There are several ways to annoy employees, and annoyed employees are not productive.
Because we believe that many management people do not recognize the degree of stress and fear on the part of their employees, we felt that this message was particularly important. It is based on the writing of Professor T. Chamorro-Premuzic of Columbia University.
These are common mistakes that many managers have made, and the situation became worse in dealing with their employees during the pandemic.
Ignoring the emotions of your people: Are you aware of the stress that occurs for many, if not all, of the people in your organization?
Using negative language: Your people get ample negative feedback by watching any news broadcast. What are you doing to counteract this with reasonable optimism?
Acting erratically: Don’t upset your people by making them gues swhat you will do next. Be reliable, predictable, and even boring to demonstrate that your people can count on you in uncertain times.
