We have people working remotely, where distance has eroded trust or people are working more than ever. Everyone\u2019s stress levels are high right now because most people fear the unknown\u2026 It\u2019s a perfect storm for conflict.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll bet just knowing that makes you feel better because we\u2019re all in this together, we haven\u2019t been here before, and we\u2019re writing the rulebook or how-to guides as we\u2019re moving through it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to rely on some foundational steps I\u2019ve been using for years to teach people how to deal with difficult employee behavior.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Steps:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Giving and receiving effective feedback<\/strong> is a skill that always needs about as much exercise as your abs do during the pandemic. (Someone told me recently that they needed to socially distance from their refrigerator and flatten their curve!!). People have a big appetite for feedback, so feed it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Setting Boundaries?<\/strong> People feel safer with boundaries than without them, even if their initial reaction to them smells like dead fish. Their respect for their leaders increases when boundaries are established and maintained.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Having difficult conversations.<\/strong> This is the step most people would rather sweep under the carpet. Feel the fear and do it anyway! It gets easier with time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Follow Up and Follow Through.<\/strong> Everyone respects a leader who sets a standard and holds true to it. The benefits are conversations, clarity, consistency, and compliance, and that\u2019s a foundation you can build your greatest castle upon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Article source: <a href=\"https:\/\/EzineArticles.com\/10321237\">https:\/\/EzineArticles.com\/10321237<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Master these four steps to deal with difficult employee behaviors.
