Never admittingyou've done
anything wrong.

SOLUTIONS
A manager should make sure one’s communication style is positive and effective.
The employees, if they understand the situation correctly, should communicate the
problem to the supervisor, or to the higher management in order for the company to
take certain measures for solving the problem.
Any problem can and should be communicated both among the employees and up to
supervisors.
The atmosphere inside the company should be encouraging for effective
communication so that employees clearly realize how important communication is for
each staff member personally, and to the company in general.
It is very important for communication to be ‘two way’, as Business Performance
outlines, - employees should not only listen, but always have a chance, and beencouraged to ask questions, discuss, express own ideas.
Feedback mechanisms and sharing best practices internally should be an integral part
of organizational performance, and performance management system in particular.

SITUATION
The problem: The employee
starts pondering the pros
and cons of padding theschedule versus impressing
you, the boss. This has
nothing to do with how
much time the work will
actually take.
The alternative: Begin the
interaction as a planning
session instead of a quiz.
“Let’s sketch out a rough
plan,” you might suggest,“so that we can figure out
how long this project might
end up taking.”
Manager/Head
Employee
How long will ittake you to finish
the report?
How busy I am!
