People to Fire Immediately...

I have seen managers who are so insecure that
they cant take any suggestions from their
employees. Many times they dont get their hands
dirty with the real work because they themselves
admit they couldnt do the work.

When my people whined, I listened, encouraged
dialogue and then gave them a role in trying to
initiate positive change. Keep the goal in sight
and overcome your insecurity for the good of the
team. Transfer this strength to your workers.

After working with close to 500 employees, i have
seen many personality types, some just plod
along, never advance and never want to take on
responsibilies, but some critiqued the problems
and added with thought provoking suggestions.
Are these what you call whiners? Some
managers had such big heads, and basic
insecurity that mistakes continued, and no
improvements were made. The auditor's report
shot them down, after the fact.

Thanks for posting this Tom.

My take away is to continually improve yourself
and your employees. Don't settle for poor
attitudes, build a strong team.
