4 Ways to Get Over Your Fear of Confronting Employees

The Coaching Group of Switzerland
By Avery Augustine
​

As a manager, I probably shouldn’t be admitting this. But, in the hope that this will help another less-than-confident supervisor, here it is: I hate confronting employees. I dislike it so much, in fact, that for the majority of my management career, I flat out avoided it.
And that meant that, for a while, my employees got by with sub-par work , disregard for company rules and policies, and minimal professional growth. All because I was too scared to have serious conversations with them about what they needed to do to improve.

What was it exactly that I was scared of? Well, just about everything: I dreaded the awkward “I need to talk to you in private,” conversation starter, feared that I’d be labeled as the “mean boss,” and expected that my employee would lash out at me with snide excuses . And so, I avoided it like the plague. ...Click 'Read More' below

There’s a burgeoning new niche of consultants offering to inject some joy into the office
By Lennox Morrison


John de Koning’s company did something surprising: they decided their number one priority would be the happiness of their staff.

His employer, IT firm Incentro, based in Utrecht, the Netherlands, once operated as a traditional online services provider, with a top-down hierarchy of bosses and employees. But after a market downturn between 2002 and 2005, the management rebooted to become less flashy but more fun; a place where talented, ambitious young professionals would want to work.

Now, all staff are equal and all information about the business is shared. Instead of the usual pyramid structure, people work in independently functioning ‘cells’ – groups of 60 or fewer. As well as organising their own work, they take part in company-wide decisions and even set their own salary. Rather than senior management dictating pay rises, each ‘cell’ or team decides whether they are happy to share salary information. If so, they make a collective decision on what they should earn – based on everyone knowing the full financial picture of the company. ...Click 'Read More' below

As Simon Sinek says: “There is no app for job satisfaction and strong relationships / friendships. These take time! Require patience! – Trust and open communication cannot happen when people have their mobiles with them ALL the time!
​Hard habit to break but worth the quality of life you can gain. 

Simon Sinek is always worth listening to gain clarity and understanding.
Many wonderful insights in this video.

With self-reflection you grow into your own natural leadership style
By Mathias Jakobsen

​
Being a leader is a big, complicated job. Even with years of practice, there are new teams to figure out, new challenges to overcome, new techniques to apply.

And yet a lot of people are still promoted to positions of leadership because they perform well as individual contributors.

But should someone who is a great writer be promoted to manage a whole staff of writers because she is great at writing? Should someone who is good at financial analysis be expected to lead an entire team based on his skill as an analyst? Why would we assume that doing one job well predicts success in an entirely different capacity? ...Click 'Read More' below
