#给退休的领导送礼有必要吗 #
His cousin Xiaolong, who works in an engineering position in a construction company, has been following an older leader for the past few years and has worked his way from small assistant to department head, second only to department head.
His department is also a large department, so the supervisor has two. At the end of last year, the leader also officially retired from the company, so the position of department head was vacant.
My cousin has struggled in the company for so many years, and naturally wants to compete for this position. According to the practice within the company, he guessed that the company's senior management would also seek the opinions of the original leaders.
But the leaders are retired, to give him gifts, to ask for help is really effective?
With this trouble, he came to me for consultation, hoping to hear advice, and I talked about three points.
First, newly retired leaders can still exert their residual heat
Although I have not worked in a construction company, I have worked in a state-owned enterprise for many years. From the perspective of interpersonal characteristics, I think there are also many similarities.
Although my cousin's leader has retired, after all, the time is still short, and I think this leader must still be able to exert influence.
Take a retired leader of my former state-owned enterprise as an example, in the year after his retirement, the company still has a lot of things to deal with him.
For example, the new leader's work connection problem, such as the company's past practices in some things to ask for advice. These must be indispensable to find retired leaders.
In addition, more importantly, the contacts of leaders who have just retired are still very strong. As long as he is willing to say hello to you, many seemingly troublesome problems can be solved.
Therefore, if the cousin wants to be promoted, it is absolutely the right choice to find the help of the old leader.
Second, the human society is inevitably conventional
Once you understand the "value" of retired leadership, your cousin will also have doubts: Will the leader accept his gift?
My view of this matter is also a positive attempt, under normal circumstances, the old leader has just retired, and many former subordinates may come to visit to express their gratitude, not to mention that you still have something to ask for.
Whether it is asking the leader for help or thanking the past for help, it is necessary to send something to the leader or invite guests to drink tea and so on.
Our workplace is also a personal workplace, you may think that gift-giving is very cheesy, but in most occasions, gift-giving can really play a good interpersonal social effect.
What's more, what the cousin wants is the help of promotion, there are competitors inside, if you don't give gifts, others send, then the opportunity in this matter is even smaller.
Third, in addition to gift-giving, there are other details to pay attention to
Regarding the matter of promotion help, it seems to me that gift-giving is necessary. But in addition to gifts, cousins should not forget some other details.
From the perspective of the leader, if the purpose is clear to the point, the other party may have some ideas. For example, "You are asking for a gift from me, if you don't need me, you won't come to me" or something like that.
Therefore, when communicating with the leader, do not be too anxious to express this purpose. First of all, we should thank the leaders for their attention and promotion in so many years before retirement.
And you also need to care about the life of the leader after retirement, and don't let the other party feel that he has lost his position of power.
When you've laid the mood, helping out is just going with the flow.
Write at the end
The leaders are retired, do we still need to give gifts to each other?
In many cases, it is still necessary. We must not underestimate the energy of anyone in the workplace, the so-called "skinny camel is bigger than a horse", retired leaders may also become our workplace nobles.
