses in the workplace. From the initial rookie in the workplace up to today, still learning and figuring it out. The road to the workplace is a winding one, and if you are not careful, you will get into trouble.

After I started to lead my subordinates, I would often ask my friends in management positions from various fields to ask me a question: what qualities do you look for in your subordinates as a manager?

BasTheirswer would be a surprise to many people in the workplace. But these are seven very important workplace rules, and your boss may not tell you these directly.

Workplace rule number one: Don't forget to be grateful, even if you're good at it

When asked what traits they value most in people, this is almost always the answer. It's not being smart or capable, it's knowing how to be grateful. I couldn't agree more with this. There are two living examples around me.

Little A is very capable and executes very well. She is very good in all aspects, but A never appreciates the help she gets from her team. Because she thinks she is good at what she does, she takes all the credit for all the projects she is responsible for. In the long run, fewer and fewer people were willing to help her and she left the company when she was struggling and unhappy.

Little B is an average person, not a particularly flexible girl, but very solid in her work. Because she felt that she was a workplace novice, she would express her gratitude to all those who offered her help, and because she knew how to be grateful, her colleagues around her were willing to help her. After three years in the company, she has built up a good reputation in the company, so she was the first one recommended by her supervisor to attend overseas training and was promoted to a management position upon her return.

No one is obliged to teach you anything in this society, your supervisor spends his precious time teaching you. You know that time is the most precious and non-renewable resource for everyone. Your gratitude is a sign of respect to him for the energy he has put in. Your colleague is just as busy as you are every day, but he is willing to take the time to help you, and he deserves your respect for his generosity. So learn to be grateful and be mindful of the help you receive from others. You will find that your luck will get better and better because you are grateful.

Workplace rule number two Prove your responsibility with your actions

The description of responsible often appears in the self-description of your CV, but being responsible is not something you can prove with words, only with actions.

How can you tell if someone is responsible?

A very simple detail but one that most people are probably unable to do. You can guarantee that the paperwork you hand out is correct when you hand it in. Many people overlook this, but it's really important!

I once asked a subordinate to prepare a page for me for a departmental meeting on short notice, and she ended up preparing a sheet for me that was full of errors. I have never asked her to prepare meeting materials for me since then. I always double-check the documents I receive from her before stamping them, so her documents take longer to stamp than others.

All your actions form a three-dimensional image of you as a person, so prove your responsibility with your actions.

Workplace rule number three: be assertive but don't be stubborn

The biggest headache for your subordinates is not laziness or poor ability, but too much stubbornness. I guess that's why many foreign companies prefer to recruit graduates.

People who have been in the workplace for a few years are the most prone to this problem, and after a few years in the workplace, they will establish a set of their cognitive systems. They think that their system is the best, so they are unable to accept better suggestions and are so stubborn that they feel helpless.

The degree to which one's mind is open determines the height to which one can grow. If you've only acquired a little knowledge and you think that's enough to stop learning new things and stop being open-minded to new ideas, you'll probably be stuck with it for the rest of your life.

The fourth rule of the workplace is to stabilize your emotions and reduce unnecessary complaints.

A person's IQ and EQ are almost zero when they are angry. So in the workplace, the way to improve IQ and EQ is to stabilize your emotions. When I first started my job, my supervisor told me: don't work with the mood you are in that day. Learning to stabilize your emotions is the most basic professionalism.

Besides, complaining can do nothing but ruin the work atmosphere. To manage your emotions, keep your mouth shut and cut down on unnecessary complaining.

Workplace rule 5: Don't contradict your boss in public.

If you have a different opinion from your boss, discuss it in private. Even if there is an argument in private, it is just a discussion between two people about a matter of fact. Publicly contradicting your boss will only turn you and your boss into a joke in the eyes of others. What boss wants to continue to train subordinates who make a joke about themselves?

After all, once people have torn their skin, they can't paint it to mend it. So, put away your bloodlust and remember not to contradict your boss in public.

Workplace rule number six: don't talk nonsense when it comes to execution.

A subordinate with a high ability to execute is more likable to a boss than the ability to express themselves.

When ordering a thing down, subordinates usually have two kinds of performance.

One kind of subordinate will think of the difficulties that will be encountered in the implementation of this thing, and then start to talk to you incessantly to tell you all about it. Because it is difficult, he has a reason to be slow in executing it.

The other type of subordinate is the type of person who is very strong in execution, they will carry out the process of implementation of the difficulties and will actively think of ways to solve them, really can not be solved he will be objective with you to explain the difficulties to request assistance.

If you were a supervisor, you would also like people who are good at execution, right? So when you need to execute, no-nonsense, Just do it.

Workplace rule number seven: don't hold on to other people's mistakes.

In the workplace, it is impossible to avoid office politics, and many people even take pleasure in it. Some people will attack others without mercy once they catch them making mistakes, which is extremely undesirable behavior. Even in the workplace, don't forget to be kind to others, "a good home is a good home". Be lenient with others and strict with yourself, only then will you not be in a position to be attacked by others in times of future adversity. Don't hold on to the mistakes of others, your forgiveness will eventually come back to you.

Although you know the seven rules, always remember not to act them out deliberately! Otherwise, it will only backfire! Use your heart to experience it and change yourself naturally. A person who is constantly learning deserves a better future.
