The story is about the background of the construction industry, and I also work in the construction industry, so I think the TV series is very realistic. Some netizens laughed and said that this is a Gong Dou drama in the workplace, but we may "broadcast" the opening song.
In Ideal City, I saw a textbook for working people.
Xiao Su, the heroine, plays a cost engineer who insists on ideals, abides by professional ethics and has a straightforward personality. From being taken back as cannon fodder for the benefit when he first entered the workplace, to being squeezed out of a small company and convincing leaders and colleagues to be reused with his own ability, he can only be appreciated by the chairman of the group and become an advanced reformer of the group.
From executors to problem solvers to rule makers, we have grown all the way and achieved a qualitative leap.
Let's take a look at Xiao Su's good friend Wu Hongmei. She studied architecture as an undergraduate, and later she studied human resources as a graduate student. She has both architectural background and human resources skills. She worked hard in the HR position of the group headquarters for four years, but she still couldn't get the appreciation of the leaders.
I wonder, what's the difference between them?
0 1? Have an ideal and a goal
Xiao Su definitely has lofty ideals and love for cost work. It is the job of a cost engineer to take part in a job after graduation. After work, she obtained the certificate of registered cost engineer and determined to become a real cost engineer. When she first entered Tiancheng Company, she was in a state of unemployment and lovelorn because of being framed. Being "cheated" by Tiancheng Company, she was just arranged to sit at a station next to the toilet. When she received a bidding task randomly arranged by her boss, she felt bright at the moment and completely devoted herself to her work to complete the bidding and finally won the bid.
Focus on the work, and the sense of accomplishment brought by the work is enough to erase the influence of other things.
When she became the chief economist of Tiancheng Company, Zhao Xiankun, the chairman of the group, asked, "What do you think is the appropriate price for us to sign an annual steel supply agreement with Baosteel?" Open your eyes and heart.
The angle of this problem is from the decision-making level of group cost control. The chairman said that she would be responsible for these in the future and promoted her to be the deputy chief economist of the group, which made her realize that on the broad stage of the group, her ability could be seen by more people and she still had more room for improvement, so she made a decisive choice and accepted a bigger challenge.
Compared with Wu Hongmei's work, human resources work has many operational matters, but she has always confined herself to the operational level, without planning and setting goals for her career. She is very passive in her work and acts according to her boss's eyes. Although she works in a glamorous office building of a large group company, she and her boyfriend live in a simple tube-shaped building in Shanghai, and even the goal of buying a house in Shanghai, in her opinion, stems from her boyfriend's urging.
Without ideals and goals, people will be trapped in the comfort zone and only see the small interests in front of them, or they will be trapped in solving the lock problem and stop there.
02? Based on my major, I have the courage to express my views.
Both Xiao Su and Wu Hongmei have professional support in their respective fields, while Xiao Su is more addicted and delved into it, with stronger professional ability. But not only that, Xiao Su insisted on abiding by professional ethics, but also bravely corrected the problems existing in the company to the leaders, and put forward solutions, so that the long-standing cost loss problem was solved and the company's profits were improved, which was praised by the leaders. Later, Xiao Su entered the group company, dared to contend with the inherent decadent interests, and repeatedly proposed a debt-to-equity swap plan to the superior leaders, aiming at winning the victory for the group and its subordinate enterprises, and eventually became an assault weapon for the chairman group to reform and reverse the situation.
On the other hand, Wu Hongmei has professional skills, but under the pressure of her boss and the informers of her colleagues, she chose to submit to humiliation, lacking the courage and skills to defend her position. After all, bosses and colleagues don't always target someone for no reason. Effective communication and upward management are also what we need to learn and apply in the workplace.
03? Analyze and solve problems from a global perspective
There is an old saying that "the ass decides the head", which means that the position where you stand determines your thinking. Du Fu's pursuit at the front desk was gossip in the office and fishing at work, but under the influence of Xiao Su, she also began to learn foreign languages. Wu Hongmei honestly guarded his HR recruitment work, with the purpose of completing what the boss told him, without considering how to make his work more efficient or improve the existing problems in the working environment. For the boss's accusation, she will only admit her mistake and apologize.
But some people can jump out of their present position and reach a higher level of thinking.
Xiao Su in the play probably has this kind of consciousness, seeing more thoroughly and thinking further. Besides my own work, I also analyze and solve problems from the standpoint of the boss. Of course, this is what her experience or experience taught her. In the play, Xia Ming and Chairman Zhao Xiankun should be the masters of the overall situation. They use all available resources, and the development trend of things is in their own expectation and under their control.
As ordinary "workers", there are not many people who really have lofty ideals and abilities. Most of us are Du Fu and Wu Hongmei. Ordinary people are doing their inherent work with limited resources. I believe there are all kinds of problems, big and small. Can we break the game under difficult circumstances? Do we have a chance to change the status quo?
I believe there is. Although this opportunity does not mean that we can make a big leap, we look at the problems in our work with a holistic view at the existing level, cultivate the ability to analyze and solve problems through thinking, be brave in action, constantly improve our business technology, improve our work efficiency, and solve problems for enterprises and leaders. I believe that we can also create an "ideal city" in our workplace.
May we all be as the title of the play says: May all our ideals finally shine.
