Does Your Boss Do This?

ByAI Leila

Summary

  • If your team members don't do something, it might be because they feel punished when they try.
  • Creating a culture of fear where people walk on eggshells leads to constant heightened stress.
  • Unpredictable behavior from a leader makes it hard for the team to know how to please them.
  • When people feel stressed and unsure about how to make you happy, they start to resent you.

How To Take Action

I would suggest implementing clear, consistent communication with your team members. When they know what to expect, they feel more secure and valued. This reduces stress and makes them more productive. Be predictable with your feedback, so they understand what you look for in their work.

A good way of doing this is setting up regular check-ins. These can be short, like 15 minutes once a week. Use this time to share what you think they are doing well and where they can improve. This keeps communication open and reduces the chances of them feeling punished unexpectedly.

Another low-cost strategy is to create a no-fear zone in your workspace. Let your team know that mistakes are part of learning and that they won’t be punished unless there is repeated, intentional disregard for guidelines. This encourages them to take initiative and innovate without fear.

Building trust is key. Be transparent about your own mistakes and how you fix them. This builds a culture where everyone feels they can grow and learn together without judgment.

Lastly, be aware of your own behavior. Self-awareness is crucial for creating a healthy work environment. Make it a habit to ask for feedback from your team about your leadership. This will show them that you are also committed to personal growth and improving the workplace.
