If the leader asks you to buy things for him, should you charge him or not? If you really want to do it, how should it be more appropriate? Clever employees do this, and they won't suffer if they are appreciated by leaders.
It's perfectly normal for leaders to ask our employees to buy things for them in life, but what's not easy is that they don't know whether they are for public or private purposes, or whether they are paying you privately or going to reimburse you, so many of us will be entangled. To resolve the entanglement, we must first understand the final direction of this thing, What is the final use. If the things you buy for him are ostensibly for the public, there is no problem with reimbursement. But if you buy something to serve him personally, in this case, we also need to see the specific situation. It depends on whether the quota is large or small, whether the number of times is high or low. If the quota is small and the number of times is relatively small, Quan Dang let himself win a performance opportunity in front of the leader, so don't ask the leader for money in this case. As a leader with authority, we usually treat us well. Here we take this opportunity to show off.
If it is very expensive, it is more than you can bear, or the leader is always like this, even if you think there is a problem with the leader's product itself, he always asks people below him to buy things for him, and does not give money to people below him every time, nor does he go to reimbursement. In this case, if you can give a reasonable reason for reimbursement, then go to reimbursement. If you can't, then pay attention to how to communicate with the leadership. Here are two suggestions for you.
Suggestion 1: detour reminding method
That is, we can't directly ask the leader for money. Too direct is not good. The handling method without EQ will make the leader feel embarrassed. It may make the leader feel that you have no EQ, keep a distance from you, and gradually you will become marginalized in the company. We can use circuitous and relatively high EQ methods to remind him. For example, the leader asked you to buy a set of valuable tea for him. After a period of time, the leader may forget, so you can buy another tea set brush for the leader, Take this tea set brush to remind the leader, "Leader, how was the tea you asked me to buy for you the other day? If I can't, I'll contact the merchant again. If I can't, we can't change it. This is the tea set brush I bought for you." This is a very tactful way to remind the leader in disguise. The leader will pay you later when he remembers it.
Recommendation 2: Transposition expression
From the leadership's perspective, we give him an idea and propose a plan, which makes it difficult for him to refute and agree with your plan. In this way, you can add money to your proposal and plan, which will be more acceptable to the other party. For example, if the leader often asks you to buy breakfast for him, you can say to him, "Leader, I think you are also very busy at work. In this way, I will buy breakfast for you every morning, and you will transfer it to Alipay every month." This is to give the leader an idea, propose a plan, and the leader agrees. It is also reasonable for you to ask him again at the end of the month.
Most leaders will not let people below buy things without paying. There is a certain pattern in the leadership position. Most of the time, they just don't have a good solution, or they forget too many things. We can remind them in the above way.
