    Notes on slide 1

    Learn to identify behaviors that can signal an anger challenged manager, co-worker, etc. Utilize a positve system to report these behaviors to Human Resources or higher level of management for further investigation. Do not wait,

    Interview reporting staff to determine whether indications warrant further review. Interview the individual who is displaying anger to determine why they may be angry at work. Offer positive solutions for stress and anger control or refer the individual to the company EAP if approproiate and available.

    Tackle the possible organizational issues that may be creating the stress and anger within your organization and work to solve these challenages.

    If anger is inbred in an organization’s leaders this becomes a difficult but important concern. The costs of anger are too high, in the long run, for an organiztion to be most productive and long standing. Retention of key personnel becomes an issue, if the leadership creates a culture that tolerates, or encourages, anger in the work placle. Legal issues will also become an issue that cuts profits and porductivity.

    Managers require training, support and good leadership. Coaching or meotring managers, especially new managers on acceptable behaviors within the work place and behaviors that are explicitly NOT acceptable for contrast. By contrasting unacceptable behaviors are specifically identified and will not be tolerated.

    Do not assume that they will learn civility and self-management outside of work. Though this requires time, resources and management attention, it will pay off in increased organizational productivity and employee loyalty.

    Assist where possible executives and employees to survive the stress at work. This will prevent problems and create an environment where positive performance can thrive.

    When an individual with anger management issues is identified, assist by conducting an anger management program rather than replacing the individual or expect an outside agency to fix your “problem”. Programs can be tailored for your specific requirements. Some have a 2 day seminar and individual coaching if individuals require additional support.

    It can send the wrong message and opening your organization up to harassment law suits. Leaders must be strong with this Zero Tolerance.

    Respect diversity of opinion, Create a safe way to express appropriate levels of stress and frustration. Always look to build a better environment and culture.

    Don’t say, “You need to calm down,” or “it’s not that big of a deal!” It is better to acknowledge the fact they are angry with words like, “Well, I can see that this really upsets you,” or “I can see that you are angry about this!” Staying focused helps them to get past their anger. See if you can get permission from them to find out what makes them angry. Or better yet, see if they would be willing to get feedback from you about how their outbursts impact you and your work performance.

    A leader must learn to express all of their emotions appropriately. Specifically, they must learn to manage their anger and use it sparingly and with the intent of solving a problem for the sake of the organization. Refrain from demeaning, exaggerated or untrue comments.
