5. Unproductive Employees.
Whim employees have taken over and management is afraid to discipline and to enforce policies, procedures and
job expectations, there is a serious problem! This occurs when management comes off as a friend or peer instead of
as a well respected authority figure. This happens when leaders are worried about the consequences of what others
may say about them. Unfortunately, when employees are unproductive everyone is under scrutiny and heads usually
role when the company is losing money. The goal is to motivate, instruct and to hold people accountable for their
actions. If some employees work hard while others do less, it causes resentment and it encourages low quality work
and performance.
In order to get rid of dysfunction in the workplace one must recognize the signs and devise a plan of correction. You
can also hire a confiict resolution professional to assist with the process. When chaos hits don't turn a blind eye, take
action'
