It's difficult to make a habit of, sure, but takes relatively little and produces dividends when needed. It's not about documenting their "fight" and looking petty, but documenting everything as a matter of professionalism. | |

If a manager needs to constantly borrow the authority of someone else (boss, HR), that only works if that someone else has authority that isn't borrowed, otherwise the house of cards collapses. | |
| Jun 30, 2016 at 1:51 | comment | added | Thomo | @industry7 - it makes a lot of sense. A new manager coming in and throwing their weight around because of a disagreement is going to make things worse and most likely put the rest of the team off-side. If she was that much of an issue, senior management would have dealt with it. Avoid needlessly antagonizing anyone and inflaming the situation further. Instead, present a plan for change/improvement - get her to buy in on it and take ownership of part, acknowledge her experience and recognize achievements. It's better to work with than against. | |
| Jun 29, 2016 at 21:36 | comment | added | blankip | @industry7 - I manage managers - if a new one wanted to write up a long standing employee based on opinion and hearsay I would not be happy. No way our HR would allow a formal write up. Even a new manager needs to prove themselves out. | |
| Jun 29, 2016 at 21:00 | comment | added | industry7 | "you are new. I doubt you have leverage to put someone on written notice after they just went to HR about you. In fact if you can, your HR may be totally clueless. " That doesn't really make sense. The fact that this person has been placed into a management position explicitly gives them the "leverage" to deal with insubordinate behavior. edit: accidentally hit enter instead of ctrl+enter before I was done | |

What's a phone 1-2-1?
