- When I ask my least favorite employee to do something, I don’t mind if the employee doesn’t “get it” the first time. I’m willing to repeat myself in a patient tone.
- When I give instructions, I allow employees to ask questions and express any reservations.
- My personal dislike of an employee doesn’t influence how I communicate when I assign a task.
- Whenever I give instructions, I plan what I’m going to say.
- When I ask my least favorite employee to do something, I stick to describing the task, without injecting any personal comments.
- When I ask my least favorite employee to do something, I always explain the over-all goal first and allow him or her to suggest options.
- I’m comfortable telling an employee exactly how his or her behavior is creating a problem, and I do so in a tactful manner.
