Criticism & Discipline for Managers and Supervisors

Delivering feedback, criticism or appropriate disciplinary action to effectively solve employee performance problems can be difficult and tricky, even for the most seasoned managers.

Many managers retreat when it comes to criticizing and disciplining employees. Why? Because they fear the inevitable confrontation associated with telling team members that they need to change their behavior, attitude or way of working. You can't avoid it! Ignoring the problem will only damage the morale of your team, increase conflict with other team members and undermine your authority as a manager. Not only that, you have an obligation to your organization, to your team and to problem employees if they aren't falling in line and meeting expectations.

But it doesn't have to be difficult. Properly planned and delivered constructive criticism can lead to improved performance — immediately! Learning how to bring about a positive change in your employees is critical to your success as a manager and to the success of every member of your team.

Don't rely on "shoot from the hip" skills to perform the most important tasks in employee development. Remember that discipline isn't about dismissal; it's all about development. Learning to deal effectively with those employees who need extra guidance and feedback will improve your team's performance and productivity, enhance your professional reputation and lower everyone's stress level.
