Bad attitudes, jealousy, and disruptive behavior will sabotage your organization's morale, lower self-esteem, and reduce teamwork and productivity. When toxic behavior infects a department, managers may be tempted to ignore it or give in, the wrong thing to do, but tolerating it is not a solution! This session will show you how to neutralize gossip and put a system in place to ensure it does not re-occur, starting with that of Zero Tolerance and workplace reprimands. The destructive effects of blaming others, griping, pessimism, and always passing the buck need to be stopped. In this session, you will learn to keep emotional control and tame disruptive and destructive behavior.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
What happened to respect? Rude, indifferent, emotionally troubled, overworked, and disengaged employees do more harm your business and employee productivity than you can afford. A workplace culture of tolerating a bad attitude by one or more employees is unacceptable. A lot of times, the cause of the employee attitude is generated from how they are treated at work, a seeming lack of respect for them. Is it you or is it them that is the problem? When you fully exercise your position power, you will dramatically improve the strained relationship and drive up their power.
Respect comes from knowing the person and this session is about how to find out what matters, drives, and engages them. When you have a language of caring, you create respect. This session is about how to change this person's viewing and behavior to move them to be solution orientated. Respect drives up trust, engagement, and creativity. When you move from cautious and superficial small talk to dealing with the issue in a language of caring and a blameless apology, you go from a response of: “I thought you would never ask” to “Thank you, let’s clear this up.”
