Why do some people's personalities change greatly after they are promoted to leadership? The former colleagues together were joking, boasting and chatting. As soon as he was promoted to the leadership position, you suddenly felt that your relationship was a little different, not as free as before. You would say that when you become rich, your face will change. When you become a leader, your character will change. Is that true?
1、 Different responsibilities.
After being promoted to leadership, the responsibilities become heavier and more things are handled. Maybe there is no time to talk and fight with you. As time goes on, a sense of distance will naturally arise.
2、 Different positions are taken for consideration.
Employees consider problems from the perspective of employees, and leaders consider problems from the perspective of leaders. Different levels will naturally lead to different positions. Sometimes, they will become the opposite of you.
When one of my leaders was just promoted, he encountered such a thing. During the Spring Festival that year, the company was eager to complete an order and needed to work overtime. The employees didn't want to add more. Thinking that the colleague was also promoted by the employee, they would certainly speak for the employee. Unexpectedly, he stood with the leaders and asked them to work overtime. Because of this, everyone was hostile to him and felt that he had changed.
He is also very aggrieved. On the one hand, this is the order of the unit. As a management, he obeys unconditionally; On the other hand, although working overtime is very tiring, this order can bring relatively rich profits. If the enterprise wants to survive, leaders have to consider the operating efficiency.
3、 Character positioning is different.
When he was a worker, he might scold the leader with you. When he became a leader, he would certainly not do so. A leader who is too approachable is either a very big leader or will not be respected by his subordinates. Leaders should have the dignity and image of leaders, so as to better play their leadership ability.
4、 Maybe he hasn't changed, but your eyes on him have changed.
It is also possible that your own psychology is doing something wrong. He is still him, but if you think he has been promoted, unlike you, you think he has changed.
Some people have completely changed their reasons after promotion:
1. Someone becomes "counseling"
When someone is not a leader, he or she is only responsible for his or her own work. As long as he or she has the ability to work in line with his or her position, he or she can work freely. If he or she has very strong professional ability and is good at working in his or her own professional field, he or she usually makes people feel "good".
However, such people usually lack organizational, social, management and other abilities. After becoming a leader, these factors will make him feel very uncomfortable. He can't achieve management goals only by professional ability, so he has to do it by pleasing his subordinates.
2. Some people become "bulls"
Cao Xueqin said in A Dream of Red Mansions: "My son is a wolf in the middle mountain, and if he is ambitious, he will be wild.". It is the portrayal of some people who changed their appearance when they became leaders. There are definitely many people like this. I have met many people in my work unit. I used to work together in a grass-roots unit, but one day I was suddenly transferred to a higher unit. I turned around and started to attack former colleagues of the original unit. When I found problems, I did not relent. My roots did not care about the feelings of former colleagues and the cultivation of the original unit.
3. Someone has to change
When leaders enter different circles, they have different rules and principles. Maybe he doesn't want to change, but he has to. Because there is no way to integrate into that circle without change, and there is no way to continue to promote and raise salaries without change, changes have to be made. This is also the Chinese saying: "drift with the tide" or "collude with others".
4. Some people have not changed. Others see that he has changed
In fact, some people have not changed at all, just because their identity and status have changed, so people wear colored glasses when they see him. Because he has become a leader and is different from others, he used to do the same thing, but now he feels different. For example, in the past, he was likely to catch up with Xiao Liu and scold him. Now, a few words of scolding him will make everyone feel: "Why curse people when you are an official?"
5. Conclusion
There are many unexpected things in the workplace. It is a process of adapting to the workplace environment, whether it is a wolf in the jungle or forced to change. Not everyone will be like this, but many people will change when their status changes, maybe they will be more introverted, maybe they will be more aggressive. It's someone else's business. It's better to leave him alone.
