We have seen a lot of workplace strategies, and there are also a lot of lace stories about bank presidents, as well as some promotion secrets of female presidents, whether they are true or legends, there is no way to verify.
Ling Xiao, who has been the president of the provincial branch of the bank for 20 years, said that the first step in his career as a bank president is that he must be able to catch the conversation when chatting with the leader.
The first key point is that he was promoted to deputy director in 3 years in the workplace, but he found that the director couldn't catch the conversation with the leader, which was a taboo in workplace promotion
Ling Xiao caught up with the college entrance examination from a small mountain village to enter the University of Finance and Economics, and after graduating from university, he directly studied for a master's degree, and started his career as a branch of a bank.
Ling Xiao originally thought that the workplace was to work hard in business, but after he began to contact the president, he began to subvert his three views, and at the same time, he also began to realize that there were too many things to learn after the first level of the workplace, and his shortcomings were too big.
Once, Deputy Director Ling, the Director and the President of the Bank went on a business trip together and took a walk after dinner, because the Director and the President were former classmates, Deputy Director Ling hid far away so that their classmates could have a good chat with each other. Unexpectedly, without chatting a few words, the president directly called Deputy Director Ling over to chat, and then said to Deputy Director Ling, your director has been the director for so many years, and you can't even catch the chat. This sentence shocked Deputy Director Ling very much, because he had not thought about this issue at all. But this question has been deeply imprinted in Deputy Director Ling's mind.
The incident happened soon to Deputy Director Ling. A branch president held a very important expert meeting, which included more than a dozen well-known experts and scholars, after the discussion in the chat, some experts mentioned the local red district, this should be a very sensitive topic, but the president said lightly, what is this, we will go to the red district for dinner in the evening. This sentence stunned both the experts and scholars, as well as Deputy Director Ling. After the meeting, the president explained to Deputy Director Ling that dinner was in the car water house, and then left with a few particularly important experts, and the rest of the experts and scholars were sent by Deputy Director Ling in a car, but Deputy Director Ling didn't know where the so-called red district was, and he didn't know what the car water house was, he thought that the driver would know but the driver didn't know at all, so he had no choice but to take someone to think while walking.
At that time, communication was not as convenient as it is now, although Deputy Director Ling was already equipped with a mobile phone, he did not know the president's mobile phone number at all, and as a result, he roamed on the road for forty minutes and received a call from the president, and only then did he know the specific location. The first thing the president said after meeting was: I often come to the car water house, why don't you even know the car water house?
After Deputy Director Ling and experts and scholars arrived, they learned that the so-called Red District was just a street of local specialties, and because every restaurant was full of red lanterns in front of it, it was jokingly called Red District by the locals, and Che Shui Wu was just a more distinctive beef soup restaurant.
The second important point is that chatting with the leader to catch the conversation is the secret of workplace promotion, but it has two connotations
Ling Xiao discovered the secret of workplace promotion: to be able to pick up the conversation when chatting with the leader, but after experiencing two incidents, he found that chatting with the leader is not simple, and chatting with the leader to catch the conversation actually has two connotations:
First, when chatting with the leader, we should think about our work, have ideas, and have suggestions and inspiration for the leader, instead of complaining and only putting forward opinions without solutions.
Some division chiefs only talk about their own work when chatting with the president, and even the affairs of their mother-in-law and mother cannot enter the eyes of the leaders at all, and the leaders feel that chatting with such subordinates is a waste of time and life. When chatting with the leader, we should know what the leader thinks? However, it does not mean that we must say good things along with the leader, and some middle-level cadres blindly follow the leader's words with the leader, but in fact the leader does not like it. You must have your own ideas, even if they are not the consensus of the leaders.
The second is to know the leader's hobbies and living habits when chatting with the leader.
We often see some middle-level business ability is not good, the education is not high, and even the character is average, but they have been repeatedly promoted, so you feel indignant, you feel that the leadership is unfair. But in fact, it is the result of these people's efforts to chat with the leader in life and be able to catch the conversation.
For example, because Deputy Director Ling did not understand the president's living habits and preferences for entertaining guests, he naturally did not know where the Cheshui House was? What was the Cheshui House? Naturally, he could not catch the leader's words when he was receiving some specific entertainment and reception.
Later, after Deputy Director Ling went to the field to become Vice President Ling, an administrative section chief of the branch said that the love and living habits of each bank-level leader were well understood, except for Vice President Ling, and as a result, the administrative section chief was quickly promoted to assistant to the director of the office and deputy director.
After Deputy Director Ling was later promoted to the general manager of the head office, he found that most of his deputy general managers did not go home during the Spring Festival, so that his wife and children would either go home for the New Year or travel abroad, and he would send local products at home according to the preferences of each of the main leaders of the bank, such as eggplant peppers and tomatoes from Xinjiang to the simple chairman, organic millet organic vinegar and Pingyao beef from Shanxi to the chairman of the board of supervisors with a gentle personality, and French cosmetics to the dashing female president, saying that it was brought to the leaders when his wife and children went abroad to play in France。 As a result, the deputy general manager was soon promoted to general manager of an important department, and later to director. Almost all the vice presidents don't look down on the ability of this deputy general manager, but they just can't stop the pace of promotion, which is a later story.
Therefore, there are two major connotations of workplace promotion: being able to talk to the leader at work and be able to catch the words of the leader, or being able to connect with the leader and catch the words of the leader in life.
The third important point is that everyone's choice path in the workplace is different, and the outcome is naturally different, the key is to see how you choose
As mentioned earlier, there are two major connotations of workplace promotion: being able to talk to the leader at work and be able to catch the words of the leader, or being able to connect with the leader and catch the words of the leader in life. All people may say that if you can talk to the leader at work and in life, then the workplace is not about to take off? Definitely, there are indeed such people and such things in reality, and some people are promoted to very high positions.
However, for most people, they do not have the ability to catch the phone on both sides, nor do they have the conditions to catch the phone on both sides, for example, Deputy Director Ling is unable to catch the phone with the branch president in life due to the limited opportunities to contact the branch president. Therefore, how to choose must be based on your own conditions and possibilities.
Because of his own personality and the characteristics of less contact with the president, Deputy Director Ling can only choose to talk to the leader in business, and this is originally Deputy Director Ling's specialty, plus he likes to learn and think, and has always been appreciated by the leader, although he can not be regarded as a confidant, but he is still constantly reused, and has been promoted to the director, and later was recommended as the vice president of the foreign branch. During his tenure as vice president of the branch, he was promoted to the president of another branch that had been newly established for three years because of the appreciation he received in reporting to the president and chairman of the board of directors.
During his tenure as branch president, it was the mainland regulators who emphasized the need to strengthen the construction of banks' compliance teams and required banks to set up independent compliance departments, and many people, especially branch presidents and vice presidents, ignored this issue, after all, it was only a matter for the head office. However, President Ling felt that this might be related to the future organizational construction of the branch, and the most important logic was: What is the relationship between compliance and auditing? Because at that time, all banks had independent audit departments, and a lot of compliance business and management were undertaken by the audit department.
President Ling has been thinking about this question for a long time, and later figured it out: compliance runs through the whole process of operation and management, while audit is only to audit and punish the results of business management. For this reason, President Ling also wrote an article. Coincidentally, one day, the head office called Ling Xiao to talk about a business matter, and after the conversation, by the way, the difference between compliance and audit caused him confusion, Ling Xiao directly told her the conclusion and said that he would send her an article he wrote tomorrow. The president was very much in favor of Ling Xiao's idea, and said to the people around him that among all the branch presidents, only Ling Xiao had something in his head. Since then, the president has often chatted with Ling Xiao when he encounters some business problems, and the president has also been very active in helping Ling Xiao with the problems he encounters in business.
Another branch manager couldn't catch up when chatting with the leader, although he did not lose the position of president, but it was difficult for the branch to develop. The reason is that the head office has just issued a document to reduce a kind of business, and the branch president feels that the impact on his branch is too great, so he directly and clearly objected to it when he called the president, thinking that the documents issued by the head office are extremely unreasonable and should be treated separately according to the situation of each branch. Later, when the branch president reported to the president, it was difficult to get the support of the head office when he encountered some business problems.
The same thing happened to President Ling, because this kind of business also had a great impact on President Ling's branch, but when he was able to talk to the president on the phone, Ling Xiao first felt that the policy requirements of the head office were reasonable, and it was an inevitable trend in the adjustment of the bank's business structure, and the branch would resolutely implement it. However, due to the nature of the business structure of the branch, it may take a period of time to buffer and gradually achieve the goal, and the president is also requested to support it. The governor said it was understandable.
The workplace is the rivers and lakes, and it is not so easy to be promoted in the workplace. But the workplace is also sophisticated, and it is not so difficult to be promoted, the key is to see if you have enough ability. There can be two kinds of this: dialogue with leaders in business and dialogue with leaders in life. If you have one, you are not far from being promoted. But the more important factor is that you can't do what you want, the key is whether you have the conditions and qualities. What factors did you get promoted?
