Why is frequent reporting important?

Brief answer:
This is because the leader usually does not take the initiative to look for us when it is okay, but it is often a situation when it finds us.

Detail answer:
Recently, we are planning to migrate CVS from windows to Linux. I asked Mr. Wang, the Configuration Manager, to create an account for the owner of each module and mail the username and password to the group leaders. After two days, a group of colleagues came to ask me for an account. I was surprised to say That you didn't receive an email? Didn't your team lead tell you? The answer to both questions is no.

I was surprised, so I checked with Mr. Smith. Indeed, Mr. Smith said that the account had already been created, but no email was sent. To be honest, I was a little angry at the time and asked him to send an email quickly (Why Didn't Mr. Wang send the email for a certain reason, but it was definitely not too busy or time-consuming, and I didn't forget it, the reason is beyond the scope of this article ).

Mr. Wang has just graduated and is still working very hard. When he first entered the workplace, mistakes in his work are inevitable. What I want to discuss is how to improve the experience of his leadership, so let's take a look at this matter from the perspective of a leader.

Suppose that Mr. Smith has completed 10 tasks within a period of time, but only one of them has not been done well, and thus comes to the front of the Leader (because doing well does not usually show problems, therefore, it will not become the object of daily attention). If Mr. Smith does not pay attention to reporting his work at ordinary times (his exposure is low at the leadership level), then this unfinished thing will become particularly eye-catching, in the eyes of leader, Mr. Wang is a problem-loving person. If Mr. Wang pays attention to the daily work dynamics, he will feel that you have only one tenth of a problem. It's no big deal.

 

Some people may think that their jobs are arranged by the leader. How can they not know my work conditions? Don't think so. Unless your leader has two and a half people, he may not be able to take the initiative to focus on what everyone is doing.

A typical point of view is that "leaders are busy ". Many times, I asked the client why the problem was not raised earlier? The answer is: I saw you are very busy and don't want to disturb me. This is not a right idea. being interrupted is one of the things that must be used to as a leader. Another idea is to fear being criticized when the problem is reported to the leadership. However, if the problem appears in front of the leadership from other channels, the consequences will be more serious. In fact, you can send an email to your supervisor as soon as you discover the problem, with the following message: I am trying to solve the problem as follows.

This is evidenced by actual cases. In, another department of my company was responsible for the development of the Netcom Business System in a certain place. One day, due to a system failure, the Business Hall was suspended for more than 15 minutes. On-site maintenance personnel urgently repair the problem, the duty owner did not report to the company boss because it was a weekend. It wasn't long before the boss called to ask about the incident. The user called the company's boss and announced the incident as a production accident. As a result, the boss had no idea, some of the above are dizzy and you can only say that the boss is not bent, angry or angry.

 

The tasks assigned to us by the leaders are coarse-grained, and our reports are relatively fine-grained. In any case, some work skills can make the workplace more harmonious, but to really give the leadership a good impression, do the work as much as possible, or the most important. Regular summary reports, on the one hand, can narrow the relationship with the leadership, but also urge themselves to make work management more organized.
