At work, you sometimes run into this kind of problem: everyone comes to give you advice, but you don't know who to listen to or how to move forward.
The person giving the opinion is just expressing his opinion and will not take responsibility for you. Moreover, I must point out a typical mistake that I learned in this scenario: to take the words of the big leader and press others in order to save trouble.
I offer a solution to the problem. You need to take the initiative to build an environment where people can speak one at a time.
I call this method the field method, and the key step is two-step.
- The first step is to collect opinions in a specific, public field.
In the past, you were reactive to other people's opinions, but not anymore – you can organize a meeting and bring in all the colleagues you can think of who are relevant to it, and let people share their ideas together. You can also create a new project group outside of your day-to-day work group, bring relevant colleagues in, and discuss the plan with everyone in the group.
In many cases, colleagues say different things, but they mean the same thing. In the past, you felt that you couldn't cope with it, because everyone talked about it sentence by sentence, and when the opinions came to you, they all "exploded". But now, if everybody were to discuss in a predetermined field, they might follow up on what someone else had to say, "Yes, I'm basically the same as ×××, I only have one thing to add......"
Creating a field is actually restricting the thinking and mentality of colleagues to put forward opinions. To put it bluntly, everyone is in a meeting or group, and they are all dealing with the same thing, so they can't look at each other?
It's much more efficient than giving your opinion one by one in private. Because everyone is in a fixed field, they will look at each other and avoid repetitive opinions.
- The second step is to promote the new plan in a specific and public field.
Why is there such a step? Even if you take the initiative and modify the plan based on the feedback gathered, it is unlikely that this version of the plan will pass in one round. So, be prepared to double-check, tell yourself that this is likely to be a protracted battle, and then discuss new options with everyone.
You can post the new proposal to the program, or you can continue to report on the proposal in a meeting format, such as saying, "This is a new proposal that has been revised based on the last comments from the leaders." Please note that ×× has made major adjustments based on your opinions. I would like to take a moment of time for you to give a 20-minute presentation. ”
Seeing this, you should understand that the field method is nothing more than repeating two steps until the plan is completely finalized. And the biggest advantage of it is that the process of the task is completely in your own hands, and it is up to you to decide when to convene everyone for discussion and when to report on new plans.
When you can manage and aggregate everyone's opinions, you won't have to suffer the loss of endless changes.
