What do you do when you have a problem
with a direct?
"What
do you do when you have a problem with a direct?"
This is more of a question for management. There are multiple ways you can
answer this, but you should show that you are responsible and that you know how
to resolve these types of problems.
Short Answers
"I
believe in open communication. I always analyze the problem and then tell my
direct clearly. I always provide steps that we both can take to deal with the
problem. This approach helps me because it shows my respect."
"In
this situation, I believe communication is very important. I'll usually have a
meeting with my direct on the problems I have. It's easier to work on a problem
together when everyone involved is aware, so I always communicate the problems
that I see."
"I
believe feedback is important to solve problems with a direct. I meet with my
directs regularly and always provide suggestions on how to improve. I also use
this time to work out problems we might have. It's important to let my directs
know where I stand so they don't have to make assumptions."
Long Answer
"Because
I'm the manager, I feel it's my responsibility to improve the relationship. If
the problem is work related, I'll narrow the problem down whether it's with his
working style or another type of problem and assist in anyway I can. This would
also involve providing feedback and suggestions on how to approach problems.
But if our personality's conflict then I would try to be more understanding." |
