Topic: How to Deal with “Bad Managers”  with Aaron Nygren

Details:

As an H.R. professional do you often feel that you are the designated “vice principal of the workplace.” That you have to handle or fix all the difficult cases that get sent to your office. You may resign and conclude that, “this is what we signed up for, right? Difficult employees are one thing, but when you are presented with a high-level supervisor or manager that is in focus, it often raises the stakes of the H.R. professional’s confrontation due to the manager’s position and influence in the organization. You can’t neglect the problem because you know the impact they wield on the team can lead to more problems if not addressed immediately.

In this session we will identify some time-tested methods to holding leaders accountable. We will discuss a positive approach to discipline that takes the pressure off you as the coach and makes the person’s poor behavior or performance the focal point of personal accountability. Topics to expand upon will include: setting up a collaborative partnership, goal setting, seeking allies for change, feedback sessions, helping to connect company values to the individual’s value system/purpose and the technique of self-reflection to aid the employee’s performance improvement-job satisfaction-engagement principle.
