Big truth-who can office politics kill?

In bookstores, books of the business and war categories have been very popular over the past few years. The business and war in the books are not much less described than the internal struggles, we often say it is office politics.

Wine table, chat, party ......, It seems that as long as we enter the company, we will not be able to avoid office politics. If someone is cut off by the company, the reason will always be attributed to reasons such as being squeezed out and cannot be combined. In fact, this does not touch the essence. I have worked in almost every position in my career for nearly ten years, and I have been in touch with office politics. I always feel a bit confused. Now, I just want to make a breakthrough, that is, building your own in the company is irreplaceable.

Let's talk about Israel first.

A shoe repairer in kelm killed the customer. In the court, the judge sentenced him to hanging. At this moment, a citizen stood up and said, "There is only one shoe repairer in the city. Who makes up the shoes for us?

When others listen, they also say the same thing. When the judge looked at his own shoes and thought it was justified, he made a new decision: the citizens of Krum, you are right. Because we only have one Shoemaker, killing him will bring negative effects to all citizens. There are two top-built houses in the city. Let them capture the shackles and let one of the backup shoes die!

The citizen passes the same request.

This is a silly story, but if it is put into the workplace, it reveals the essence of the field of interests, that is, the substitution effect.

Some people may say that these are unfair responsibilities of the bottom-layer employees. There will be no substitution effect if there is only one boss. In fact, the boss is worse, because when someone can replace him, he is the one who builds the roof in the story. The boss wants to take out a manager. The first consideration is to eliminate his irreplacement, find alternative candidates, and then use the knife.

The first simple principle: in office politics (or downsizing), all killed are people whose jobs can be easily replaced by others.

A common example is provided. In a team, a is competent and independently responsible for the work of one link, but it is not close enough. Several other people saw this person capable of being motivated by a most restless B and began to join hands and crowd out, in addition, they are passively absent from work. B. I am a project team with several others. Compared with others, I am a potential candidate for promotion. Let the boss realize the harm this person has caused to the team.

At this time, without the possibility of redeployment, the boss began to evaluate according to the following logic --

1. The contradiction focuses on a and B. One must be cut off because of the intensification of contradictions;

2. Cut a and lose a piece of work, which is not cost-effective;

3. Cut B and lose a good employee, but there are alternative candidates to make up for the loss, but it is not fatal;

4. From the perspective of the company's interests, cut B to leave a, and immediately need to beat a's communication. Seriously, in order to prevent a from being uncontrollable, you have to find someone to master the work of. Appease others who are passively absent from B.

At this time, B will complain about dinner with friends, because he is a good employee. Why was it cut?

The key point is not whether B is competent, nor whether a is more competent than him, but who is the one who can kill and the company has the least losses.

Let's change the premise. Assume that the project team of B has a big order that can reverse the company's situation, and B is the key person in the big order?

I am afraid that A and B are not sure that they will be promoted due to group combination.

All the results of office politics in the workplace are actually not political, but corporate interests, that is, irreplaceable in the eyes of the boss or the boss.

In the workplace, it is best to communicate well with others to avoid being involved in office politics. But the most reliable foundation is to build your own irreplacement. Maybe you have more than one unique skill than others, maybe a resource that only you can solve, or a unique connection between you and your boss (Xiaomi? Haha, that's it )......, What is it, you should analyze it in your company's environment and responsibilities.

Second principle: in the workplace, we do not harm people, but we must have enough strength to prevent others from hurting you. Only one strategy is to make yourself unique in a certain field.
