Take Back Control! Strategies for Managing Employees without Compromising Your Productivity

“These people are driving me crazy!” “Why can’t they just come to work and do their jobs?” “Why is everything such a big deal?” “I don’t have time to play referee and listen to any more complaining – I have work to do!”

Be honest. If you manage people, you’ve likely uttered one of these statements at one point or another. It’s ok. We won’t tell. And…we’ve been there too.

As leaders, we spend a lot of time listening to our employees. And with good reason. Listening breeds trust and builds strong relationships which as we know translate to increased performance and productivity.

This also means we spend a lot of time mediating petty conflicts, listening to whining and counseling employees. And when this leads to extended work hours, weekends in the office and stress over keeping up with our own workload, it’s hard to stay motivated, focused and productive.

But there is good news for you. You can do more than survive. You can actually turn the chaos of managing difficult situations and employees into opportunities to thrive and grow!

Conflict, confusion, and poor communication lead to distraction and wasted effort. World-class leaders know how to cut through and clarify people issues to get their teams focused on goals and results.

And you can be a world-class leader too! You can be the one to turn your team into a high-performing unit, and you can do it without working seven days a week.
