Too much criticism of subordinates

Use work skillfully to transfer emotions

  • Positive: I just said something wrong, and I am a little emotional.

conflicted subordinates

Subordinates need a sense of recognition. When leaders announce new plans and subordinates express dissatisfaction:

  • If you don't know how to act, you may be talking on paper, you need guidance, and you can't go back with "you want to".

subordinate

Use hypothetical questions frequently, possibly expressing dissatisfaction with something that happened in the past.

  • Dissatisfaction with the boss: The last time I spoke was not well-founded, and I used my position to pressure people.
  • Dissatisfaction with the status quo: I did not recognize myself last time, and I did not allow myself to challenge important work.

Subordinates who like to shirk their responsibilities

  • Positive: Consider the worst-case scenario, what are you most afraid of? Look for the source of frustration.
  • Negative: Don't make excuses, what are you afraid of?

Scenario 3: When delegating a task

Temporary affairs make subordinates happy to delegate

Pay attention to create a sense of fairness and avoid making others feel that all things are left to one member to do.

Record all kinds of long-term transactions, distribute them evenly to each member, and call everyone uniformly.

  • Positive: xx, I always trouble you, this time the client is very important, I hope you can handle it.
  • Negative: xx, to deal with this.

Emergency work entrusted to subordinates

Entrust the other party to make materials

Delegate unconfident subordinates

  • Negative: I'm doing it for your own good, are you not motivated? I've done everything before, do you want to improve?

  • To use the question sentence, how can you be good at xxx like you.

label compliments

  • When it comes to xx function research, of course, you have to ask yyy

  • Accelerate the growth of subordinates and establish the self-brand of technical members.

Triangle praise

Passing compliments from third parties to subordinates

  • At the meeting yesterday, the minister praised you and said that you have made great progress recently.

In the third aspect, praise those who are not present, and don't speak ill of those who are not present, especially when there is a relationship between the two team members:

  • To A, B's technical solution has been implemented very well.
  • Say to B, A says his technical solution, and borrows a lot from yours.

Scenario 5: Reporting and Communication

Create a chat atmosphere

  • Match the speed of the other person's speech and use "yes, um, ah" to create an atmosphere.
  • Do not use the same word over and over again.

Neither agree nor disagree, let the subordinates say more

  • I see
  • what's next
  • and then

agree with subordinates

  • Very interesting
  • exactly

Subordinates complain, talk about troubles, tell about failures

  • It might just be an oral vent.
  • I can understand how you feel, that situation is not easy to handle.
  • It's a shame, it's really frustrating.

When your subordinates disagree with you

  • Positive: Repeat the subordinate's core point of view, seeking common ground while reserving differences.

Subordinates who are unable to report

It's very dangerous to avoid outright denial, unless you really don't understand what's being said or there's too much nonsense.

It is recommended to use the 5W1H analysis method, starting from the questions of What, Where, When, Who, Why, How.

front

  • Thank you for your promotion, I want to organize it again, can you say it again.

  • Can we start with the conclusion?

negative

  • Anyway, what do you want to say?
  • I don't understand what you're talking about

To subordinates reporting bad news

Let him finish his words first, and if he needs to criticize, he should stand on the other side's point of view and urge improvement, instead of venting his emotions.

  • Positive: Good work, thank you for the report, can you elaborate?

Scenario 6: Coaching and Evaluation

For underperforming subordinates

  • Look for highlights, praise first, your copywriting is doing well.
  • Ask the question, your performance is not very good compared to others in the same period.

Negative:

  • Your performance is too poor, do you have any motivation?

Subordinates with old experience for poor performance

  • Positive: lead by example, encourage advancing with the times, and achieve better results.
  • Negative: what you did in the past won't work, please keep up with the times.

Subordinates who lack courage at critical moments

For example, during the implementation process, we did not dare to force orders, and we could not find key people during the PK process.

  • Positive: I know you have a gentle personality and sometimes don't say strong words.
  • Negative: What are you doing, don't you feel ashamed?

Busy subordinate

front: 

  • Develop their ability to think globally, don't take everything for granted, some things can be cut off.
  • Tactical diligence cannot mask strategic laziness

Negative: 

  • Has the xx function completed the development, why is it not completed yet.
  • How to do things, can't you be faster?

Subordinates who are late

Speculate the reason for the delay, it may be:

  • Originally, I was very busy at work, so I dared not refuse the new task of my boss.
  • Unreasonable arrangement of working hours.
  • Insufficient ability and needs to be improved.
  • The pursuit of perfection, exhaustiveness, and extra time.

Subordinates postponed in pursuit of perfection

  • Positive: It may be a waste to point out that it is not on schedule, and the pursuit of perfection cannot be used to deny the other person's personality.
  • Negative: It's pointless to not submit code, you are too perfect, boring.

For subordinates who make the same mistake many times

front:

  • Confirm the facts.
  • Change the why to what, what is the effect, and what causes it.
  • Guide improvement, what to do in the future, and how to do it specifically.

Negative:

  • Someone else complained about the error when using the function, what's going on.
  • Why make the same mistake every time, why not double check.

Subordinates who only give opinions and do not act

front:

  • Looking for the reason for not taking action, it may be fear of taking responsibility, emphasizing to do it together, focusing on him, and explaining the reason.
  • Maybe the action threshold is too high, narrow the scope, and emphasize that it only takes a few hours.

Negative:

  • You have to spend more time on this, don't say you have no time, you come to do this, you can't talk about it on paper.

Subordinates with no basis for proposal

  • Positive: Good proposal, what inspired you, and a specific area that needs improvement.
  • Negatives: Go back and think about it and bring it back; creative, unrealistic, a bit sloppy.

Subordinates who will only object but not make constructive comments

  • Positive: What would you do if you took action?
  • Negative: After you think about it, don't just oppose it, how can you not make an opinion?

Old subordinates who lack teamwork

  • Positive: Inspire outstanding employees to care about the team, guide them to share their methodology, and set an example for the team.
