How to punish provocative subordinates
1. Marginalization of best policy
Why is the best policy marginal? Because it is not a day or two for anyone who can become a thorn in the side, and when he just came to power, his power was not concentrated, his achievements were not made, and his relationship was unstable, he rushed to fight against this kind of thorn in the side. At this time, he actually chose the wrong strategic direction. When he just came to power, the first person was to stabilize his position. As long as these thorns are not too much, they can be ignored directly. There are always people who come to rely on themselves, and first promote the losers, or the defectors, and then let themselves do it first. This is the root of the firm power.
2. The best policy is to pick contradictions
But if there are always some problems and we have to look for things, then we can't bear it anymore. It must be done. But being a leader is the most taboo to be an athlete. The best state is to be a referee. Only by provoking conflicts between harsh employees and others, if there are conflicts among subordinates, the role of leadership will come out.
This is called killing people by borrowing a knife to make enemies for the thorn head. For example, when arranging work, let another person supervise and manage the disobedient subordinate. This disobedient subordinate will naturally not listen to the supervision of this person, and there will inevitably be contradictions between them.
3. Grab the bottom line
What if no one dares to offend such a prickly person in the workplace, with great energy? It can be said that Zhuge Liang met such a difficult problem. As soon as Zhuge Liang became a military strategist, he met Guan Yu, who was strong and disobedient, so he took advantage of Guan Yu's human weakness to design the plan of Huarong Road. In advance, he asked Guan Yu to take the initiative to issue a military order not to let Cao Cao go. Then, Guan Yu broke his promise. Zhuge Liang seized his hold and let him obey. Everyone has a handle. It needs to be patiently searched or dug to lure him to jump.
4. Understand subordinates
Some subordinates usually perform well in their work, and there must be a reason for their sudden outburst of emotion. For example, recently you have put too much pressure on them, and they have some emotional breakdown. In this case, what you need to do is not to directly hate each other, but to find a way to calm down the other person's emotions, let him feel your kindness, and then help him to analyze the causes and solve the problem. After that, you can point out what he did wrong and correct it later.
5. Make an example of others
Some subordinates have the personality of bullying. That is to say, the harder you are, the less they dare to make trouble. If you compromise, they will go further.
Then you don't need to be polite to such subordinates. Instead, you should be dignified and let them know the "pain". It's also good to make an example of them. At least, you should set the red line and rules.
When walking in the workplace, it is a common workplace problem to encounter disobedient subordinates. Most of the subordinates are self driven, that is, they want to do a good job, make achievements, promote and raise their salaries. The boss is lucky to meet such subordinates. It is also normal to encounter a small number of subordinates who just don't listen. There are mainly several situations:
First, they are unconvinced with their leaders, so they do not obey their work. For example, the former colleague relationship, when you were promoted to his leadership, such subordinates could either accept him or give him up. It was difficult to have the expectation of reconciliation. It was basically intentional, which was the most troublesome thing.
The second is that you are a paratrooper and naturally repel you, or you rob him of his position. This needs to slowly conquer him, convince him, and then give interest arrangements, you may listen to the arrangements, otherwise, his existence is deliberately demolished.
Third, your arrangement is unreasonable, so that your subordinates don't know how to do it? You love criticism, so your subordinates are angry with you and deliberately refuse to listen to the arrangement.
Fourth, subordinates have background and background, and they are not afraid of you. You really have no way against him. You should be careful about such subordinates. You'd rather not let them do things or offend them, or they will do harm to you.
Fifthly, the subordinates with strong personality, ability and opinionated ideas should smooth their hair if they think your plan is inferior to his or the best one.
In short, there are three ways to meet disobedient subordinates. One is to accept them and let them be used by you; Second, guide him and let him act according to your intention; The third is to drive him away and eliminate the hidden danger. Why bother? Generally, it is hard to please.
