Empowerment Works: A Guide for Supervisors and Employees (How-To Book)

Empowerment is a kind of democracy in the workplace. Like democracy, empowerment frees us to make decisions and take action. And like democracy, empowerment requires that we recognize and establish boundaries within which effective decisions and actions can occur.

Imagine your own situation: Are you a manager or supervisor who comes in early, stays late, and gives 110 percent? Then delegation will help you improve your results while decreasing the time you spend at work. Do you wish your employees were more loyal to you or the organization? When you delegate well, your employees widen their horizons, develop new skills, and enjoy a new level of authority. That usually leads to an impressive increase in loyalty and commitment.

Article: Selling Your Ideas

All we have to do is look into a mirror. I know. It isn’t pleasant to consider that we could be responsible for our lack of success, but there it is. If we have not convinced someone, the onus is still on us to do so. It is not the decision maker’s job to convince him or herself of the idea’s merit.

The Fight Response (from Confronting Workplace Conflict™ for Managers)

It’s pretty obvious…yelling doesn’t help promote a respectful workplace or help make people feel included. It’s the same thing when dealing with conflict. Relationships get damaged, productivity dramatically decreases - people just shut down. Who wants to be yelled at? It’s unfortunate, but those who hit conflict straight on like that usually don’t know a better way to get things done.

Evaluating Performance & Progressive Discipline (from It's the Law™)

Evaluating Performance & Progressive Discipline (from It's the Law™)

Unless an immediate termination is called for because of severe misconduct or major error, most terminations are the culmination of inappropriate conduct, unsatisfactory performance, or poor attendance that have built up over time. Most organizations follow progressive discipline steps in these situations. And progressive discipline is usually required in union collective bargaining agreements. It’s important to be careful, fair, accurate, and consistent when issuing disciplinary or corrective actions—and when evaluating performance.

The Bottom Line (from Confronting Workplace Conflict™ for Managers)

The Bottom Line (from Confronting Workplace Conflict™ for Managers)

The most effective way to deal with conflict is to...Take a Moment....to get your composure. Identify a Positive Response… to move things forward in a positive way and break that typical fight, flight or freeze response. Manage Your Emotions...so you don’t overreact or take it personally. Remaining calm is good for you and for those you work with. Finally, envision a successful outcome. This is beneficial to you, those you work with and your organization.

Illegal Harassment (from It's the Law™)

Illegal Harassment (from It's the Law™)

Harassment is conduct motivated by a protected characteristic, that’s unwelcome, and severe or pervasive, and that unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment. That’s a mouthful, but it’s really not that hard to spot hostile environment harassment. For instance, when someone creates an uncomfortable work environment for another employee by always referring to them as “dinosaur,” “the old guy,” “grandpa,” or “Boomer,” it can be considered a form of illegal harassment. And it's a manager's responsibility to make sure it doesn't happen.

The Flight Response (from Confronting Workplace Conflict™ for Managers)

The Flight Response (from Confronting Workplace Conflict™ for Managers)

When we encounter conflict with co-workers, many times we get stressed out and we go into flight mode. When a problem causes me to take “Flight”, I typically do it because I’m afraid that I’ll upset someone and hurt that relationship. Simply put… I’m afraid they won’t like me. But here’s the rub. If I don’t act, the problem won’t go away, it will affect my work, the productivity of other team members and a whole lot more.

The Freeze Response (from Confronting Workplace Conflict™ for Managers)

It’s not uncommon for people to simply “freeze up” when another person tries to steamroll the situation. Yet, moments later we want to kick ourselves because we now know what we should have said - only it’s too late. At the same time, we think we’ll say the wrong thing and the person will get even more upset.

But we can't make exceptions. We must let them know that they need to help set the example. And anything they do that violates any part of our Code of Conduct or program - like retaliating against someone for reporting a violation - seriously undermines our organization's culture of integrity.
