I still remember what our old leaders told us when I first entered the workplace: “In the workplace, if you only work hard, it’s best not to enter this company. What I want to say is that in a fiercely competitive workplace , Effort is only the barrier to entry, nothing more."
We didn't understand whatsaid at the time. I always thought that if a person works hard enough, what else can't be done? Effort = success, this is the formula I have always believed in in the early years.
But as I spend more time in the workplace, I have gradually discovered that "working hard" is obviously not enough. In today's workplace, there are too many people who work hard, and one grabs a lot of them, but the gap between people has not narrowed, but has been further widened.
It can be seen that hard work should not be the advantage that we have always overemphasized. Hard work should be the most basic workplace rule that is spontaneous from the inside out.
's recently hit workplace drama "Ordinary Glory", tells the story of a young white Sun Yiqiu (played by Bai Jingting) who has no academic qualifications and cannot rely on his background to enter an investment company. He used his own hard work in the early stage to rise up.
The reason whyattracted me is that besides Sun Yiqiu's setting, another point is that my favorite actor, Zhao Youting, is also the main male lead of the double male lead TV series.
The Sun Yiqiu in the playis a career young man with only a high school degree. He has worked as a salesperson, has delivered takeaways, and has also been a driver; yes, such a person with a "normal" resume, because of his mysterious background , Was assigned to work in a large investment finance company.
Bai Jingting's career Xiaobai Sun Yiqiu played in the play, indeed played the embarrassment and bewilderment of a new company. But in the play Sun Yiqiu's various behaviors, as well as the words that I will work hard to prove my ability in front of my boss, are they also like you just entering the workplace?
01
A workplace that only says "work hard" is far from enough
When you first enter the workplace, you believe that "people will conquer the sky" and that hard work will be able to get the maximum return; when you use hard work as the cornerstone of your beliefs, you will find that many things are not just hard work to achieve what you want The desired result.
In, Sun Yiqiu had no academic qualifications or ability, and relied on his mother’s relationship to enter a large investment company as an intern. Such an investment Xiaobai who had a mediocre resume and even didn’t even know what a "unicorn" meant, at this time was just relying on Can you get what you want by working hard?
I think this is almost impossible in the real workplace.
, Jinchen Capital is a relatively large investment company with rigorous division of business departments and numerous interns. In such a cruel competition, I really can’t believe that an investment novice who really knows nothing can stay with his own efforts. At the end.
Although we say that relationships in the workplace are very important, relationships can only pave the way for us at best, and cannot provide a larger stage for our future career development. At this point, serving the public is also a very necessary factor.
The TV series "Ordinary Glory" Luo Sir probably watched the first two episodes. Sun Yiqiu’s performance in the workplace is indeed disappointing to me. He knows nothing and knows nothing. What’s more terrifying is that you even I will never ask.
There is such a plot in. I remember a lot. Sun Yiqiu came to the printing room to copy a stack of documents, but saw that the printer could not operate at all. At this time, another intern walked in. Sun Yiqiu watched her do something. Don't ask, in the end, the other party took the initiative to teach him how to operate the printer. With such a plot, Sun Yiqiu will not "live" the second episode in a real workplace.
In the workplace, why just say "effort" is not enough?
Speaking of this, I remembered that when I was just an intern, I once accompanied the company executive to meet customers. On the way home at 12 o’clock in the evening, the supervisor told me earnestly: "You know this city is still not sleeping. How many people are working? They are all working hard and hard enough like you, but how many can climb to a high position in the end? Do you know how many interns our company has in this period?How many places will be reserved later? In any company, you have to remember that if you just work hard, you will never be able to fight those who work harder than you. What is more important than hard work is to think more, use more brains, master methods, and constantly summarize self-learning. The greatest competitiveness in the workplace. ”
This passage, I have been remembering to this day. It also prompted me to ask for help if I didn’t understand, communicate more and learn from others’ working methods.
In the workplace, I never believe in chicken soup, because it is for people who need to drink chicken soup. We have to learn to see reality, focus on feedback and improve ourselves, which is far more important than hard work in the workplace.
Many people are working hard, but very few people are good at thinking.
2. In addition to "hard work", what else does the workplace need?
Sun Yiqiu can rely on hard work because behind him is the true boss of Jinchen Capital. But for more of us in the workplace, in an unrelated workplace, we cannot get what we want just by hard work.
As I said in the previous article, in the workplace, hard work is the same as that of a person with a degree. Everyone in the workplace will admit that he has worked hard enough and worked hard enough.
My distant cousin changed his job a few days ago. He called me to ask my opinion. This time he was doing telemarketing in the loan industry. He detailed how much he was on the phone. I work hard. I have to make more than one hundred calls every day. When I get home at nine o'clock in the evening, I still have to talk back. I deal with customer objections until more than 11 o'clock. After the meeting, I can only sleep on the phone.
I have finished listening, but it is really hard to give him any advice. I can only say that this job is OK and suitable for young people.
When a person puts effort on his lips, even if you are really working hard, but others will hear it, that’s what happened. I once advised my cousin to go to an Internet company to do sales. He learned a lot and quickly, but his cousin had no experience and could not refuse.
As an audience member, my cousin still has many ways to go in his career.
Nowadays, striving to be one of the "common skills" necessary for the workplace is no longer enough to serve as a workplace competitiveness. In addition to hard work, method is also very important.
But if I ask you, what is the method? It is estimated that many people cannot answer.
What ismethod? In my opinion, the method is a kind of small road, a short-cut road. Although not known by many people, the small road is indeed a faster way than the big road.
But everyone's method may be different. When you are facing something unknown, how do you learn? Is this the fastest way for you to learn? When I find this, I think I found the "method" in the workplace.
Themethod is the most convenient way of working in study and work. This requires us to explore a set of effective and fast working methods of our own. For the same hour, your productivity is faster than others, then your method is more effective than others.
What seems esoteric is actually that simple.
But how do we know if our method is effective enough? As far as you are concerned, when you are doing something or learning a certain point of knowledge, it is difficult for you to assess whether you are most effective in studying and working in the morning or evening. In other words, it is also a difficult problem to check whether the method is effective.
At this time, we need regular self-feedback and summary. Many companies have the habit of holding monthly meetings and quarterly meetings, and it is also for self-feedback and summary, to make up for their strengths. This is the point of self-feedback.
In the workplace, hard work alone is not enough. We also need to find methods and verify the feasibility of the methods, regularly self-feedback, summarize our mistakes and propose improvements, and think more independently. This is the greatest competitiveness of the workplace.
's hard work is worthy of our affirmation, but in this era when everyone is working hard, hard work alone is not enough. This is the same for novices in the workplace or old drivers in the workplace.
Competitiveness in the workplace cannot be accomplished overnight. It requires us to accumulate for a long time, find the right method, and constantly self-feedback and think., And finally get the result you want.
Sun Yiqiu, who can only "work hard", is obviously far from surviving in this workplace. If we want to go further, there are still many places to learn. The price behind each step is far from the word "effort" and can be easily included.
