Why do you want to be a "heavyweight" figure in the eyes of leaders?

In a talented and competitive office, leaders usually don't come to you automatically. Only by becoming a "heavyweight" can we attract the attention of leaders. Maybe you have a smart brain and an absolutely unique idea, but if you hold the traditional concept of "the fragrance of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley", you will never let the leaders see your value and importance. Because the leader is facing people inside and outside the office, big and small things, he can't pay attention to an ordinary employee who is silent all day. If you want to be a "heavyweight" figure in the eyes of leaders, you must actively strive for various opportunities to show that you are a "rough diamond" that can be carved in time.

Bai Juyi, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, was famous for "Talented Persons and Beautiful Women" before he became famous all over the world, but he was unknown for a long time. Bai Juyi first arrived in Chang 'an, because he was not famous, so he wanted to create an opportunity for himself. So he volunteered to find Gu Kuang, a social celebrity at that time.

Gu Kuang had never heard of Bai Juyi's name, so he sarcastically said, "Chang 'an is expensive, so it's not easy to live here." Bai Juyi was not discouraged, but dedicated his poem Farewell to Ancient Grass to Gu Kuang. As soon as Gu Kuang saw the first two sentences: "Grass rushes across the plain and comes and goes with the seasons", he immediately knew that he was not an idle man, so he took Bai Juyi in and introduced him to his friends. Soon, Bai Juyi became famous in Chang 'an and finally became a great poet.

If you are really a piece of rough jade, you must find opportunities for leaders to discover and carve it yourself, so that you can rise in the workplace. However, expressing oneself also needs to grasp the discretion. In addition to choosing the right time, we should also do it without exaggeration or affectation. For example, in a meeting, you should consciously express your opinions to attract the attention of the leaders, but avoid boasting and exaggerating; You should express your views clearly in accurate language, but you should not overstep your position and offend the authority of the leader; You should seize the opportunity to show your specialty in a certain aspect at a critical moment, but don't be arrogant.

Su Hui has profound writing skills and published many articles during her college years. After graduation, she was able to enter the planning department of a well-known advertising company to do copywriting planning.

Six months after Su Hui went to work, the manager of the planning department resigned for some reason, so the general manager decided to find someone among the employees in the planning department to take his place. In everyone's eyes, Xiang Ying, a beautiful, capable and experienced old employee, is the best candidate.

However, Su Hui thinks she is better than Xiang Ying, and besides her qualifications, she is more qualified for the position of planning department manager. So, Su Hui took several sets of copywriting planned by himself and went to the general manager to be a volunteer. The general manager carefully read Su Hui's planning copy, thinking that she does have qualities that Xiang Ying does not have, and she is younger and has more development potential. After careful consideration, the general manager decided to promote Su Hui as the manager of the planning department.

If you want to be a "heavyweight" figure in the eyes of leaders, you must make yourself irreplaceable in the unit. If you have talents and resources that others don't have, this is the reason why you continue to exist in the office and get promoted, and it is also the capital for you to settle down in the workplace. If you want to be invincible in the workplace, you must have your own set of housekeeping skills.

When leaders decide to promote and reuse you, they often don't look at whether your work is good or not, or whether you have achieved many achievements in the past, but think that your talents and resources will help him and his unit in the future. As Yu said, when you are a grass, others can trample on it at will; And when you grow into a big tree, others can't shake you easily. Grass in the workplace can grow into a tree that others can't shake because it is irreplaceable.

Hu Quan is an online editor of a company. His job is to collect all kinds of posts in the online world and publish them on his own website. Because the company's website has just been made, it is necessary to enrich the content first. Hu Quan repeated the simple actions of copying and pasting all day. Although the work is a bit monotonous, it is good to have a rice bowl in your hand. Hu Quan never used his brain to make the website more creative, and muddled along with the attitude of coping with the past, and his ability didn't improve.

Later, the company leaders focused on website construction and hired several website planners and professional writers. Therefore, Hu Quan's work is insignificant. Others almost shared most of his works. Hu Quan does nothing most of the time every day. He has a hunch that his time in the company may not be long. Sure enough, one day the leader called Hu Quan to the office, said a good word and fired him.

Contrary to Hu Quan, the hero in the next story is an irreplaceable employee, who firmly holds his job.

In a famous five-star hotel, there is a little chef. He is not handsome, he looks simple and honest, and anyone can say something about him. He always accepts him with a smile and never contradicts him. He has nothing special to make people shine at the moment, and he can't cook any big dishes on the table. He is always helping others in the kitchen. But he will make a very special dessert: put the pulp of two apples in one apple, and the apple will look particularly full, but from the appearance, you can't see that the two apples are put together and taste particularly sweet.

This dessert was discovered by chance by a lady who had stayed in this hotel for a long time. After she tasted it, she was full of praise and specially made an appointment with the little chef. Although this lady has lived in the most expensive room in the hotel for a long time, she stays here for less than one month in a year. However, every time she comes here, she always orders the apple dessert made by this little chef.

A certain proportion of employees in hotels are laid off every year, especially when the economy is in recession, and the scale of layoffs will be even greater. However, this humble little chef is very calm every year, never facing the crisis of layoffs, and has been given multiple raises. Later, the president of the hotel told the little chef that the lady was the most important guest of the hotel and the little chef was the most indispensable employee of the hotel.

If you want to rise in the workplace, you must, like this little chef, strive to develop your own specialties and enhance your irreplaceability, thus becoming a "heavyweight" figure in the eyes of leaders.
