The Walking Dead

Does walking into your office first thing in the morning make you feel like you are entering a zombie apocalypse?

Maybe you feel like Rick, having to constantly be on the move to avoid that one (or more) employee(s) that sucks the life out of you?  You know the one who...

  • is hard to motivate
  • is resistant to change
  • loves to complain

It's time to bring them back to the "living"!

Consider these ideas:

  • Spend some one-on-one time with them.  (Take that look off your face! It will benefit you and the team.)  
  • Take them to lunch or for a cup of coffee and talk.  Chances are, whether you are aware of it or not, avoiding them may be why they are acting up to get some attention. 
  • Talk about your expectations.  Be clear and don't be afraid to set the bar high. In fact, try giving them a tough assignment - something that will challenge them and keep them too busy to complain. 

Don't be scared, give one of these techniques a try.
