Strategy Bites
Short, Sharp, and Clear
You’re dealing with an employee whose behavior is volatile and unprofessional, and this is creating frustration and discomfort. To avoid long-term damage to your working relationship, you need to establish firm boundaries now. This tactic helps you keep the situation from escalating by clearly communicating what behavior won’t be tolerated, without diving into a deep discussion about the root of the issue. This ensures that the message gets across, but you don’t overcommit to solving things prematurely.
