6/24/2023 0 Comments Come to jesus moment![]() ![]() Keep all this in mind next time you feel like it’s time for a sit down with a tough employee. This is another example of why great leaders listen, because listening gives you the best information/perspective on what’s really happening. To facilitate this better understanding, you need more information, to get more information, you need to ask more questions. By better understanding your employee’s perspective and mindset, you meet them where they are, allowing your coaching to be more persuasive and impactful. To receive trust and openness, you have to give trust and openness. Treat these employees as you’d want to be treated. These managers wouldn’t want to be treated as harshly by their bosses, they’d want their own leaders to meet them on their level. How would you want your manager to approach you? I’ve seen countless managers complain at how stubborn and dug-in their employees are about being coached, who are themselves impossible to coach. Imagine you were in your employee’s shoes. And sure, sometimes it’s because they have a truly bad attitude (in which case it doesn’t hurt to try) and not every employee is open to some sort of breakthrough (again, doesn’t hurt to try). The employee doesn’t have a clear grasp on the behaviors and attitudes that will allow them to be successful in this environment. Prompt them if they struggle for an answer.Īt their root, employee problems come down to a breakdown in understanding.
