The Director'S Advice Is Impractical. How Do You Deal With It?

2008/7/14 11:25:00 41768

Is senior executive's decision not practical for front-line employees?

Faced with the decision of big boss flying around, it often makes people feel confused. How should the grass roots staff respond?

If there are unsuitable strategies, what channels or ways should we communicate upward?

The policy of high level is changing at times, sometimes it is a mess and hard to resist. But in view of this question, from another angle, it also tests whether you can have the same thinking mode in the decision-making process as the senior executive.

Do you have broad vision and magnanimity in the face of business?

Don't be in a hurry to refuse. Don't just complain that you can't do it. Ask if this is the final decision that has been finalized, or just provide the reference value for creativity.

If you only provide creative suggestions for thinking, you need not be too nervous or even depressed. Maybe this idea will add extra points to your work.

In the same way, you can analyze, evaluate and synthesize your own ideas and high-level proposals, and propose a new plan.

"R.A.C.E" -- 4 steps of thinking

If it is the final decision made by the supervisor, it will make us feel at a loss because we have not participated in the decision-making process, but I believe that the generation of the usual orders is the result of thinking and solutions jointly discussed by the high level.

In fact, you can be calm and hypothetical, assuming the problem, standing at the boss or high-level position, thinking about their way of dealing with affairs. This is a good learning, training oneself has the supervisor's thinking mode, is the very good channel to enhance oneself ability.

In such a situation, I suggest that you consider the following 4 steps of "R.A.C.E.":

1.Research: to find information, you can use questions and checks. There are some antecedents and clues.

2.Analysis: analyze and analyze all information, and can also re submit plans and suggestions.

3.Communication: communicate with your top executive or boss.

4.Evaluation: participate in the implementation and evaluate the effect.

If you have enough understanding, if you agree with the supervisor's idea, do it with all your heart and soul. You can even integrate your own ideas, make recommendations to your superiors, and make adjustments in the plan.

Make good use of communication channels

A company with a system usually can make use of existing pipelines for communication and coordination. Don't forget that between the grassroots and the top level, there are also middle level supervisors to play the role of message communication and pmission.

In a company with a hierarchical management and a clear division of labor, we must pay attention to the overall system and office ethics, and try not to do leapfrog reporting.

Some corporate culture is more sensitive to such a practice, and it also means that your superior does not perform his functions well, which is not your original intention.

In addition, we can make use of the regular opinions of the company. Before the meeting, we will produce preliminary ideas through discussions and discussions in the departments, and the chances of successful proposals are relatively large.

If your supervisor is not there, or if there is an urgent situation, you must deal with it immediately. Before preparing to report to the higher level, you can call the supervisor to tell the supervisor's current situation or communicate with E-mail.

When sending the mail to the top floor, don't forget to send a copy to your immediate supervisor. This way is pparent and open, so that everyone can grasp the current situation.

Stand in One "" s Shoes

Always remember to let the upper level understand your problems and communicate with others. It is important to let him stand in your perspective. But also let the other side think that you are also "Stand in my shoes." (standing in my perspective) so that communication will have a common understanding and will not be reduced to every word.

In the two roles of decision making and execution, we should listen more and communicate more.

Decisions usually have room for discussion, not just rejection, nor acceptance.

Don't be afraid to reflect your thoughts with the supervisor. In this process, you are showing your opportunities.

Executives and supervisors can see who is capable of doing great things.

People who think and ask questions are what the company values.
