The Top 5 People Problems Managers Can’t Ignore For Happy & Productive Teams

There are lots of people problems managers can’t ignore if they want to have a happy and productive team. People problems in your team usually get worst over time if left alone and they will easily damage team performance. I share THE top 5 people problems managers shouldn’t ignore (in my opinion). --- How to Manager Difficult Employees (1 Day Course) Learn how to manage and improve any difficult, underperforming or problematic employees quickly and effectively. Find out more here https://enhance.training/lp/manage-difficult-people-usp015/ ---  The first people problem managers can’t ignore is bullying and any behaviour intended to put others down. Any form of bullying that the manager ignores is deadly. No action will destroy team trust, motivation and performance. This drop in performance can be quick and dramatic with these people problems at work.Always take actions quickly to stop any form of bullying in your team. It is one of the worst people problems that impact performance. The second of the people problems to always look out for is individual undermining team members or you. Undermining can take many forms – usually a pattern of behaviour to attack another person credibility, confidence, standing etc. Use an escalating set of steps to make it unappealing for undermining to happen in your team.  The third of the people problems managers need to spot is individuals taking credit for others work. This behaviour damages trust, relationships and teamwork. For those take credit for others work, they may get short term gains, but they nearly always lose out long term. Demonstrate how to give credit by praising good work, ideas and actions across your team publicly. Don’t put up with team member unfairly taking credit. Fourth  of the people problems that kill team performance is no or poor communication. Communication is at the heart of relationships, co-ordination, collaboration, teamwork, solution building and more. I share 7 actions to encourage more communication within your teams. Help coach team members who struggle to communicating and give them opportunities to practice. Fifth of the damaging people problems for managers is conflicts between team members. Conflicts can arise for all sorts of reasons. Often it is not the fault of those in conflict. As a manager you are very well placed to help all parties resolve conflicts quickly, fairly and openly. I share steps to take. If you have any questions on “The Top 5 People Problems Managers Can’t Ignore For Happy & Productive Teams” please email me at [email protected] and I will get back to you. Jess Coles Enhance.training
