Navigate Difficult Employee Conversations with Confidence

macrolearning

Let's face it, managers often know in advance which conversations with employees will be challenging. This could be due to an employee's recent inappropriate behavior or perhaps a sudden, unannounced absence. Managers often hesitate to directly address criticism during these talks to avoid upsetting the employee. However, in challenging conversations, transparent communication and an open attitude are essential. Some managers also struggle to remain respectful and keep a cool head in difficult situations, which hinders constructive dialogue and successful conflict resolution.
