MANAGING DIFFICULT EMPLOYEES (practical guidance)

Have you been dealing with difficult employees in the workplace?

If you are a manager, supervisor or team lead, then you know that the best part of leadership is oftentimes the hardest part...dealing with people! And it is not easy dealing with difficult employees.

In this video I’m going to share a few practical suggestions to help you navigate through dealing with difficult people at work so that your team does not see a decline in productivity due to the negativity or difficulty that this team member brings to the team.

Could you do one where an employee won’t treat you with respect as a new manager

[dmv]

I am an employee who can sometimes be difficult due to frustration with management with terrible people skills. It is so hard to not react poorly when your manager displays many of the traits you are describing.

I'm so glad you made this video! This was the hardest thing I dealt with as a new manager and needed these tips!

[demondtigs]

I'm a new manager. I have found your videos very helpful and informative. Thank you.

I began watching this to get help with some of my difficult subordinates. Further into the video I discovered some of these traits describing me and my relationship with MY leaders. What an eye opener! Thank you for the guided self reflection. SUBSCRIBED!

I am a new manager. Did so several years ago but with little power.

I have an employee who mostly falls into expecting me to solve her problems, but also definitely a know-it-all to the extent it is disruptive to the larger team. (She and I are the only members of my team.)

She is a more silent complainer, but the issues I feel she is struggling with seem to fit well within that bucket. Due to her expecting me to solve her problems and to basically do her work for her.

Of course it is expected that having a new employee and training them will at first require more time than doing the job yourself. It has been way too long. External feedback from friends and therapist (yes, it got that bad) is to get rid of her.

One of my supervisor's claim of fame is low attrition.

Oh, in a way these are different kinds of employees, they might not be difficult - but at least you know how to deal with the symptoms before they becomes difficult. Thanks for the video!

Hey lovely podcast, these are themes I actually teach in school, I'm an English teacher in French unis, I actually am a people-pleaser and often struggle with not being able to meet expectations. I've learned to gently turn down offers before committing to them.
