Overview
Managing other people is never easy, but some employees make it particularly difficult.
When an employee's negative attitude is not addressed properly, other
team members become resentful, they lose respect for you as a leader,
and they may develop their own negative attitude.
No leader wants a difficult or toxic employee on their team, however
it's something all leaders need to be prepared to address should it
arise. Challenging employees can try a manager’s patience and drain a
lot of time and energy. To turn things around takes skillful management
and patience.
How you and your team effectively deal with negative and difficult team
members can mean the difference between having a toxic, drama-filled
workplace, and an engaged, collaborative, and productive organization.
Under stress and surrounded by uncertainty, some members of our team
become negative and resistant, and are simply more difficult to deal
with. Successful leaders know that reducing the drama within their team
depends on being able to understand and respond appropriately to their
behaviors.
Learn successful strategies and tips for building a positive, productive
workplace by knowing WHAT to focus on to move these interactions
forward, HOW to effectively respond, and WAYS to manage the impact of
their behavior. Identify challenges associated with managing difficult
employees, control your own feelings effectively, and create a positive
work environment. Quickly and effectively address, coach, and counsel
employees with difficult attitudes in order to improve their behavior.
