老板最害怕的六種問題員工

每間公司管理層最頭痛的問題員工如下:


1)負面型:悲觀,嫉世憤俗、沒有熱情、不合作。

2)受難者型:認爲自己很可憐、感受到不公、喜歡怪罪別人、引發其他人的罪惡感。

3)抱怨牢騷型:到處訴苦、愛反抗、長期心懷不滿。

4)高高在上型:優越感、傲慢、自我中心、堅持自己永遠不會錯。

5)以退爲進性:表面上順從、謙恭、安靜、避免沖突、但是也逃避責任。

6)敵意攻擊型:愛逞強出頭、不滿足、愛爭辯、容易出現辱罵或暴力的行爲。


其實問題員工易傳染其他人,影響團隊工作士氣及效率,管理層宜立即將之“隔離”,阻止對方在發放負面信息,再詢問其不滿原因,進而再爲同事“解毒”,向同事再三言明公司或管理層方針。
