If the leader makes a mistake, how should employees remind him?

Xiao Chen is a personnel assistant, helping to manage the personnel work of the branch. Just one day before May Day, the HR manager submitted the latest employee compensation system for approval. Before leaving work, the manager privately sent a message to Chen Xiao through WeChat: "Xiao Chen, the new employee compensation system will be officially used after May Day. Remember to come back on May Day to implement the system. The process has been optimized to facilitate the adjustment of branch managers. " However, before Xiao Chen replied to the manager, the manager sent a notice to the branch staff in the working group "After the company's strategic adjustment, the branch will implement a new round of employee compensation system tomorrow, please adjust it as required." Xiao Chen looked at it carefully. The manager informed me at the wrong time.

It should start after May 1. He immediately asked the manager in the group: "The leader will start the new system after May 1." I sent an email to Chen Xiao and immediately received a reply from the manager, thanking him for reminding me. However, at the same time, Xiao Chen received a personal letter from the manager: "Xiao Chen, if you have any questions next time, please ask me privately and don't answer in the group." Chen Xiao immediately realized that he had made a mistake and foolishly "lost" the leader in the group, which directly challenged the authority of the leader and made the leader lose face in front of the employees. In the workplace, it is very important to do your job well, but you should also understand the world. No shortage of gold, no one is perfect, everyone will make mistakes, not to mention the other party is your leader. Don't be silly, just point out that people with high emotional intelligence can do the following two things, not lose face in front of leaders, but also keep their jobs.

1. Weather+location = superposition effect

2. Harmony with people: leaders have "personality" and need to adapt to people.

Time+place = superposition effect Zeng Guofan's family motto: Yang Haoting, but the rules are too private. In fact, the right time and place generally exist at the same time, and the right time+place = superposition effect.

Xiao Chen pointed out that he had made a big mistake. This error is caused by a notice about time, and timeliness is very important. Xiao Chen can basically choose to point out the mistakes at the first time. However, Chen Xiao deliberately chose to take the lead in the group, and in front of all subordinate employees, he questioned that the notice of his direct leader was wrong, which made the leader lose face. This kind of behavior not only shakes the trust of leaders in the hearts of employees, but also makes employees feel that they can challenge the majesty of leaders. People care about face, especially bosses and leaders. Pointing out their mistakes at inappropriate times and occasions is like "hitting him in the face". Losing face is a big deal. From now on, they will think that you disrespect them and threaten their authority. If you meet a "narrow-minded" leader, you will be given a hard memory, or even a hard memory.

Therefore, when you find the mistakes of leaders, unless it is very important and necessary, it is best not to point out their mistakes in public immediately. As a subordinate, you can communicate privately to make yourself more acceptable. You can tell them politely or privately. Only in this state can leaders communicate with you calmly and accept your reminders or opinions without psychological humiliation. Just like after Chen Faxian made a mistake, it would not be a well-known farce if he could send a private letter to the leader instead of reconfirming the system time online or communicating face to face in the leader's office.

If you find that the leader is wrong, don't be silly and point out that people with high emotional intelligence are like this.

People and harmony: leaders have "personality" and need to be tailored for people.

Not all leaders accept that their subordinates point out their mistakes and think and analyze them from an objective perspective. Some leaders would rather never go back than admit that they were wrong. When you find the mistakes of the leaders, don't point them out blindly. First of all, you should judge whether your leader is willing to accept his mistakes. Counseling should have symptoms, treat different leaders and tell them in different ways.

The first type: open-minded, able to listen to the opinions of subordinates and adopt the way of asking questions for knowledge. This way expresses your affirmation and trust in the leader, respects the authority of the leader, faces the leader with a consulting and guiding attitude, and reminds the leader of his own problems by innuendo. In fact, the leaders of Xiao Chen belong to leaders who can adopt the opinions of their subordinates. If Xiao Chen can indirectly remind the leader by asking for instructions, such as "Manager, is the system execution time based on what you sent to the team today? Does the system implementation optimization process after May Day need to be approved today? " By asking for instructions from the leader, the leader is indirectly reminded to pay attention to the discrepancy of the notification time.

Second, the desire for power is heavy, and it is difficult to tolerate subordinates questioning their authority and letting go. This kind of leadership belongs to the type of disobedience, and serious power is above everything else. So, don't give advice blindly. Your loyal protest will only be heard by him. Therefore, in the face of such a leader, it is "from" rather than "against", and you don't have to be right or wrong for this. You have to play the role of an executor, so that it has self-knowledge in the process of action and realizes that the source of mistakes is the decision maker.

Finally, in the workplace, learn to be a man and learn to do things in a roundabout way.

When you feel that your leader has made a mistake, don't point it out in a hurry. As a leader, he may stand in his position and have his considerations. Don't deny the leader easily, even think that "the leader is stupid to do so." However, you should realize that you are not in your position, you have not reached your height, and you have different views on things. Therefore, not all the mistakes of leaders need to be pointed out, but they must be pointed out. Remember the first step, be familiar with the road and maintain the dignity of leaders.
