Secrets Managers Should Know About Difficult Employees
Difficult people can negatively affect team performance. As a business leader, building up the abilities to recognize and manage difficult people can help you keep on steering your company toward success.
You hired a person because I saw some skills in them that will help you to develop organisation.
There can be many reasons behind the bad behavior of employee or might be possible they did not show their bad side during interview and you took the wrong decision.
Because in interview not only technical skills but person behavior also does matter. But if one person bad behavior effecting all team member’s performance you should take strict decision.
Before making any decision, you need to find out the reason behind bad behavior you should know about these employees more deeply.
Here are few points about difficult employees that some may, or may not be willing to admit, while others remain totally ignorant of them.
A tuned in manager who can help surface these traits and deal with them head on will be much more successful in turning that employee from a difficult one to an connected performer.
They want to be preferred
Most employees want to be preferred. It is by all accounts a difference when you take a gander at their conduct however they would like to be preferred and fit in with the organization.
For the most part they get consideration and have a faithful band of devotees which fulfills their need to be liked.
To deal with these sorts of employees you need to speak to them one on one. Talk to them about their self-image and how their behavior has made that self-mark.
It is also a great time to discuss the benefit of being respected over being loved as that will convey an employee much further in their career.
They want to be taken note
The best thing a manager can do is to truly highlight the great execution attributes of difficult employees, while instructing the not all that great qualities.
It is important for difficult employees to realize that they are emphatically contributing from a work viewpoint. On the off chance that the great they do is overlooked and just the negative is discussed, they will float towards that which gets them acknowledgment.
As a supervisor or boss, ensure you are tuned into the correct things and not simply focused on the bad behaviors.
This is another chance to discuss self-mark by requesting that what they need be perceived or known for. Getting noticed for the right things should always be the true objective.
They are Aggressive
These kinds of people are aggressive and they are watching everything their Managers do.
They measure how managers connect with other team members and utilize that to figure out who the director prefers more.
By and large the individual they see to be in support will be the objective of their campaign.
I like to believe that even though life is aggressive as a rule, the only genuine competition we need to be focused on is with our identity yesterday, always striving to be a better version of yourself.
Some competition is great as it can inspire or light a fire under an employee. An excessive amount of is terrible and can be lethal to an association.
They are Passionate
They demand perfection from themselves and turned out to be emotionally abusive when they come up to short. They also demand perfection from their environment and the people inside it and feel the need to emotionally react when things don’t go as planned.
This emotional reactivity may come from passion, perfectionism or a should be taken note. These emotional outbursts are their default setting. They lack the emotional intelligence necessary to be respected colleagues even when they are good at what they do.
This takes a lot of coaching. Emotional intelligence isn’t something that you can essentially educate, however you can give instruments and attention to help representatives perceive and change their default setting.
They are insecure/afraid
The greater part of the conduct that we consider difficult, comes from a place of deep insecurity.
Even difficult employees are operating from a core of fear. They are afraid they won’t be noticed for their contribution, potential, personality or intelligence.
They aren’t confident enough to be liked or valued on their own merit so they attempt to undermine others to boost their sense of self. We can’t promise anyone they will have a job.
We can work with them to set values, expectations and show them how to be successful.
We can let employees know that we are here to support them and that we want them to be successful but in the end success is really up to them.
