Managing
employees can be a knotty tasks at times specially the ones who are under
performing and disruptive.
But this is
not just one side affair. It will be unfair to say that workplace issues are
always because of difficult, non – performing employees. How we treat our
employees have an impact on how they behave at work?
Have you ever
riddled one of your employees in front of their co-workers? Do you ignore staff
issues just because you are too busy with work? Do you ever make the
underperformers feel that they are non-competent compared to others?
If yes, then
this is a sure way to decrease the employee’s morale and productivity.
It is
imperative to find out; do you have bad boss characteristics?
Here are few
indicators to check the irrational attitude of manager.
§ Do you have
difficulty in discussing goals with your staff?
§ Are you least
interested in knowing the challenges your employees face at
work?
work?
§ Do you fail to
explain your staff what is expected of them? (This helps them to focus
and achieve goals)
§ Are you rude
and brusque with your employees?
§ Do you ignore
to appreciate your employee’s accomplishments?
§ How do you
treat employee – employee relations? Do you want them to be
aggressive against each other in the interest of reaching organizational
goals?
If any of the
above and such like, applies to you and symbolises the way you deal with your
staff then you fall under “Bad Boss” category.
Managing
employees doesn’t require you to be just the provider of the work, rather a
good manager should be more like a coach or a tutor and even he needs to
act as a counsellor to his staff.
How we
interact with our staff has a direct impact on employee’s performance,
employee’s motivation and their job satisfaction. Employee’s morale and
productivity increases with “Good boss behaviour and characteristics”.
So if you want
to be successful as a supervisor or manager, you need to learn to finesse your
staff’s skills and seek organizational growth with a change in your
management style.
Think wisely
and profoundly, how you can get off such label, if any. No manager wants to be
tagged as awful boss, isn’t it?
