Do You Manage With a Quick Tongue to Keep Staff in Line?

by Steve Marr | Articles, Business

Do you intimidate your staff with a quick tongue and harsh words?

Proverbs 16 reads, “He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty” (v. 32 NASB).

Some managers and supervisors believe that using a quick temper will keep folks in line.

Displaying a quick temper will cause staff to become intimidated. And, your temper will cause them not to come forth with new, fresh ideas that will help grow your business.

Nobody will want to volunteer any information, idea or differing perspective if they risk having their head cut off. Would you?

Keep your anger in check and get the most out of your staff.
