Got Bad Employee Attitudes?
Who knows what evil lurks in the minds of our bad employees or where the heck they came from? Bad employee attitudes spring from many places. Sometimes the root cause of bad attitudes, poor performance, or unacceptable behavior is just ego, sometimes it is an unhappy or turbulent home life, sometimes drugs or alcohol, or even some kind of chemical imbalance like too much testosterone or estrogen. And, okay, in other cases (let's face it) you may simply be working with sociopaths or psychopaths. However, if I have learned anything in my career, it's that my diagnosis has been wrong way too many times.
In addition to owning my fallible judgements and inadequately informed diagnosis, considering how pressure from working with me might be spawning bad employee attitudes would have been a smart move. Acknowledging my own culpability for a bad employee attitude was hard for me to even think about, but once I saw the problem from another angle besides my own, I realized that my own behaviors had seriously complicated some workplace relationships and definitely brought the worst out of many "bad employees!"
