When we start our professional day with a feeling that it will take you away from your recurring family frictions and tensions, that's certainly a disbelief you take along. Our family gives us the earliest learning as an individual. These learnings and experiences make us unique as an individual and help us in establishing relationships at workplace as well.
All our inter-personal skills from making alliances, resolving issues and conflicts, and our approach towards tough challenges, all of these are highly critical for efficiently managing and balancing our workplace life. Needless to say if we fail to learn these traits, we may suffer or struggle at our work place to set our wings around.
At workplace, no matter how much we try to become professional and avoid being ourselves, we end up reacting to situations as our family members or our parents react in certain situations. When we are in distress, we expect from our managers to behave as our mentor or indirectly as our parents to guide and support us.
Yes, this is absolutely true that we create family dramas in the office!
The C-suite generally fells prey to this situation when they become the dumping ground for different emotions exhibited by employees due to their unresolved issues. For many employees, colleagues may incite some uncontrolled feelings that include anger, resentment, envy, affection, etc. If a certain individual has any past experience with such emotions, these feelings may become intense and can either resolve it or complicate it.
It is however, unfortunate that individuals can't run with these emotions, but what good they can do is to mould these emotional learnings into positively reacting towards the situations as they are completely aware which action instigates what reaction..!
Here, managers play a strong role as emotional therapists. Majority of times they are at receiving ends of these outbursts and it is a part of their job to tactfully handle these situations and bring back the confidence and positive vigor towards work among the individuals.
It can be termed as the Boss Therapy and it can do wonders when the managers take up the step to neutralize the emotional distress through some periodical sessions or if needed may take them when necessary. Many organizations have started this process in order to bring out more productivity from employees through establishing a stress free work culture. This is achieved through these psycho-analysis sessions. The performance review exercise within organizations can also be a great platform that they can identify which individuals need it most and can be scheduled for them accordingly.
TeamWise Performance Review System allows the employees to give themselves the ratings and comment on their performance. Here, they may also make their supervisors aware if they are dissatisfied with anything, on which a further action can be taken. This will definitely bring a solution to their problem and will encourage them to become more open and dedicated towards the organizations as well as their bosses!!
Thus, become the stress-busting Boss..!!
