I'm a manager in a not for profit orgnisation and experiencing problems with a direct who works as a section team leader. I have been managing this individual for 8 weeks and my boss is very angry at some of the behaviour he considers to be wayward and unduly pushing from this direct. I'm wondering if anyone can offer some perspective on this and suggest ways forward. This individuals behaviours are as follows: acts differently in front of the team with me in a negative and dismissive fashion and continually finds faults/identifies areas for mprovment despite some of this being outside of his sphere of influence and is something that other managers attend to. I gave feedback on the latter and he responds by pointing out risks of litigation etc, which in my view is non existant. Worryingly other team members are being off hand with other managers since he has been on the scene and he enjoys gossiping about other individuals outside of the business. I am also being told by team members that I am lucky to have him as a manager and that I need to keep him.How to I address his behaviour and let other team members know that their deterioation in attitude is not acceptable? I feel frustrated
My thoughts- disclaimer: Not an expert
I give my thoughts only as a fellow manager who cares about the stress you are feeling:
I see a few items that are worth addressing, some of the team lead, and some of yourself:
So those are my two cents, here's hoping an expert chimes in soon!
Thanks
Thank you so much for this input it-it has been very helpful to me and re-balanced my perspective. I think that reminding me to be patient has been very helpul as it is sometimes easy to lose perspective and become stressed by these things.Thanks again for your help!
