How to Handle Workplace Tantrums
Roberto Lico – licoreis@licoreis.com.br
Dear reader,
Thank you for your interest in learning how to better deal with a
Tantrum-prone Employee.
Our main intention is to share different approaches, based on
internet research aiming to improve the working environment and
companies and employees´ achievements.
A "tantrum employee" refers to an employee who frequently
displays disruptive and emotionally charged behavior in the
workplace, similar to a child throwing a tantrum.
Such behavior can include outbursts of anger, frustration, or
emotional breakdowns that disrupt the normal functioning of the
workplace.
Tantrum employees can be challenging to manage and can
negatively impact the work environment, productivity, and team
dynamics.

I. Main Characteristics of a
Tantrum-prone Employee:
Here are some common characteristics of a
tantrum employee:
▪ Emotional Outbursts: They may react to
stress, criticism, or unfavorable situations
with emotional outbursts, such as yelling,
crying, or displaying visible anger.
▪ Inability to Control Emotions: Tantrum
employees may struggle to control their
emotions, leading to impulsive and disruptive
behavior.

3
▪ Disruptive Behavior: Their behavior can
disrupt the workflow and create tension
among coworkers.
▪ Poor Conflict Resolution Skills: They often
have difficulty resolving conflicts in a
constructive manner and may escalate
disagreements.
▪ Negativity: They may consistently exhibit a
negative attitude, which can affect team
morale.
▪ Resistance to Feedback: Tantrum employees
may be resistant to feedback and not open to
constructive criticism or suggestions for
improvement.

Managing a tantrum employee can be
challenging, and it often requires a combination
of empathy, communication, and, if necessary,
disciplinary actions to address their behavior and
encourage more appropriate conduct in the
workplace.
It's important for employers and managers to
provide support and resources to help
employees manage their emotions and develop
better coping strategies.
