We all want our leadership to be reliable, inclusive... and ambiguous, and because of this, leaders are often under great pressure. Most leaders also tend to succumb to this expectation, and only a few people are willing to be "black-faced", after all, everyone wants to be loved. However, leaders need to make difficult choices for the best interests of the team and the company. Too much peace will make leaders become lazy, inefficient, irresponsible, and even harm the interests of subordinates and even the whole enterprise.
I have seen too many such things. A few years ago, a senior executive at my company was unclear and hired the wrong person. Any kind of mistake can be made, and the best remedy is to solve the problem quickly. I urged him to dismiss the unqualified employee, but he tried to get the person on the right track. I admire him for being tireless, but he can't accept the cost of it - two months of painful and completely unnecessary running-in period.
This is an important lesson for all leaders. Only when you have a rational perspective and the ability to make difficult choices, "harmony and qi" can produce good results.
In the following situations, no matter what the leader or the others, the “harmony†approach will not bring any benefits:
1. Being deceived, you have to refuse...
Everyone is brainstorming and everyone is thinking about how to solve the problem. At this time, the leader raised an obviously absurd idea.
In this regard, everyone has no real expression of ideas, even people who are frowning. Everyone like a puppet will only nod, then mutter a few times. Yes, everyone thinks that there is no need to risk “speaking straightâ€.
In my company, refusing "good deception" is a very important part of everyday work. If an idea is unreasonable, we will consider asking the proponent to evade and discuss it separately, while respecting him.
Why are we doing this? Because there is no benefit to making everyone happy; to win the prestige of leadership, we can only fight for strength.
2, not as a leader, you have to refuse...
Many leaders prefer to stay in unsuitable positions and are not willing to mobilize them. As it turns out, there are many drawbacks.
As a leader, you must try to overcome the inertia of the comfort zone and actively bring favorable changes to your subordinates and organizations. Allowing employees to squat in inappropriate positions, especially when they obviously don't succeed in their position, often harms their subordinates.
Of course, leaders can have a good attitude and communicate with employees on an equal footing, but they must not dare to act. Leaders must resolutely and decisively help employees transition to positions where they can develop their talents and display their talents. Resolving this problem quickly will help promote the culture of the company, improve the quality and efficiency of its work, and at the same time enable the company to attract more outstanding employees.
3. Without principle leadership, you have to refuse...
If you are tolerant of those who fail to deliver on time, those who fail to complete the task on time, and those who refuse to pay, then they are condoning their mistakes and taking advantage of it. If you are overshadowed by others, it is giving others the opportunity to despise you.
Imagine the most talented, dedicated, and motivated employee of your team, and see how the mediocre and incompetent colleagues will pass through again and again. Anger and hatred will grow, morale will fall, and brain drain will become more and more serious. Think again, what do you think when loyal customers see other people easily get illegitimate benefits. Your reputation will definitely fall by a thousand miles.
Once these problems are accumulated, they are very difficult to solve. Therefore, as a leader, although you don't have to put on a cold face in order to gain the respect of everyone, you really need to set principles and standards for the company - you must also insist that everyone comply with the regulations. Setting rules can help you make quality decisions without delays, dissent, and arguments.
4, very conceited leadership, you have to refuse...
Are you too tolerant of yourself? Introspection is a powerful tool for improving leadership, but you will always forget. As you keep asking yourself, "what kind of behavior can guarantee me and the team to work the best way," you will be able to continually optimize your leadership style.
When you give your staff plenty of room and let them tell the truth, you don't have to worry about your reaction, then you will definitely get valuable opinions and quickly improve your ability to achieve extraordinary work performance.
Of course, all of this does not mean that leaders are not respectful of employees, and they are acting cold and overbearing at work. Remember, being an outstanding leader with high expectations for employees is not the same thing as a "good old man" who compromises and forbears.
Don't confuse good leaders with old people who are "good talkers."
