In the workplace, truly smart people will pay attention to these five small details when dealing with leaders!
1. In terms of dressing style, try to be consistent with your leader. Leaders like people who have the same style as them. The same is true in the workplace. For example, if your boss likes to wear casual clothes, don’t always dress yourself too formally, especially in front of your boss. Of course, the prerequisite for maintaining a consistent style is that the leader cannot be overshadowed or overshadowed the leader. Otherwise, it will be too much.
2. The leader’s position must be addressed accurately. Each unit and company may have different names for leaders. If you are new to a place and are not sure how to address the leader, first call the leader by position, and then look at what other old colleagues call them, so that there will be no mistakes.
3. In the workplace, when entering someone else’s office, you must knock first, regardless of whether the door is open, ajar or closed. Especially in the leader’s office, one must obtain permission from the leader before entering. Moreover, when knocking on the door of the leader’s office, one should rhythmically knock three times. Knocking once is easy to ignore. Knocking twice means urging. As for knocking three times, if the leader doesn’t respond, don’t knock. The leader is probably doing something important. In addition, after entering the leader’s office, if there are other people, greet them with a smile. Even if you don’t know them, you should nod and wait for the leader’s instructions.
4. Go to the leader’s office to report on your work, or the leader asks you to go to the office to discuss something. Remember to bring a pen and notebook to record important things at any time to avoid omissions and to show your professional attitude in front of the leader. When communicating with leaders, sit on a chair with your body slightly forward. Your sitting posture should not be too casual, and you should not make any bad little moves, such as picking your nose, crossing your legs, etc. If you are using a mobile phone chat tool to report work to your boss, try to send text messages. For important matters, make a phone call and try not to send voice messages.
5. When traveling by car with your boss, if there is a full-time driver, you should sit in the passenger seat and let your boss sit in the right seat in the back. This is a distinguished position. If your boss is driving, you have no choice. You must sit in the passenger seat and not in the back seat. Otherwise, in the eyes of others, they will think you are the boss. However, if you go out to meet a customer and the customer comes to receive you, you should let the leader sit in the passenger seat and sit in the back seat to facilitate communication between the leader and the customer.
In short, in the workplace, truly smart people pay great attention to details when dealing with leaders.
