A unique management strategy for dealing with toxic employees is the O.I.R. approach: Observations, Impact, and Redirect. This method involves having a one-on-one conversation with the employee, focusing on observed behaviors, their impact on the team, and ways to improve. Unlike confrontational methods, this approach emphasizes listening and understanding, helping managers address issues without making employees defensive.
Another unconventional leadership strategy is the C.T.R.M. framework: Clarity, Training, Resources, and Mindset/Motivation. This helps managers systematically address employee issues by ensuring they’ve provided clear expectations, adequate training, and necessary resources before addressing mindset and motivation. This structured method can help companies of all sizes improve employee performance and workplace culture, giving them an edge over competitors.
