Employee Types

职员的类型


Difficult employees often fail to conduct themselves in a professional manner. Here are some common types of difficult employees.
难搞定的员工经常没有用专业的方式表现自己。下面是难搞定员工的一些常见类型。

Employees who make excuses: Employees who make excuses try to avoid responsibilities when things go wrong. If a manager is too accepting of excuses, employees will keep making them. So it’s better to set clear expectations about how employees should behave.
找借口的员工：当事情出错时，找借口的员工设法避免承担责任。如果一个经理对借口太过于接受，职员就会一直找借口。所以对职员应该怎样表现设置一个明确的要求会更好。

Employees who gossip: Employees who gossip spread rumors and talk about people behind their backs. If they hear confidential information, they will likely to tell other people. They can cause serious divisions within a team by creating distrust.
说长道短的员工：说长道短的员工传播谣言，而且在人背后谈论人。如果他们听到了机密信息，他们很可能会告诉其他人。他们可以通过制造不信任，在团队内导致严重的分裂。

Negative employees: Negative employees often complain about their job or company. Over time their attitude can spread to their co-workers and lower team morale. To deal with negative employees, try to find out what is causing their negativity. By understanding why they are being negative, you could help them improve their attitude.
负面的员工：负面的员工经常抱怨他们的工作或者公司。随着时间的推移，他们的态度能够传播给他们的同事，降低团队士气。要搞定负面的员工，得设法找到是什么导致他们的消极性。通过理解他们为什么变得消极，你就能帮助他们改善他们的态度。

Egotistical employees: Egotistical employees are self-centered. They always claim to be right and they are not willing to accept other people’s opinions. They often put their needs before the needs of the team which makes them bad team players.
自我主义的员工：自我主义的员工是以个人为中心的。他们总是宣称自己是正确，并且他们不愿意去接受别人的观点。他们经常把他们的需求放在团队需求的前面，这样会让他们在团队里变成一个不好的成员。

3.学习反馈
I've met all of the four types of employees above. And sometimes we may be part of them. For example, if everyone except you in your team makes excuses when things go wrong, you may be the black sheep that lowers team morale and take all the responsibilities that probably not belong to you. That's very common in many companies. So you'd better conduct yourself in a professional manner to protect yourself, like making your leader happy and a good relationship with other team members even the most egotistical one. I'm not gossiping or negative. That's all the confidential experience that I share with you.
