What treasures of workplace survival can be extracted from Zeng Guofan's letters?

1 Be yourself and act according to your role. As the saying goes, a leopard cannot change his spots. In the workplace, it is difficult to evaluate the private lives of many successful people, but this does not prevent them from becoming great people. Great men are not all saints with moral cleanliness. For example, the popular support rate of a president of a country has risen instead of falling because of an event on a certain day, which surprised the opposition party. Later analysis also makes sense. People see that the president also has secular desires, but this brings them closer to each other. At present, in the workplace, except state-owned enterprises, other enterprises pay little attention to the content of personal private life. Just because some people are disorderly in their private lives doesn't mean that others are unprofessional. However, in the workplace, you must abide by the rules of the game, and you must know what role you want to play. You can act like yourself, and your willfulness is completely understandable, but you must not be willful when you return to the workplace. It is the king of survival to do your duty honestly with your tail between your legs.

If you offend everyone, you will not offend anyone. In the workplace, it is not easy to offend people, it is too easy to offend half of them, and it is also the most uncomfortable. As managers, they often face the dilemma of "one size fits all" and "spring knife". If you catch it, you will die, and if you let it go, it will be chaotic. Some people pursue pragmatism, and whoever is good to me is good to me. The same system can always have "policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom". Don't treat others as fools, others can figure out what you are playing. He was very happy when you gave him the green light. People who drive red lights are unhappy. Sometimes, it is better to do good than to be a villain. If you do good for some people, others will resent you. Maybe you really mean well, but others won't think of you. Instead of offending some people, it is better to turn off the green light, which seems to block everyone's way. In fact, according to the China people's mentality of "no one suffers from inequality", everyone is balanced and no one is offended. Perhaps in everyone's eyes, you are still a fair man who acts according to principles.

The place where there is oil and water is the most slippery and the easiest place to slip. In the workplace, everyone envies those so-called "fat jobs". Procurement is more popular than scientific research, logistics is more popular than technology, and planning is more popular than settlement. The department that spends money or the department that lets others spend money holds real power and is rich in oil and water, but the road is slippery and it is not easy to stand firm. Go well. Not to mention the oil and water, everyone stared and their eyes were red. Even if you don't get any benefits, people will think that you are too good at pretending, and you will be shot if you lie down or not. The key is that there are too many people who want to make money. Bosses at all levels and all kinds of related households want to "get rid of it quickly" and everyone wants to replace it. Can it be so easy to mix? If you slip, the probability of being shot down by an arrow in the back is also great. If you don't have a strong background and the ability to control lucrative positions, you can't give up and engage in those professional jobs that you are better at.

Silence is gold and realm, and procrastination is also a strategy. There are always some "dilemmas" when doing things in the workplace. You are unhappy doing this and unhappy not doing that. If you say yes, you may hurt yourself. If you don't say yes, someone will hurt you right away. Whether to do or not, how to answer is a great test. Some people pretend to be deaf and dumb, which shows that silence is the high realm of gold. I don't say anything, so that you can't see my attitude. But this trick often doesn't work, because the wicked force you to make a statement, your silence is golden, but you don't agree. What should you do on the spot? Sometimes you promise vaguely first, and then you send the wicked away without a good strategy. The wiser way is to delay. Drag and drop, the situation will change, some things may come naturally, some things that could not be done before can be done now, and many things that drag the wicked into the water first. These dilemmas will naturally be digested.

You can offend busy people, not idle people. Everyone in the workplace knows that honest people are open-minded, poised, and narrow-minded people are anxious ... rather be a gentleman than a villain. However, offending busy people rather than idle people is a higher level of wisdom. Busy people always have their own careers, with their eyes fixed on business and no time to struggle. Idle people, idle anyway, always want to have some fun. You offended the idle man, who happened to be with you on the tiger. He will fight with you for fun anyway. You have business to do and you are not in the mood to deal with idle people.

However, if you don't deal with idle people with your heart, you may be spoiled by idle people. If you deal with idle people with your heart, your business will be affected, just like stepping on a foot and spilling it all over the floor, not sticking to your shoes. In the workplace, you must be careful when you meet idle people. In principle, you shouldn't deal with them. You must deal with them and concentrate on making profits. You would rather give up a little profit than trade time for space, so that you can concentrate on business.
