Everyone wants everything to go according to their plan, but there are many things that don't go as planned.Therefore, there are often disputes between people, and because of this, there are many frustrated people in the world.With a broad mind, people will have the ability to judge things, know what can be done and what can't be done, and make their own plans based on this, the so-called "know what can be done and do it".

With a broad mind, one can accept everything openly and humbly without being influenced by external things.A person with a broad mind can abandon selfishness, can follow truth and justice, and has a sense of security, so he can not be affected by anything and maintain a generous spirit at any time.

A broad mind can also avoid unnecessary confrontation and disputes, so that people can maintain a peaceful state of mind.As long as everyone has a broad mind, they will be able to eliminate conflicts and disputes and live a happy life.With a broad mind, the causes of disputes will be reduced.With a broad mind, there will be no disputes caused by emotional disharmony.Because a person with a broad mind will not be emotional, nor will he intentionally use words to stimulate or provoke others.Even if you accidentally say something that hurts others, you will resolve it with a broad mind.

A broad-minded person will always deal with difficulties with a calm, calm, and rational attitude.

Therefore, an excellent boss should have a broad mind.

849. Have the ability to appreciate the personality and characteristics of others

Tolerance is firstly manifested in the acceptance of human personality, allowing others to have different personalities, hobbies and needs from oneself, not requiring others to be the same as oneself, and not being critical of others. The boss must have a tolerant heart and the ability to appreciate the characteristics of others .

In a leadership group, everyone's personality is different.In terms of personality, there may be introversion and extroversion, and each has its own strengths and weaknesses in temperament and ability.Therefore, some people may be bold and quick in doing things, have a strong personality, and be efficient in handling things, but they have no resilience.Some people may be thoughtful and meticulous in doing things, and have a flexible personality, but they are not efficient.If you can see each other's characteristics and cooperate with each other in the leadership work, you can make up for each other's shortcomings, do things well, and have a good relationship with subordinates, making the leadership collective appear full of vitality.The well-proportioned personality and complementary abilities will make people feel a tacit understanding of the leadership team and have a sense of appreciation for the leadership style.Because good cooperation weakens everyone's shortcomings and highlights individual advantages, the charisma of the leadership group will be greatly enhanced.

Therefore, the boss has a spirit of tolerance and compatibility, which will allow everyone in the group to give full play to their individuality without affecting the collective development.Just like a good gardener, in his garden there will be a hundred flowers blooming and competing for beauty.When people visit here, they have a pleasing feeling and are full of respect for the gardener's management skills, because he not only cultivates a variety of landscapes, but also makes each scene develop reasonably, preventing any individual from destroying the overall scene.

If the boss does not understand other people's personalities and cannot accommodate the characteristics and requirements of others, the relationship between people will become inharmonious, and even cracks will appear, which will bring serious consequences.

850. Always Maintain Your Own Demeanor

When facing the weaknesses of followers, the boss should deal with them in a tactful manner, and should not use rough and tough methods.The boss should maintain his demeanor at all times.

If you are the boss of a company, when firing a subordinate, you should remember that firing a subordinate is not a very interesting thing, and being fired is even more boring.But we've made it a habit to get this out of the way as quickly as possible, usually along the lines of: "Sit down, sir, this season is over and we don't seem to be getting any more." More work is entrusted to you. Of course, after all, you also understand that you are just asking for help when we are the busiest..." These words brought disappointment and a sense of abandonment to the other party.Most of them have been engaged in similar jobs all their lives. Of course, they will not have special love for the company that abandoned them so quickly, and they will even be full of hatred. After leaving, they may become the confidant of the original company.

Responsive bosses should consider a slightly more diplomatic and considerate way of removing redundant personnel from the company, such as calling everyone who will be removed into the office after careful consideration of their performance in the previous quarter," Mr. , your job performance is very good, that time we cooperated with the company was really a very difficult task. You encountered some difficulties, but handled them well, but... (talk about the difficulties that the company had to lay off) we I hope you know that the company is proud of you. You know a lot about this industry. No matter where you work, you will have a bright future. The company has confidence in you and supports you. We hope you don't forget."

The results of it?Obviously they'll feel a lot better about being fired when they're gone.They don't feel abandoned.They know that if the company has a job for them, the company will keep them.And when the company needs them again, they will come back with deep affection.

A self-cultivated boss should deal with the weaknesses of his subordinates in a graceful manner, instead of "killing one to warn others" to establish prestige. Even if we are right and others are absolutely wrong, we will also lose face because of embarrassing others. ruined his self-esteem.A legendary French writer gave the most accurate interpretation of this: "We have no right to do or say anything to degrade a person's self-esteem. What matters is not what I think of him, but what he thinks of himself, Hurting another's self-esteem is a crime."

851. The Boss Must Understand "Confused Learning"

To behave in the world, it is better to be shrewd or confused. Everyone has different answers.But since we talk about the confusion of leadership, we naturally hope that it is better for leaders to be "confused". Of course, this kind of confusion is not really muddled, but we hope that the boss can learn some wise and stupid skills to avoid some self-defeating embarrassment.

In Chinese history, the most confused person is the prime minister, and the team of prime ministers seems to be a place where high-level confused talents are concentrated.People often say?Being a prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach, but being a prime minister requires tolerance, and tolerance requires tolerance.Tolerance is actually the original meaning of "confused", and it is "confused" when it is mixed with muddy water.Therefore, proper confusion can also be said to be the professional skill of an official.

The so-called "confused learning" of the boss is about the wisdom of the boss's life, which includes the comprehensive manifestation of knowledge, emotion and intention. In terms of "knowledge", "confused" is to admit the limitations of people's understanding, not too much Rely on and show off your own intelligence.Don't rely on small wisdom, don't play tricks, don't be competitive, it contains great wisdom, hide ingenuity from clumsiness, go hand in hand, rule by doing nothing, be cautious in words and deeds, make the best of the situation, strive for excellence, be good at skills, accept advice with an open mind, learn from others' strengths, and be prepared for danger in times of peace , leaving room for other categories.

In terms of "emotion", it means living in peace and contentment, forbearance and concessions, and relieving greed. It includes keeping one's duty, not forcing things, being indifferent to fame and fortune, being peaceful and far-sighted, being optimistic and knowing one's destiny, etc.

In terms of "meaning", it means being indifferent to one's ambitions, standing upright, keeping integrity, including not being surprised by honor or disgrace, being strict with self-discipline and being lenient towards others, being upright and clean, and so on.Of course, the scope of confusion is very wide, and it needs to be understood and experienced by you as the boss.

852. It is difficult to retain talents if you cannot tolerate them
Most people pursue a good environment in their work. If the leader cannot tolerate others' faults and has prejudices against others, it will inevitably lead to unpleasant cooperation between superiors and subordinates.Moreover, due to the leadership, he was unable to get an appointment for a long time, and the future of such development was slim, and the subordinates would suddenly think of leaving. "If you don't stay here, you have a place to stay." In reality, it is very common for people to change jobs.Lieber tolerated Owens abroad and became a good story in the business.
