A Shouting Boss
I shout at my staff as and when required. This is because I believe in on the spot blame or praise. This way everyone knows their true status. They also come to know what they should avoid. But I have many employees who are breaking rules. What should I do?
Answer: You are a type who believes in bullying people. Think of using more tact than loud voice. Your office is where people spend their good part of the day. They make special effort to reach to work, being present at work etc. Please do not shout at a person in presence of others. For others to follow your rules, they have to be made agreeable in the first place. Also check your all instructions and communications for clarity, logic and right tonal quality.

Hi, i agree the one minute manager will work wonderful here. Why do people feel like they need to shout to make others listen. talk to them nicely - just like the one-minute manager - about punishing the things being done, not making derogating remarks about the individual. Read it, will help you to be a better person all round, not only in the office.

Hi
It is very apt to know the different tempraments your staff possess, be a good listener, most of the problems you are trying to profer solutions to, would have been gotten through the time you are listening to them. Remember, respect begets respect. A cool of thirty seconds solves an anger of minutes. More importantly study yourself and your temprament. This will result in high productivity.

Dear Peer,
When I was studying my PG. I use to think peoples should listen to me at any how, perticularly subordinates & will control them etc etc.
But when I completed my PG Cource & joined the ART OF LIVING ORGANIZATION (WELL KNOWN SPRITUAL FOUNDATION) and did some meditation cources. Deer Peer where actually I learnet how to work in a group and handle the team.
Generally subordinates may listen to the boss and say some other things behind, what is the use of such team. If you are shouting at subordinates may be doing the same thing with your family members also. Deer peer, the scnerio is changed if you want to work in a team, achieve the good results & built up the team for long run, then need to stop shouting at them. Team should be always open for discussion, please come out of old management style, be very simple and kind the subordinates automatically start respecting & following you. This is my WORDS I experienced it.

Shouting dosent resolve the issue, its just disturbes both the parties, one who shouts and the other who faces it. Let me explain
A) Effect on you :- When you shout, your blood pressure shoots up suddenly, sudden shoot up of pressure with damage you heart and also brain. I dont know if you have experienced, but after you shout for few munites you thinking power stops, your response level takes time, what you do is drink a glass of water, maybe a coffee / tea or smoke. So what is happening is there is chain reaction created where it damages your health. Forget your work being done your health is damaged. If possible think when you had shouted, and what did you do after that. There are cases where people have collapsed while shouting either by brain hamorage or storke. So next time when you shout think about the after effects.
B) When you shout you are trying to put a wrong message across. I understand maybe the subordinate hasnt done the assignment as per your requirment. But here is a good chance to develop him. Speak to him, as a boss we have loads of work, but remember, he is your team player, he fails you fail. Spend some time with him understand where is he going wrong, what is stopping him? Councel him, mentor him. Even if the employee is making same mistake, understand what the problem is. I am sure if you tackel the problem in this method, you would get the result as per your requirment, also remember, the word Human resources, your subbordinate is a resource for you to achive your results. Respect him and his work.
I also understand you may face a goon, no problem politely ask him to go.
I am sure you would agree, "No one is perfect, But as a boss its our responsiblty to make him perfect".
Just observe, your hand, every one has 5 fingers, ( Some have more fingers, thats exception), all hte five fingers are not of one size, but each one has its uniquness, same gose for our team members, not everyone would be like you, But everyone has some uniquness, identify the strenghts and weakness and take everyone togethers.

it was nicely written that the shouting will not get you the resolution for your issues.
Instead of waisting your time on shouting which creates the long distance in between your relation. you should have to get some different ways to let them know with the point or which are practically can handled ....like brieffng ,,,lack of mativation.

Dear firend, Screaming or bulling around the peers or one down are nothing big deed-any one can do, it is as if beating a caged lion, but the skilled one will use tack of personal communication to create interest in the human whom you are dealing with to productive and efficient at low cost.
