"A few days ago, the superior department organized a temporary meeting, and the office sent me the notice of the meeting, requiring the supervisor to attend the meeting and not allowing leave. I found that it was less than half an hour before the meeting time, hurriedly notified the supervisor leader, did not expect the leader to directly refuse to attend the meeting, told me that he now has business to be busy, there is no time, let me refuse to the superior office.
There was no way I could only truthfully call back to the superior office, and as a result, the office leader asked me to notify the supervisor and ask him to personally call the superior unit leader to ask for leave. I'm really in a dilemma! ”
My girlfriend told me about the recent troubles, sandwiched between the leader in charge and the leader of the superior office, it is really a dilemma, one is the supervisor's own, one is to deal with frequently, really that side can not afford to offend ah!
In the workplace, we often encounter this kind of trouble in the middle of the dilemma, once we do not handle it well, we will easily offend one party, and even both sides may offend, this thankless and very annoying work will often make us very tricky, many people do not like to face.
But everything has two sides, if you can properly handle this matter, we may make both sides very comfortable, get the trust of leaders on both sides, then, how to avoid making yourself a workplace "sandwich cookie" is a mature workplace people to learn, the following feathers to briefly share their own small views:
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" >, don't panic when receiving a temporary notice, and ask the specific details in detail</h1>
Many immature workplace people will be subconsciously nervous when they receive a call from a superior leader to handle things, and then they will ignore many details of the phone, or even do not remember the specific things, and then there will be a transfer of things, and the leader will ask you a question.
The correct approach is to receive a call from the superior leader, it is best to pick up the paper and pen to carefully record the content, especially the time, place, things, participants these details of the question must be recorded in detail, if the leader asks, you can also answer freely, if you really do not remember clearly, do not worry, timely through the relevant personnel of the office for the superior leader to understand the situation.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="40" > Second, analyze the reasons why leaders do not attend the meeting</h1>
At present, whether it is a government unit or a state-owned enterprise, the conference will continue to be small, and it may be that private enterprises will be relatively better. In the face of many meeting leaders will definitely choose from it, otherwise there is no need to do anything else in a day, just a meeting.
Some meetings may not be the level of the organizer is necessarily very high, but the requirements are not low, as the head of the unit leader will certainly not participate, because the leader is to face, the level of the organizer is the same level as him or even worse than him, how can the leader give up his subordinates to participate? Such meetings are usually attended by the chief of staff of the head of the subordinate office, or someone is directly assigned to attend.
There are also meetings that may be more formal than the content, the essence of the meeting is not to solve practical problems, for the leadership is a pure waste of time. For some pragmatic leaders, it is better to spend time on feasible projects, potential customers, and other things that can bring him performance, rather than wasting it in intrigue and meaningless meetings.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="45" >3, how to avoid becoming a workplace "sandwich cookie"? </h1>
If you want to avoid becoming a workplace "sandwich cookie" and let yourself be embarrassed, it is important to do these points well:
1. Be clear about who is your boss
For many newcomers to the workplace, when they receive a call from a higher-level leader, they will blindly listen to the arrangement of work, not knowing that this is invisibly making the most fatal mistake.
Whoever has a high position will listen to whom, this truth is not wrong in the workplace, especially for an inexperienced workplace newcomer, the leader of a higher position must lower his posture even more.
But they forget their position, as the saying goes, "county officials are not as good as the current management", high-ranking leaders manage the affairs more comprehensively, do not care about those trivial matters, and will not speak for people who have nothing to do with him.
And your supervisor is different, he is in charge of the power of life and death for you, performance appraisal can not be separated from him, work to stay is his one-sentence thing.
All you have to do is listen to the leader in charge and do everything you can to solve his problems.
2, in the most appropriate way to do things to the fullest
Your supervisor leader may only need one sentence to refuse, but when you reply to the superior department, you can't use the same sentence, you should express your supervisor's decision that the leader can't go to the meeting in a euphemistic way, let the other party know that your leader is doing more important things, not perfunctory to them.
You can try to communicate in this way, our leader is outside to receive an important customer, the time may not be too late to rush back, can we let our office supervisor participate on behalf of the participant, record the content of the meeting back to facilitate the report to the leader.
This will not make the other party feel that you are belittling him, but also euphemistically help the leader to push off the meeting, but also indirectly show your ability to work.
3. Don't forget to feedback the results with the leader
Don't think that communicating with the office will be fine, you also need to give timely feedback to the supervisor and tell him how things are handled? What is the result of the treatment? Is the other party satisfied?
In your opinion, maybe your few words will make the other party satisfied, in fact, it is not, your euphemistic prevarication can only be counted as giving the other party a step, and the real satisfaction of the other party is the phone call that your leader gives to the other party after receiving your feedback.
If you do not give feedback, then the leader does not know the result, will not make this call, and will invisibly offend the other party or even offend the organizer of the meeting, which is not worth the loss.
You report all the feedback content to the leader, the leader will make corresponding arrangements according to your report, so that not only will you be affirmed by the other leader, but your own leader will also see your work ability, and will also improve a lot of points for you, and may also give you more heavy responsibilities to cultivate you.
Therefore, if you also encounter a similar workplace "sandwich cookie" incident, you should not arbitrarily make a decision first, but analyze the weight of the meeting from the perspective of the leader, and the reason why the leader does not want to participate in the meeting, so as to draw corresponding countermeasures.
There is also no matter how the other party's leadership position is, you must firmly stand on the side of your supervisor to think about the problem, the team must not stand wrong; you must remember that reasonable communication is the best way to solve things, but also to exercise their ability; after the completion of the matter must not forget feedback, let the leader know what you have done, to what extent, so that the leader has a number in mind.
