Chapter 120: Both Grace and Power
At 9:30 in the morning, I got up and walked out of my office, took it to the door, and slowly walked towards the conference room. This day should have been realized half a year ago. Unfortunately, I walked a very bumpy road, but I firmly believe that this difficult half year makes me more qualified to stand in the position of the marketing department director to guide the country.
I walked towards my position seriously. In an instant, I saw many faces that were stiff due to anxiety, especially Wang Debiao and Wu Bo. They knew better than anyone else what my return meant to them this time.
After I sat down, I glanced at everyone, and finally said with a smile: "I will introduce myself. I am the new director of Buick Marketing Department, Zhang Yixi, and all the colleagues in the Marketing Department."
Everyone quickly applauded, especially Wang Debiao and Wu Bo were the most enthusiastic. I felt pain when I looked at their hands that were making a "slap" sound.
I nodded, made a stop gesture, continued to smile, and said, "The reason I re-introduced myself is that I hope it will be a new starting point from today, and I hope that all colleagues can get to know me Zhang Yixi again."
As soon as I said this, Wang Debiao and Wu Bo seemed to hear the amnesty order and quickly applauded. The reason why I said that starting from today is a new starting point is: I am willing to forget the past, at least that's how they understand it.
I was silent for a moment, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn again. Given the previous incident, my identity became special. In their eyes, I was not only their boss, but also an irregular bomb. I think they all remembered the way they took the lead when I was forced to leave.
My attitude towards Wang Debiao and Wu Bo is very firm. I will never retain them. I don’t like scheming people in the workplace, nor do I like people who arrange the right and wrong of colleagues. However, they have been working in the marketing department for 5 years, even longer than Shen Man worked in the marketing department at the time. It’s not difficult to understand why they slandered Shen Man. After all, Shen Man only took only two years to overwhelm them and became the director of the marketing department. How can they not resent?
I won’t touch them for the time being. After all, I just took office and my foundation is not stable. Taking action at this time will hurt the vitality of the marketing department and will not be conducive to the stability of the department. After thinking about it, I made a decision. I looked at Wu Bo and smiled and said, “From today on, Wu Bo will assist me in managing the marketing department’s work.”
As soon as I finished speaking, Wu Bo had an incredible expression. He didn't believe that I had entrusted him with important tasks. I smiled and said to him: "Are you confident of assisting my work?"
Wu Bo immediately said with an overjoyed expression: "Director Zhang, don't worry, I will do my best to complete the task you assigned me!"
I nodded and said, "Well, it's very good." After that, I looked at Wang Debiao again, with a nervous and expectant expression on his face. He must have felt that since I have entrusted Wu Bo with important responsibilities, I will not treat him badly.
I smiled in my heart, but said calmly on my face: "Wang Debiao."
Perhaps because of the feeling of tension and expectation, he subconsciously sat upright before I finished speaking.
Everyone's eyes were all focused on me, waiting for me to reveal the result with each thought. I realized the feeling of being in a high position for the first time. My words can determine the direction of other people's work and even the future, but do I like this feeling? Maybe I will enjoy this feeling in the future, but now, I am not sure.
I stopped and continued, "Wang Debiao will be responsible for the management of marketing department data in the future..."
After I finished speaking, Wang Debiao didn't react for a moment, and was stunned for a moment before asking carefully: "Director Zhang, do you have any other job?"
I shrugged and said, "No, why, do you have any objections to my arrangement?"
Wang Debiao's expression was complicated, and after a while, he squeezed out two words from his mouth: "No." After saying that, he glanced at Wu Bo hatefully. Wu Bo hurriedly avoided his eyes and looked elsewhere.
Wang Debiao's performance made me smile. He and Wu Bo often form parties in the company. I just want to divide them by favoring one and the other.
After stopping, I said to my female assistant: "Xiao Li, after the meeting is over, you will notify Manager Wang of the Human Resources Department and say that our marketing department needs to recruit two new people. The recruitment requirements will be handled in accordance with the company's system."
The female assistant nodded and recorded my words in the notebook in words. The atmosphere of the entire meeting suddenly became tense. Our marketing department and the marketing department director had only 8 staffing. In other words, two new people had to quit the two old people. As for who they were, they all knew this based on their future work performance.
Before taking office, I learned that since Shen Man changed jobs, the working atmosphere of the marketing department has not been very good, and the staff is lazy. I made this decision to put them in a tight wind. Besides, I have worked in the marketing department for two years, and I am very clear about their temperament. If they do not awaken their sense of crisis, it will be difficult for a group of people to take the initiative to do their job well.
......
I clapped my hands and said, "Today's first meeting of our marketing department will end here. I hope everyone can help me with my work in the future and jointly build a strong and powerful marketing department... and the meeting will be over."
I stood up, and everyone applauded again. Even Wang Debiao, who was overshadowed by me, even slapped his hand and made a "slap" sound. But I knew that the applause was full of resentment, but so what? This is what the workplace is like. Now I am in the position of the marketing department director, not him. It is my kindness to not let him leave immediately.
After taking care of my clothes, I took steady steps and left the conference room first. I believe that I was relaxed and relaxed at the meeting today.
My kindness and power may not necessarily convince them immediately, but at least they have some fear, which is enough. Management work emphasizes a gradual step by step, and fantasy will be counterproductive. If my methods today are too strict, it may cause everyone to be disgusted, which will make the entire team lack centripetal force. If it is too loose, it will not establish prestige and will not be conducive to management. Therefore, it is very important to grasp the scale. In addition, it is also to use new people to cultivate your own confidants. This is very important. There are not many people in this team, but there are many people who do not accept me. I must use some means to further strengthen my power and thus firmly take the position of the marketing department director.
.........
Since the last large auto show, the marketing department’s work has been no longer heavy, and for a period of time, it has not been heavy in my work tasks recently. Fortunately, I have had enough time to adapt to this job.
