In The Workplace, Be Mindful Of A Sense Of Boundaries And Don't Take Love For Granted
The only relationship in the workplace is a working relationship, whether it's between a superior and a subordinate, or between coworkers. Whether that relationship is good or bad, it's all the same.
The workplace is simple, it's the people that make it complicated. In the workplace, interpersonal communication, how to do, not how you want to do.
Many people do not have a good grasp of the situation, it seems to be a good relationship, not as unbreakable as imagined, and may even be because of a small thing into a "tsunami". Many personal grudges arise.
The only relationship in the workplace
The only relationship in the workplace is the working relationship, whether it is between superiors and subordinates or between coworkers. Whether this relationship is good or bad, it is the same.
The root cause of work relationships is "profit". Almost all people enter the workplace to gain more benefits. Such benefits include income status, position level, self-actualization, etc.
At the same time, the distribution of a fixed amount of resources is at the core of everyone's struggle. The main theme in the workplace: competition. Relationships are good or bad solely because of the dramatic changes in interests.
Don't try to break the boundaries of your work relationships. Going beyond your work relationships may be beneficial to some extent, but at the same time, you are constantly sowing the seeds of trouble for yourself.
Because the person who can hurt you is always someone who knows you, like a stranger walking down the street, who won't know your preferences or even weaknesses, and even if you wanted to target them, there's no way to do it.
Changes between relationships
Relationships in the workplace can change at any time, when the interests are the same, we can become a cooperative relationship, and when the interests are in conflict, it will become a competitive relationship. Whether it is a cooperative or competitive relationship, it is a working relationship.
"Interests" are the root of the relationship. This is because people behave in the workplace in such a way that they tend to benefit and avoid harm. Even sacrificing the interests of others and so-called "friendships" for the sake of self-preservation.
Work relationships change, do not be kidnapped by morality, in fact, no one is right or wrong, just different situations. "Do not advise others to be good without their suffering", it may be difficult to determine your own choice when you encounter your own "interests" tilted.
Driven by the tendency to avoid harm, many relationships will change, just like people do not like the "villain" in the workplace, but if the leader reuse after the increase in their own grasp of the resources, just as many people will rely on up, although these behaviors make people feel ashamed, but this is the reality, because of their respective "interests", many relationships will be changed.
The importance of being mindful of boundaries
Being in the workplace, a sense of boundaries is very important. Some leaders are too close to their subordinates in order to mingle with them, resulting in a threat to their authority.
Some coworkers have a good relationship with each other and may only stick to their own principles, which will invariably offend each other. Others, who are just on good terms, are artificially divided into "teams" and end up as innocent victims. There are even some people, just out of emotional help, and ultimately do not belong to their own things, all on their own head, the formation of a kind of "planting other people's fields panicked their own land" situation.
The working relationship is very simple, but people put on the coat of affection for him, so that many people have lost themselves under the cover of the coat. On the premise of not touching one's bottom line, how much of the so-called "workplace friendship" can stand the test of "interests"?
Pay attention to the boundaries between people and you may not look good, but at the same time, you will not sow "trouble" for yourself. Abandoning the theory that risk and benefit go hand in hand, and that the greater the risk the greater the benefit, simply doesn't hold true in human relationships. How many people can withstand the test of "benefits" in a workplace environment? And how many people can stand the test of human nature?
Working relationship is simple. When there is a common interest, we are collaborators and can be close, when there is a conflict, we can also compete openly, we do not have to grovel when we are in a low position, nor do we have to be high and mighty when we are in a high position.
Whether in the workplace or in life, we need to master a "degree". The working relationship is a cooperative relationship, even if it is a competitive relationship, it is also cooperation within a certain range, each person and each position has its own duties, there is no need to complicate a simple relationship, not to mention love and care for others as a due diligence obligation. Conversely, one should maintain the same sense of boundaries in one's treatment of others and master a "degree".
Finally, I would like to tell you that in the workplace and social life, it is not only necessary to have the ability to work, but sometimes it is even more necessary to have good eloquence, vision, emotional intelligence and pattern strategy.
With good eloquence, you can express what you want to say in the form that the other party likes to hear, so that you can maintain the relationship between the two sides, so that others understand you, and increase the probability of successful negotiations.
With eyesight, you can find the wind direction of things, find the key to crack, twice the result with half the effort.
And pattern and strategy, so that you take the right path, to gain the trust of others, planning things in people, success in the sky.
The wisdom of these people in the world often need to be obtained in practice, however, the society of all kinds of people and large and small pits, accidentally fall into someone else's trap can be described as bitter and even difficult to turn around.
