The early morning sunlight poured into the room through the cracks in the curtains, shaking my face so hard that I couldn't open my eyes. I fumbled with my phone in a daze, looked at the time, and it was only half past seven. I wanted to continue to sleep for a while, but my mind was repeatedly circling today's itinerary: at 9 o'clock in the morning, I drove to the company with my eldest sister.
I lifted the covers and sat up, took a few deep breaths, and looked out the window. Spring is coming, and the trees on the roadside are already green, and occasionally a gust of wind blows, and the leaves rattle. I made up my mind that I must behave well today and make a good impression on my eldest sister.
After grooming and dressing, I came to the living room, where my eldest sister was already sitting on the sofa. "Yo, Qingshuai, you're counted. She smiled at me.
"Hi, big sister. I smiled and said hello, "I'm tired today, and I have to rely on you all the way." "
"Don't worry, I'm cautious when driving, let alone on the road, even when I get to the company, I have to protect you. The eldest sister said, glancing at me inadvertently.
I'm a little weak in my heart, and I don't know what the eldest sister means. Is there anything in the company that I should guard against? But after thinking about it, although the eldest sister usually likes to joke, she is still very reliable when she says serious things.
"Then thank you for the bother. I said sincerely, "Shall we go now?"
The eldest sister will offer to "protect" me in the company, and it seems that something may happen today that overwhelms me. But with my eldest sister here, I'm much more relieved.
My eldest sister is the person I trust the most in this company, not only has strong work ability, but also is cheerful and enthusiastic. The two of us can be said to be good buddies in the company, and we can tell each other about any hardships. With the enthusiasm of the eldest sister, I believe that she will definitely give me the best support and help at a critical time.
Before I knew it, I didn't have too many worries about today's trip. With the support of the eldest sister, we can always find a way to solve any tricky situation. Let's witness our tacit understanding and friendship today!
My eldest sister and I got into the car, and the eldest sister skillfully fastened her seat belt, adjusted the rearview mirrors, and started the car. The car started smoothly and drove out of the complex.
The eldest sister has always had her own set of driving and has never been sloppy. She holds the steering wheel with both hands, looks ahead, and occasionally examines the dashboard. When encountering traffic lights, she never rushes, but waits patiently; When a pedestrian crosses the street, she will take the initiative to slow down and give way.
Driving this kind of thing, the eldest sister can do it with ease, and her movements are neat and decent, and it is effortless. I often feel that my eldest sister is so calm and confident in everything she does, no wonder she can be respected in the company.
The eldest sister held the steering wheel with one hand and looked at me sideways, with a smile on her lips. "What, Qingshuai, are you nervous?"
"A little. I answered truthfully. The eldest sister's eyes were too confident, which made me even more restless.
The eldest sister seemed to see through my thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, with me, no one can hurt you today." "
I struggled to squeeze out a smile and nodded. Although the eldest sister's words have no special meaning, the tone of her words makes people feel extremely down-to-earth and reliable. Maybe it's because of my long-term relationship with her, but I always have great trust in her calmness.
The eldest sister moved her gaze forward again, focusing on driving. I looked at the contours of her face, with a high nose bridge and closed thin lips, revealing a heroic air. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would almost suspect that she would be a battle-hardened veteran.
"By the way, Qingshuai, do you know that Lao Xie will also attend the meeting today?" The eldest sister asked casually while driving.
My heart chuckled. Lao Xie is the big boss of our company, and he has always neglected to meet his subordinates, and it is rare to see him at a meeting.
"Old, old Xie, why is he coming?" I stammered.
"Didn't you receive the notice of the meeting? This morning's marketing work meeting, Lao Xie personally presided over it. The eldest sister glanced at me, "What, are you nervous?"
The eldest sister laughed: "Qingshuai, don't be afraid, Lao Xie is usually a little pretentious, but in fact, he is a very good person, and it is not difficult to get along at all." "
I thought to myself, it's easy for you to say, but that Lao Xie is a walking iceberg, where is it easy to get along? But seeing that the eldest sister is so confident, I have no choice but to nod and pretend to be very calm.
"When the time comes, you can ask me any questions. The eldest sister patted me on the shoulder, "I'm Lao Xie's right-hand man, and I know exactly what he thinks." "
I was amused by the eldest sister and smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll count on the eldest sister." But you have to be kind to me, after all, I'm your little brother. "
"Don't worry, junior brother, sister, I will protect you up and down!" The eldest sister gave me a thumbs up and winked.
We chatted happily all the way until we entered the city, and the eldest sister's face gradually became serious. "It's time for the company, Qingshuai, get ready. She said.
The eldest sister parked the car firmly in the parking lot, and we quickly sorted out the instruments and walked towards the company building.
After entering the building, my eldest sister led me directly to the large conference room on the 17th floor. There were already a few people standing at the door of the conference room, and when they saw us coming, they were all stunned, and then nodded again and again, respectfully getting out of the way.
I was a little puzzled, was I making way for my eldest sister? But they looked at me with a little surprise, as if they didn't expect me to come with my eldest sister.
Just when I was confused, the eldest sister suddenly stopped, and I subconsciously stopped. I saw a person walking out of the conference room, it was Lao Xie, the boss of our company.
Lao Xie is also dressed in a formal suit today, with a suit on a black background, a white shirt, a neatly groomed tie, and his hair carefully combed, revealing a majestic temperament of asceticism. His eyes scanned us and finally stopped at me.
"Qingshuai, you're here. Lao Xie nodded, his tone was flat, and he couldn't hear any emotion.
"You, hello, boss. I said hello and my heart jumped.
Lao Xie's gaze stayed on me for a few seconds, and then looked at the eldest sister. "Big sister, you're just in time, come in. "
"Yes, boss. The eldest sister nodded respectfully, and then glanced at me, and I understood, and followed in her footsteps.
The conference hall was already full, and when they saw us enter, the faces of those below looked surprised. I swallowed my saliva and tried to look as calm as I could.
Lao Xie sat down on the rostrum, and the eldest sister walked up to him and stood aside. With some hesitation, I found a seat behind my eldest sister and sat down.
As soon as Lao Xie spoke, the scene fell silent. His tone was indifferent, his voice was neither loud nor small, but it made people feel oppressed. I stole a glance at the people below and found that they were staring at Lao Xie intently, for fear of missing a word from him.
I was shocked, and Lao Xie's gaze was like a substantial weight, and I couldn't breathe. I struggled to stand up, and found that all eyes were on me, and I was even more at a loss.
Just when I was hesitating, the eldest sister quietly glanced at me on the side, and the word "relax" was written all over her face. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself.
Lao Xie waved his hand and motioned for me to continue. I glanced at my eldest sister, and she said to me with her mouth, "Don't be afraid, just tell me how you really feel." "
"Especially the eldest sister," I said, glancing at the eldest sister, who nodded encouragingly at me, "she is not only very capable of her work, but also warm and friendly, and she helps and guides me everywhere. If it weren't for my eldest sister's care, it might have been difficult for me to integrate into the team so quickly. "
There was a round of applause below, and the eldest sister also clapped her hands on the side, looking at me with sparkling eyes. My confidence grew and I continued to talk about it.
I praised Lao Xie endlessly, but found that his expression became more and more serious, and his brows gradually locked. I involuntarily silenced, for fear that what I said next would be wrong would anger him.
At this time, Lao Xie suddenly spoke: "Qingshuai, you said it very well." But, do you really know me?"
I froze and looked at him with my mouth open. Lao Xie's eyes were like electricity, shooting straight at me, making me feel a palpitation.
"You just see me at work. Lao Xie's tone was flat, but with a sense of oppression, "But do you know what kind of hardships I have paid for today's achievements? Do you know what kind of sacrifices and commitments I have made in order to protect everyone's interests?"
I was stunned by Lao Xie's momentum and couldn't say a word. The people below were also silent, and they didn't dare to make a sound.
At this moment, the eldest sister stepped forward and patted me on the shoulder. She looked at me, mouth-hushed the word "don't be afraid", then turned to Lao Xie and said respectfully: "Boss, Qingshuai is just a newcomer, and his understanding of you is naturally limited." However, he is a young man with great potential, and I believe that if you give him time, he will be able to truly grasp your spirit and realm. "
Lao Xie glanced at his eldest sister, and the expression on his face softened a little. He nodded, and looked at me again, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"Okay, Qingshuai, I'll give you a chance. Lao Xie said, "This afternoon, you follow the eldest sister and experience our work for yourself." When the time comes, you may be able to truly understand what it means to be a good leader. "
After speaking, Lao Xie looked around the venue and motioned for everyone to start the formal meeting. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief and secretly glanced at my eldest sister. The eldest sister said to me with a mouth: "Don't worry, I'm here." "
At noon, my eldest sister took me and a few colleagues to a high-end restaurant for lunch. On the way, she kept explaining the precautions to us, and we all nodded while recording carefully.
After entering the box, the eldest sister told us all to sit down, then picked up the menu by herself and began to order food without raising her head. I looked at the silhouette of her face, with a high nose and thin, closed lips, just like when I was in the car in the morning. This made me realize how dedicated and neat my eldest sister is at work.
I was stunned, all the little movements of the eldest sister were full of majesty and bearing. Is this the spirit of "good leadership" in Lao Xie's mouth? I can't help but be full of expectations for the next "actual battle."
After lunch, the eldest sister took us straight to the destination. Along the way, I watched my eldest sister's every move all the time. And she's all open, so serious that she's like a sculpture.
When we arrived at our destination, the eldest sister asked us to wait outside and went in first. I took advantage of this free time and was puzzled.
The eldest sister is usually such a hearty and enthusiastic person, how can she change her appearance at work? It seems that she is a walking workplace textbook, and every detail is showing the spirit of "good leadership".
And Lao Xie, although he seems stern and old-fashioned, he said today to give me a "chance", which is nothing more than to let me truly understand this spirit.
Just when I realized the true meaning of "good leadership", the eldest sister walked out of the room, with a joy on her face that could not be concealed.
"How's it going?" I hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"It went well, and they agreed to our conditions!" The eldest sister said happily, "This is a big order, and it is very important for our performance this quarter." "
"How?" The eldest sister smiled, "There is no special way, just honestly explain the advantages of the product clearly, and sincerely express our sincerity." "
At this moment, the eldest sister suddenly patted me on the shoulder, and the expression on her face became extremely serious.
"Qingshuai, you must know that negotiation is not blindly catering to the other party, but adhering to principles and striving for a win-win situation. Her tone was extremely serious, "Although we have made some concessions, our core interests must not be sacrificed. This requires us to have sufficient determination and bearing, and we must not lose any square inch in the negotiations. "
I looked at the face of my eldest sister Tie Qing, and suddenly realized that "good leadership" does not simply refer to a person's appearance and style, but more importantly, inner determination and bearing. A person who truly "leads well" must have firm principles and aura in order to truly be at ease and not chaotic in the face of danger.
I looked at my eldest sister, looked at her resolute eyes, and suddenly felt that she was the best embodiment of "good leadership" in my mind. And the small action of turning her head sideways while eating is no longer a simple action, but the best interpretation of her bearing.
At this moment, the eldest sister's mobile phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and said to me, "It's Lao Xie, you go back first, and I'll report the situation to him." "
I nodded, watched my eldest sister walk away a few steps, and began to talk to Lao Xie in a low voice. At this moment, I suddenly realized that the reason why Lao Xie wanted to give me this "opportunity" was that I could truly understand the true meaning of "good leadership". And the eldest sister is also showing me this spirit with her actions.
I am sincerely in awe of Lao Xie, and at the same time, I admire the wisdom of my eldest sister even more. With such a leader and mentor, my future is limitless!
When I returned to the company, I couldn't calm down for a long time. Today's experience is so colorful that I have so much to reflect on.
The eldest sister is the best example, she is serious and serious, but she never loses her principles; She has an extraordinary bearing, but she never gives up on the bottom line. It is this inherent tenacity that makes her comfortable in negotiations.
I secretly made up my mind that I must learn from my eldest sister and Lao Xie, and truly learn the spirit of "good leadership". Only by internalizing this spirit will I be able to be comfortable in my future work and become a true leader.
At the same time, I also realized that I had been too impetuous and shallow before. Work is not something that can be learned by the kung fu of a three-legged cat, it needs to be slowly precipitated and internalized in order to thrive. And the spirit of "good leadership" is also a compulsory course for growth. With it, I can be truly humble, courteous, principled, and take all kinds of difficulties in stride.
Yes, today I have received a timely rain, which has made me see my shortcomings clearly, and also allowed me to find a path to maturity. There is still a long way to go, but I am already full of ambition and can't wait to grow up as soon as possible!
"Big sister. I called her.
The eldest sister raised her head and saw that it was me, with a puzzled look on her face: "What, Qingshuai, you came so early today?"
The eldest sister was stunned, and then smiled. "Well, that's exactly what I want to see. She patted the place beside her, "Sit down, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask me." "
"Thank you, big sister. I say from the bottom of my heart. Looking at the kind face of my eldest sister, I made up my mind that I must be like her, implement the spirit of "good leadership" in all aspects of work and life, and become a real leader.
