Can You Relate ? " I dread going to work every day knowing what I will be facing when I get there. My boss has a really negative attitude. The other people I work with try to do their best and be productive, but there's no way to make him happy no matter how hard they try. This leads to anger and bickering amongst ourselves and our morale is way down."

What
makes a lousy job lousy?
(from
effective to toxic)
Insensitive attitudes of others: People who lack social awareness and empathy towards others. Solutions: Create a balance in your life, Keep a good perspective on what role work plays in your life. Organizational Change: When a company or corporation makes changes without much warning or explanations. Solutions: Involve employees in the change process. Ask for feedback. When people are a part of the process they are more willing to encourage others and boost morale. Unsure of what is expected of you: Poor or no direction from person assigning task. Solutions: Ask for clarification, restate understanding so the boss or person assigning the task can clear up any confusion
Co-workers or managers with poor people skills: As competent as they are in their field, they can't lead their people or manage their department. They refuse to delegate or they are poor communicators. Solutions: Document all your work in detail, including any communication you've had, deadlines not met and why. Include what your responsibilities are in this project. Decide if the greater good of the department or business is served by putting up with this person.
Tips for Managers: Here are some of the common concerns employees have along with some solutions for you to those concerns: Employee: I'm stressed because I can't do my job with the resources and time allotted me. Solution: Even though you understand your employees are doing the best they can with the resources and time allotted to complete the job/project, have a short meeting with them to get their ideas on what might work better for them and see if it fits into the policy and goals of the company. This boosts the morale of the employee/s because you are taking the time to listen to their concern and it makes them feel more apart of the company. Always reward them when the job/project is completed in some way. A simple, sincere "thank you" goes a long ways. Employee: My manager hovers over my shoulder while I'm working. Solution: Trust your employees to work on their own, but check the work if you have concerns and address problems as they arise. Allow your employees to be creative, to 'own' their work, and even to fail, and use the failures to help them learn how to do their jobs better.

Management Tips Department Meetings not producing the results that you expect ? I would suggest that you start your meeting with this sentence: "The purpose of this meeting is for me to find out from you what your feelings are as to each of your departments. What do you feel the breakdowns are and what do you need from me to improve these situations." Once that is said, be quiet. As they talk and talk, just remain quiet, take notes and nod your head. You will discover more by not trying to "run" the meeting and by just listening. Feed Back From Our Clients "I feel very fortunate that our company utilizes the services of Judith Munson and Inside The Workplace.
