You are the supervisor or manager of a department in an organization. In this leadership position’ you are liked by some employees and disliked by many others. How would you handle the negative comments or criticisms from the people who dislike you?
Remind myself (and them if I had to) that I’m not paid to be liked. My paycheck is based on supervising/managing the work for the company. If these employees were my "friends" before I was promoted they’d have to understand my JOB specs have changed not my FEELINGS towards them as people. If they can’t get with that…oh well…friends don’t pay the bills.
