In addition to reuniting with our families, we often think of the leaders who have given us guidance and help in our work.
Sending them a New Year's message seems to have become a kind of "ritual" for people in the workplace. But did you know that sending a New Year's message to a leader is not as simple as saying "Happy New Year."
I still remember that on the eve of the Spring Festival last year, I struggled for a long time, whether to send a group New Year's message to the leaders, or to bother to write a separate one for each leader?
Just when I was in a dilemma, the words of my retired uncle, made me pause.
The uncle said: "Son, you have to be careful when you send New Year's messages to the leader! Don't just send 'Happy New Year', this kind of text message can be received by the leader hundreds a day, do you think they will read it seriously?"
I was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and thought: That's true, every Spring Festival, my mobile phone is also full of New Year's greeting text messages, many of which are obviously copied and pasted, which are dazzling, and finally I simply don't read them.
The uncle continued: "When people with high emotional intelligence send New Year's greeting text messages, they will first understand the preferences and personality of the leader, and then write the content of the text message.
Moreover, they will choose a suitable time to send, which will not disturb the leader's rest, but also ensure that the leader can see it in the first place. ”
I asked curiously, "Then uncle, how did you send New Year's greeting messages to the leader before?"
The uncle smiled and said, "Actually, it's not difficult, the key is to be sincere." I will first briefly review the care and guidance given to me by the leaders in the past year, and then express my gratitude to the leaders and New Year's wishes.
Of course, at the end of the text message, I will also add some words that I look forward to continuing to cooperate in the future. ”
I benefited a lot from listening to this, so I wrote a separate New Year's message to each leader according to my uncle's suggestion. The result was beyond my expectations, not only did the leaders reply to my text messages, but they also expressed their appreciation for my intentions.
First of all, the timing is very important to send a New Year's message to the leader. Sending too early may make the leader feel that you are too eager, and sending too late may make the leader feel that you are not paying enough attention.
Generally speaking, the period from the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve to the morning of New Year's Day is more appropriate.
Second, the content of the text message should be sincere and targeted. Don't blindly copy and paste the New Year's message template on the web, which will only drown your text message with a lot of messages.
You can briefly review the care and guidance given to you by the leaders in the past year, and then express your gratitude to the leaders and New Year's wishes.
At the same time, you can also write the content of the text message according to the personality and preferences of the leader, so that the leader can feel your intentions and sincerity.
Finally, be sure to double-check before sending a text message to make sure there are no typos and grammatical errors. A well-written New Year's message can not only bring you closer to your leader, but also may add a boost to your career.
Of course, if you find it too much trouble to write a New Year's greeting message, you can also choose to send some concise and sincere greetings.
For example: "Happy New Year, Leader, Thank you for your care and guidance over the past year, and I wish you and your family a happy and healthy New Year!"
In short, sending New Year's greeting text messages to leaders is not a simple matter, and we need to think and write it with our hearts.
Only in this way can our text messages stand out among many messages and become a warmth and touching in the hearts of leaders.
