管理上司大法 ( 上)
一樣米養百樣人，同樣地上司也有千百種類型。筆者慶幸自己遇到的上司都四四正正，不算騎呢。但無人是完美的，作為員工都有責任「管理上司」，當你遇著上司有以下的行為，你可以怎樣拆解而達致雙贏呢？ 1. 失驚無神考起你：遇著每事問每事管、而且想起就問的上司，經常令你捏一把汗，或是疲於奔命，你只有兩個對策應付。第一是與他鬥快，定期主動匯報你的工作進度，在他開口問你之前，就已經封住他的嘴巴，這就能免除他突如其來的提問，而導致你答不出來的無力感。但是上司都是一些不易滿足、得一想二的生物，若然他轉數夠快，他一定不會就此放過你，總能在雞蛋裏挑骨頭，在匯報裏鑽空子。熟知上司的你，就要使出第二招，就是在平時記錄清楚你的「存貨」，並適時「留貨」，不要一次說盡，一旦他想知道更多的時候，你才拿出儲起的「貨」，答得出之餘，又足以表現你的應變能力。 2. 優柔寡斷：這些上司患有「選擇困難症」，面對決定總是猶疑不決。你需要設法找出他猶豫不決的原因，是因為資料不足或是因為他要考慮到其他部門或因素，因而無法判斷，還是只是「人嘅問題」。如果是前者就易辦了，你不需給他太多的選擇，並提供足夠理據，去說服他接受你的方案，甚至在穩妥的情況下先斬後奏，這或者比在事前獲得批准容易得多，不用再天天被他牽著鼻子走，他心底裏甚至感激你救他出苦海也不定。
