Being friends with your employees is great. Letting them know they can talk
to you anytime is very important.But what is also important is that you
(02:14):
are the boss. You're running abusiness. This is your livelihood. You
have to be professional with any independentbusiness and different personalities. This can be
really difficult. If an employee isnot happy and starts making negative conversations personal,
(02:36):
there's a good chance you're going tostart feeling irritated. This is the
time to stop, to step back, calm down, don't be emotional,
but instead be professional when responding.Don't make it personal. Ask your employee
to present their case in a clear, precise way, and you listen.
(02:58):
Don't say anything until they are finished. When they are finished, repeat their
concerns to make sure it's clear.If they start to interrupt you, then
you can say, oh, I'msorry, I thought you were finished,
and then don't say anything. Itis very difficult to argue if only one
person is talking. Once the problemis clear, offer solution if you have
(03:22):
one. If not, ask themwhat they would suggest if you remain calm
and professional. Most of the time, if you remain calm and professional,
most problems will quickly find a solution. I had mentioned when listening to a
complaint or a discussion, it isimportant for you to listen. Listening sometimes
(03:42):
is not that easy, and tobe a good listener takes practice. So
how can you improve? Challenge yourselfwhenever you're listening to a conversation. Pretend
there's a test at the end,and you will have to list the three
most important items that conversation. It'snot as easy as you think, but
(04:03):
with practice and a little time,it'll soon become second nature. Another way
to know what you're heard is torepeat what the person said. This is
good for both the memory and clarification. And that's it for today's Insider Tips.
