Dear Professional,
How are things with you?
It’s Monday, and I’m back again with expert advice to help you develop
key business-building behaviours to distinguish yourself from the competition,
grow your business, create the right bond with your employees and cultivate the
essential business etiquette to provide better services to your
clients. This week’s tip is about handling poor situations with your employees
with a positive attitude. Read below.
I remember visiting a small business in Surulere, Lagos some years back
when the voice of the owner of the business rang out reverberating through the
business building as she shouted raining offensive and shocking abuses on her
employees.
At this time, I’ve not set my eyes on her. I only just asked the
receptionist, “Please, who is shouting like this, and abusing people?” she
said, it’s the owner of the business. I was repelled by her attitude and didn’t
want to have anything to do with her business.
I later met the woman, and she was really into the services I pitched to
her, and even wanted to buy me off. Nevertheless, I took to my heels. All I
could see around her was intense venomous circumstances. I’m pretty sure your
reaction might be quite similar.
By expressing strong emotions and disparaging your employees, the only
image your existing and potential customers or a business partner receive of
your business image is ‘abnormality.’
Whether you’re a manager, salesperson or a small business owner, have a
great influence on your staff, their demeanour and attitude. To have a
respectable business image, become more remarkably polite with your words and
attitudes, also restrain the impulse to belittle the importance of your
employees.
Instead of creating a dysfunctional and drama reign working environment,
and breaking the important bond between you and your team members, which
results in reduced performance, here’s an example of how poor working
conditions with your staff can be positive:
📌Think of the messy situations you’re having with your employees from
time to time. Have a meeting with them, then point out these faulty conditions
that has been happening.
📌Clearly outline how you want these situations to be managed.
📌Give definite positive instructions of the behaviours you want from
the employees in place of the difficult manners, and when you expect a result.
📌Stamp your authority on the challenging circumstances through the use
of positive language and right behaviours.
📌Consider making the situations you’re trying to change a ‘this for that' affair by having rewards for those who change, and small penalty for those who
slip up.
📌Review the progress of the employees at the end of the week or month.
Join the bosses who have learned to word their dissatisfactions with a
positive image of what they want and approach heated situations with their
employees quite differently. Register today for our business etiquette course,
