Just got off work, the leader called and asked if you were busy, how to reply with high emotional intelligence?
It's good, just seeing this title, the punches of the workers are already a little hard.
Say busy, I'm afraid that the leader will feel that his work efficiency is not high; say not busy, the leader may feel, hey, other colleagues are still working overtime after work, just your kid left the earliest, good boy turns out that you are so idle every day!
Since the leader raises this question and asks you if you are busy, it is definitely not to find you for tea and chat, but to have work to be handed over to you, and you want to stay and work overtime.
There may be some people who directly refuse: "Leader, I'm so busy flying now, I can't finish the work in my hands at all." "This kind of reply is not good, if the leader gives you a major and brilliant task, then this opportunity will not be missed in vain.
It's not good to reply "very busy", because he is likely to be cheeky and ask you to put what you have on hand in advance, in this case, what do you say, is it possible to fight with the leader? Isn't it self-deprecating?
In the face of the situation of "off work", you can answer positively, but leave three points of leeway, and don't talk too hard.
If the leader asks you through a communication tool, you can answer something like this: "Hello leader, I'm watching a movie with a friend/taking my kids/I'm in a hurry to visit a client/I have something to do at home, do you have anything urgent?"
Don't answer whether you are free or not, but directly make up a reason to say what you are doing, implying that even if you get off work, there are other things to do, and see if the leader is willing to tell you what you want you to do.
If it is not an urgent task, reply directly and say that you will deal with it tomorrow, because if the company has an overtime culture, and the work assigned to you is very serious and must be dealt with immediately, then the leader will not ask you "busy or not", but directly order you to come back to work overtime immediately.
This situation cannot be avoided, and we can only accept our fate.
But if you use communication tools to ask you if you are busy, and it is an urgent task, and you don't want to go back to work overtime, then lose contact for a while, and then find a reason to reply after a while, such as not paying attention to information while watching a movie, not paying attention to your mobile phone when you are dealing with something at home, etc., and then see if the leader has found other colleagues to complete the work.
After a long time in the workplace, small fresh meat can become old fritters, and the leader also climbs up from the grassroots level, your means are all flaws in his eyes, if you really want you to come back to work overtime, there will be no room for you to find a reason to refuse.
I didn't reply to the leader's words that night, and I sent a message to the other party at work the next day. For example, "I'm sorry leader, I didn't see your message/phone call yesterday, is there anything you want me to deal with?".
If the leader complains, you listen patiently, and then apologize when he finishes speaking, the tone should be sincere, the attitude should be serious, and the hand should not hit the smiling person.
It is not advisable to be blindly tough, it is a more rational strategy to salute first and then soldier, I don't know how everyone deals with such a situation?
