    Hey lovely podcast, these are themes I actually teach in school, I'm an English teacher in French unis, I actually am a people-pleaser and often struggle with not being able to meet expectations. I've learned to gently turn down offers before committing to them.

    I am a new manager. Did so several years ago but with little power.
    I have an employee who mostly falls into expecting me to solve her problems, but also definitely a know-it-all to the extent it is disruptive to the larger team. (She and I are the only members of my team.)
    She is a more silent complainer, but the issues I feel she is struggling with seem to fit well within that bucket. Due to her expecting me to solve her problems and to basically do her work for her.
    Of course it is expected that having a new employee and training them will at first require more time than doing the job yourself. It has been way too long. External feedback from friends and therapist (yes, it got that bad) is to get rid of her.
    One of my supervisor's claim of fame is low attrition.

    I was promoted to Supervisor to a totally new department in which I had no CLUE of process,policies nor procedures. The whole team knew me working in other departments and used that against me. They undermined me and made fun of me because I don’t know anything about their work. Horrible feeling… today is not that bad, but still struggling with their behavior.

      These are the people who are extremely bitter in life. They hated the fact that you are in that role they thought it’s should be them but they are not good enough. They don’t want to admit the fact that they are lack of self awareness skills but to point everything at you with negativities to bring you down. Don’t let them win

    This is a WAY better approach then another popular TH-cam on this subject. He was just suggesting to fire people right away and how he wants to get back to his family right away. He was a head ache. Im glad there is a different approach and perspective that is inclusive and focusing on the individual instead of seeing them as an object.

    A lot of these traits are actually neurodivergence. No wonder why we struggle to fit into traditional workplaces. I fit almost of all these boxes.

    Quick question: What should a Know
    -it-All employee do when they have helpful information or resources that can better the team without coming off as a know it all? Should they keep it to themselves? I believe on my past experience that I might be one. However, I’ve always provided input when asked or send proposals with suggestions. Should I limit my contributions to the team to avoid this stigma?

    • @Kayla-rs5nc
      @Kayla-rs5nc ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hey Victoria! I know this is late and I am NO expert. However, I do have a team member who is a know-it-all and they drive their team mates nuts. If I were to give you advice on how not to come across this way, I would say it's not about what you know, it's about how you deliver your knowledge. For example, if you're always just vomiting information even when you don't know the situation... people are probably going to find you insufferable. However, if you enter the conversation from a curiosity stand point and then ask if they'd like your perspective... completely different vibe. Mind you, if someone is about to unwittingly blow up the company and you're aware, then all of this goes out the window- you do you and don't apologize for it. In a nutshell, knowledge is power but it's up to you how you use it.

    • @embracingwhatis371
      @embracingwhatis371 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Victoria. I'm also NO expert on this. However here are some of my points that could help. Asking if they wanna hear your suggestions. like:" I was thinking a lot about this issue we have and I'm not sure if I may found a helpfull way to deal with it, would you mind hearing me out?" So they have the option to say if they are not interested or have not enough time or ressources to hear you out. 2nd Point: Tell people in your Team or your Boss what you like about them or how they are helpfull to you, maybe say something you learned from them or a situation they handled well in your opinion (has to be true to work). If you do that regularely and they see how you look up to them or at least not down they are more likely to hear what you have to say or how you would handle it. 3rd point. Be interested and ask other Teammembers how they would do certain things. After hearing them out they are more likely to hear what you might have to say about the same matter.

      As a know it all, I'm thinking stop contributing. Especially since covid I can only keep a job for an average of 4-6 months.
      I don't contribute information as much as I just do the work. I get tired of waiting around and talking about it. So I guess everyone thinks I'm a show off and I think they're all lazy and unbelievably stupid. This obviously creates some tension on both sides.
      I really have come to the conclusion that the best thing to do is the least you possibly can. I have pride in my work so it's not easy to put this in to practice.

    I work with someone that comes into work immediately addressing issues she may have had on a previous shift. She monopolizes the opportunity first having seen you to communicate those to and it sometimes comes when I’m busy and am trying to add that now to my plate. She’s smart and knows the job details but she can take you to minutia city and the train is running nonstop!

    useful videos.
    in some cases, a few of these issues could be attributed to neurodiergency or someone being on the autism spectrum, or even just different communication styles. i wouldn't just assume an info-dumper is insecure. appreciate your bit about someone maybe not knowing how they come across, and just wanted to point out that there are many additional potential causes. communication is always better than an assumption. (not saying ask about medical stuff, just don't assume it's always as simple as a personality flaw)

    How do you tell the difference between an employee who is "being negative" and an employee who is pointing out the specific questions that customers will likely ask with the ne policy to find out how to answer their questions? I have been accused of "negativity" after a policy change - even though I kind of didn't like the old policy and had high hopes for the new one but, needed to know what to say to people. It was tricky because our previous manager did not present us with new policies but would talk through them with people and welcomed feedback. Other managers did not.

    • @makeda.andrews
      @makeda.andrews  2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Hi there!
      Thanks for your question as it's such a great one. Now when it comes to dealing with more of an abrasive type of employee it does require root analysis behind their behaviour, not just addressing the symptoms. So it depends a lot on current and past circumstances, as well as, team dynamics in general. This kind of thing is beyond the scope of what I could answer in a youtube video. That being said, how managers should address root causes is definitely something I cover in depth in my program. If you’re interested in learning these skills, please check out the program here: www.makedaandrews.com/nma-call/

    • @Amer1can1nfidel
      @Amer1can1nfidel ปีที่แล้ว +6

      The best way to deal with this type is honestly make them or let them fail. I used to be this personality type, and was kept hyped up so id do all the work - manager and other employees didn't care that I was disrespectful etc if I did all the work. once I stopped doing all the work, and wanted to be equal - I was pushed out as soon as possible. they could have let me fail and learn a hard lesson, but instead they hyped me and prolonged my lesson. "Give them all the smoke" if they're arrogant .. during this the analysis will happen when the employee self destructs .. because that's coming also.

    Some new starting managers shows dominance and arrogance resulting in bad behaviour managers overlook this as the employee not being a team player buts its because they dont want to be managed by someone who is new to the company that doesnt know much of the processes going on.
    1st step is try to understand each of your employees situation once they trust you they will work you.

    Wow. There is some good info here, but what do you do when you have a complaining gossiper who always comes to you, but acts like a know it all? I have one that is 4 of these traits in 1 person. Partly due to bad previous managers, partly due to bad habits that I cannot seem to break.
    Our team is expanding soon and I don't know how to lay down the law because underneath it all there is a solid employee. I just fear they will leave...but maybe I need to accept that is a reality.

    Had almost all of these in one employee; constantly missing deadlines, yes person, and insecure; double checking --its not acceptable at all.

      what a terrible comment- if you are serious you’re spending more energy avoiding work than helping your peers/clients/company. if this is the case- move on and find a position you actually care about more than yourself.

    Oof I feel like the tone of this is a little rough. A lot of these “issues” could easily be dealt with calm communication. No need to label someone as difficult just because they can’t read your mind.

      Im sorry you’ve had this experience Jimmy perhaps with your manager or managers in the past. I tend to think that sometimes there is an issue on both sides. But I do agree that it is not always just the employee and that’s not at all what I was trying to communicate in the video. My angle is always from a lens of ownership.

  • @edwindeas

    Re the employee who comes to you all the time... another reason might be they believe this is the way to "get in good" with their boss (brown nosing). But that could also be a response to your #5 (previous micro manager boss)
