In a word, we are so eager for success that we are a little unwilling to be lonely.
But under certain circumstances, there is only one protagonist, and some people are destined to sit on the bench. So, sit or not? How to sit? Why are you sitting? Is a question full of mystery.
The bench means opportunity.
The advantage of the cold bench is that it can avoid the biggest organizational control risk. Instead of being eager to show yourself, it is better to temporarily converge. After all, the bench also means countless opportunities, but once you are eager to play, the trick is ruined, which is completely irreparable.
I have a friend named Qiu, who was hired as a supervisor by a company and promised him a high salary and real power. Lao Qiu readily took up his post. When the new official took office, Lao Qiu didn't hold the position of boss, but that company hired three boss-level executives from competitors.
When Laoqiu was angry, he secretly analyzed and estimated that the company was so irrational that he dug people everywhere. It must be that he didn't expect so many celebrities to fall into one pot and how happy they would be. At that time, the company's consideration was simple. As long as the real power figures in the opponent's camp are dug up, it will be a "heavy blow" to competitors. As for how to manipulate so many bosses in his family, it is also very simple, just horse racing.
Laoqiu said that at that time, in addition to Lao Yang, the permanent "cold bench" executive vice president, there were only four new directors, namely, General Manager Luo, General Manager Song and himself.
These four bosses are all senior leaders of the original company. They have the right to sign. They can take action before taking action on the personnel and finance of the company, or even take no action after they are beheaded. In short, they are all natural leaders and have never been "qualified" on the bench.
The board of directors of the company sat the four CEOs in a chariot and held a high-level meeting to discuss the annual operating results. The four bosses are all wily people. When they have a meeting, they have a meeting and discuss it. They only have ears but no mouths, and they made it clear that they were not satisfied with the team that the company gave them.
They are all first-line people. Who will play the leading role? Who will sit on the bench again? With what?
The board of directors is well aware of the temper of the four bosses. Since we know all about this, it goes without saying that we should only talk about work, market, sales and profits.
It's a little too much not to talk about work. Laoqiu, Lao Luo, Lao Han and Lao Song all talked about the market euphemistically from their own experiences. ...
So after such a conversation, Lao Luo, who was most favored by the market, became the CEO of the company. And Lao Song, who is optimistic about the market, ranks second; Lao Qiu, the third optimistic about the market, and Lao Han, the most pessimistic, are huddled on a "bench" with Chang Yangyang, the former executive vice bank.
Awkward! At that time, Laoqiu told me that this job-hopping was "If he is old, Ling Yunzhi will dare to laugh at Huang Chao's husband". Unexpectedly, in the end, he only ended up on the bench, quite unhappy!
But even more unhappy is the second-ranked Lao Song.
Lao Song is not as happy as Lao Qiu and Lao Han, probably because Lao Song and Lao Qiu are conservative about the market, but Lao Song is not. He is optimistic about the market.
But first the board asked him to talk about it. After he talked about this, Lao Luo only increased his market forecast by one percentage point. Just one percentage point away, Lao Luo became the protagonist, but he could only sit on the bench with Lao Qiu and Lao Han. How can Lao Song stand it?
So Lao Song actively contacted the "buyer" and prepared to jump. However, the frequency of executives' job-hopping should not be too high, otherwise their value will be greatly reduced. Therefore, Lao Song always talks about it. This bench turned out to be a chicken rib. Do not do well, psychological imbalance; If you don't do it well, you can't leave for the time being. In short, this is a dilemma.
Lao Qiu said that the plight of the second-line figure Lao Song led to the direct result of the first-line figure Lao Luo's exit.
Why is this happening?
Think about Lao Luo. His team is a strong team in Mazhuang, and they are all elites in the industry. But the elite is not only an elite at work, but also an elite when making trouble. A group of elites mess with you in an elite way. Who can stand it?
Lao Qiu commented afterwards: In fact, Lao Luo's ability is definitely the first. At least LaoQiu is convinced of him. As time goes by, if you give him another year or two, the result will certainly not be so bad.
But the problem is that as a leader, you must pay attention to the controllability of those who sit on the bench. Lao Luo was eager for success and made a big mistake in this respect. The ability of the people on the bench will be inversely proportional to your achievements. This important issue must be clarified.
In short, pay attention to the people sitting on the bench, they may be the final winners.
Therefore, Lao Qiu concluded that the advantage of sitting on the bench is that it can help you avoid the biggest risk of organizational control. Instead of being eager to show yourself, it is better to temporarily converge. After all, the bench also means countless opportunities, but once you are eager to play and make a name for yourself, it is completely irreparable.
