The idea that the boss will never treat employees as his own is not completely accurate. Although there is a certain interest relationship and power gap between the boss and employees, it does not mean that the boss will never treat employees as his own.
In some cases, the boss may regard employees as his own, such as:
1. Long term stable employees: If employees have worked in the company for many years and performed well, the boss may have trust and affection for them and regard them as his own.
2. Common values and goals: If employees and bosses share the same values and goals, the boss may establish a closer relationship with them and regard them as his own.
3. Personal charm: If employees have special personal charm, such as leadership and social skills, the boss may appreciate and like them and regard them as his own.
Of course, this does not mean that all bosses will regard employees as their own people. Because each boss has different personality and management style, some bosses may pay more attention to rules and regulations and efficiency rather than overemphasizing emotional ties.
The relationship between the boss and the employees is complex and changeable, which includes not only the interest relationship and power gap, but also the emotional connection and mutual support. In any case, employees should be dutiful and abide by the company's regulations to gain the respect and trust of the boss.
Take what you will and give it first. The same is true for employees. To make employees wholeheartedly contribute to the company and take care of the company as their own business, we must first give hope to employees, at least let everyone feel a possibility.
For example, full authorization is an expression of the company's trust in employees and a powerful incentive. As the old saying goes, "people are bosom friends", and employees will really strive for that trust. So if you want to make good use of someone, you should let them play their abilities, give them a free space and platform, and let them show their talents.
What I fear most is those bosses who don't trust anyone. They feel that no one is reliable, interfere in everything, interfere in everything, and complain that employees have no sense of responsibility. Such a company can never make employees genuinely right.
Another example is interest binding. Now many companies use the "equity" method to keep people's attention, hoping to identify excellent employees by this way, so that they can work hard with a "shareholder" mentality. More mature practices are performance appraisal, awards, year-end bonuses, bonuses, attractive welfare policies, etc. These are all tied to employees with interests, making them reluctant to leave. If they want to enjoy these benefits for a long time, they must work hard.
The other is to rely on good corporate culture and management means - of course, the premise is that the salary is acceptable. These can improve employee engagement, because good culture makes people feel comfortable, and when they are happy, they can improve efficiency and quality; And good management means can make people feel that the company is running smoothly, without those complicated interpersonal relationships and chaotic processes, and work naturally with twice the effort and half the effort.
Of course, some start-ups use "ideal" or "charisma of leaders" to unite people, but this method is not very reliable, because in the face of time, the ideal will deteriorate, and the charisma of leaders will fade.
Therefore, before the company has no capital, it will attract people with ideals or charisma. But once the company has a scale, it must use a more reasonable way to manage and influence employees.
How to see whether a leader treats you as his own
1、 He entrusted you with important work
In the workplace, there are different jobs. Some are important jobs, and some are very ordinary projects. The difference is quite big. Working on two major projects within one year is more important in leadership than working on five or six general projects.
If you are usually assigned an important project by the leader, congratulations. You should cherish it and try to seize this opportunity. Generally speaking, leaders will give important work to their confidants. If you find that your work is very important, it means that leaders treat you as their own person.
2、 He plans a way out for you
The position is different, and the new play is also different. Usually, the leaders will plan a easy way for you to take for the people they value, so that you can avoid many detours. Obviously, when going out for training, talking about projects or meeting for communication, some leaders who need to attend by themselves will also consider taking some key training subordinates with them.
Anyway, if the leader often takes you to important social occasions, it shows that he trusts you. If he is good, he usually thinks of you at the first time. Will he give you some benefits and rewards? In fact, it is a hint that you should not leave and follow him to eat meat.
3、 He'll give you a hand
In the workplace, it is inevitable to make mistakes, but some mistakes are minor mistakes, while others are big mistakes. If you make mistakes carelessly, the attitude of the leader can tell whether he treats you as his own. If he treats you as his own person, he will help you and help you. If he doesn't treat you as his own person, you will be fired or fined. What's his business?
In other words, if the leader doesn't treat you as his own person, he may push you to take the blame. But if you are valued by the leader, he will help you when you encounter difficulties or make mistakes.
