In work, although the difference between "done" and "done well" is only one word, the former only completes a certain task, while the latter not only completes the task but also has a good result. If you approach a job with a "similar" mindset and only focus on completing it without paying attention to the results, then like most people in the workplace, you are destined not to be promoted. one
Once executed, 100% effort should be put in
Many people have complained to me:
Our boss makes me do this and that every day, and many things are repetitive, which is so annoying. What should I do? "Whenever this happens, I will ask them in return:
Have you ever thought about why your boss would make you repeatedly do the same thing besides basic daily work? Did you fail to do something well during the first execution? Did your boss ask you to do it again because you were not satisfied with the previous execution results
I have found that most people cannot answer my questions because they are "guilty" - they only know that they have done a lot, but do not know how well they have done. So, as you seem to be busy every day, when executing tasks at work, are you only satisfied with "doing" but ignoring the "results" of doing? Although there is only one word difference between 'done' and 'done well', their essence is different.
The former was executed but not in place, just going through the motions or simply dealing with it; The latter has not only been implemented, but also in place, representing responsibility for self goals, responsibility for higher-level organizations, and responsibility for the interests of the company. The key to whether an employee has high execution ability lies in their emphasis on the result of "doing well". Therefore, if you want to improve execution ability, you must not be satisfied with yourself, let alone deceive yourself. It is obvious that you did not execute well from the beginning, but in the end, you blame others. Since it has been executed, you need to put in 100% effort to complete the task and deliver satisfactory results in one step. Otherwise, if it is delayed until it becomes unqualified, the boss may repeatedly demand that you re execute until it meets the requirements. However, this not only wastes the resources of the enterprise, but also wastes your own time.
2 things without results are equivalent to not doing them
At the end of one year, I received an invitation from a company to attend the year-end commendation conference. Of course, it was not to commend me, but to
I hope to take this opportunity to confirm with them the topics for employee training next year. During the recognition process, I found that those employees who received rewards were all outstanding in completing tasks, while those in the audience who did not perform well or even complete tasks could only watch others receive awards. It's obvious that my colleague is not satisfied with my explanation: "Is the difference between 99.9% and 100% that big? It's just that there's no difference?" "No, you're wrong! I believe many people share the same erroneous view as you, although 99.9% can become 100% with a little more effort. Actually, it's not like that. It's like a game, there's always a winner in the end. If everyone's strength is equal, or their results are the same at 99.9%, how can we judge it? It depends on the last 0.1%. Whoever perseveres and does the last 0.1% well, wins. So, we can see that in a game, the phenomenon of drawing is rare, and in most games, it's the case. We still have a winner, because most people still lost to the 0.1%
I was about to continue explaining to my colleague when he suddenly interrupted me and said, "Oh, when you said that, I remembered something. Not long ago, our supervisor fired an assistant because the supervisor asked the assistant to call a client, but no one answered and the assistant didn't pay attention anymore. At that time, I didn't really think about it, but now I understand because although he called, there was no result..." Yes, doing something without result is doing it, but what's the point of it?
Unfortunately, there are many employees in the company who share the same initial ideas as their colleagues. In their view:
I am just an employee hired by the company. I receive one day's salary for every day I work here. As for how the execution is carried out and whether the company makes money, it is the responsibility of the boss and the company itself, and it has nothing to do with me. So, most people are just like colleagues who have not won awards, only achieving 99.9%. Although they may have tried their best, they forget about the final outcome. It is only natural for companies not to give any rewards to such employees.
3 Implementation of the Three Laws of Landing
Rule 1: Correct the "similar" mentality. Looking at famous brand enterprises in the market, why do their brands stand firm for a hundred years and endure for a long time? Because they not only strive for excellence in product quality, but also in human management, they never allow their employees to always have a "similar" mentality when doing things. I once went to a well-known large enterprise and found that each employee had a work manual thicker than a Chinese dictionary, with dozens of pages for just one process. What does this mean?
In this fiercely competitive society, if you want to do well, be recognized and welcomed, you must strictly demand yourself, which is also the guarantee of doing things well. If you always think that "one is better than the other" is enough, then you will always be stuck in the "done" step.
Rule 2: Establish a personal brand in execution. In today's era, people's desire for a job is no longer as simple as a tool for making a living. Everyone desires to break through in the workplace, achieve outstanding performance, and make a difference. So, many people's emotions towards their profession are sacred, and work has become more of a spiritual pillar. In that case, an efficient execution can not only bring you a satisfactory result, but also gradually establish your own brand and generate a continuous stream of work motivation.
So, if you do it, do it well. In this way, your entire workflow will become a virtuous cycle, and tasks will be easily completed in one step.
Rule 3: Take Responsibility for Yourself and the Results
Poor execution ultimately reflects a person's irresponsibility towards themselves and the results, and such individuals find it difficult to enhance their competitiveness in the workplace. Because the foundation of competitiveness lies in execution, if execution is not in place, it can even lead to errors. No matter how good your blueprint is, it is just a piece of paper. The final result you submit has no value to the enterprise, it is just a waste of manpower, material resources, and financial resources.
Therefore, as employees of a company, it is important not to blindly memorize the importance of execution, but to execute tasks effectively in practical actions, take responsibility for oneself and the results, so as to "do well" on the basis of "completion" and gradually improve one's core competitiveness.
