How to deal with "smiling tiger"

It's not difficult to deal with "smiling tiger". In performance, we should maintain a friendly relationship with him, but we should guard against him secretly. We should invite relevant people to attend all the official decision-making reports related to him, such as meetings. We should avoid talking about information on other official affairs. At the same time, our communication with him is limited to official affairs, and our personal privacy and even other people's right and wrong are all tight lipped. As long as you can do not leak, he will not find a gap to you!

If you are a leader, you may meet some hateful smiling tiger subordinates who don't fight against you openly, but wait until enough partners are present to attack you. When attacking you in public, he often pretends to be joking, but there is a sting in his words. People present will laugh uneasily. Whether you turn a deaf ear to an attack, laugh back, or retort tit for tat, you lose face in front of everyone.

In order to maintain your leading position, eliminate the damage he caused to your position, and prevent his future attacks, you can take the following measures to deal with them:

(1) Show that you will not tolerate his slander on you. State firmly and calmly that you are willing to discuss any reasonable criticism.

(2) The tone should be relaxed, but the meaning should be very clear. You don't need humor to cover up your hostility. Then, he turned the situation around and asked him to speak more specifically and clearly, so as to expose his true colors. We should fight for the truth and not defend passively.

(3) Fight him in private. Try to find out the source of his hostility. If he doesn't want to say it, tell him that you know he's attacking you all the time and ask him to stop doing it in a friendly tone.
