Caculative subordinate

How do you guys deal with subordinate that are caculative about work? Worst of all is you are not her reporting officer and she dont work related to her reporting officer...

Not only caculative, not efficiency and defensive too...
 


erm... if u r not her reporting officer, then how can she be subordinate leh?

anyway, i do have a colleague who is very "clever" for working life. guess in every organisation there are bound to be this kind of ppl trying to float around. cant avoid, juz have to accept and deal with the person tactfully.

since she is calculative and not being efficient, task her things step by step and do ask nicely. no one will really like to be ordered around everytime and by everyone. monitor her brhaviour and tackle from there.
 
well, her 90% of work is oversee by me, and the reality is her RO is not me. and what the RO does is to use eye power to observe her work and ears to listen to her complaints about work.

The fact is the work she is currently doing is very much of routine work.

Btw, she is a foreigner
 
hi, i used to have a 'subordinate' whom is like that.. worst of all.. when i tendered.. the mgr actually asked her to take over my position.. had a hard time handing over as she's really slow.. ie.. do other things than to come take over from u. imagine i had a mth to hand over, at the end.. i still gotta go back on sunday which is oredi over my notice to hand over to her. she is a local, 40+ yrs old. but being older than me doesn't give the excuse of being less efficient. I believe alot of ppl at this age is still very fast moving. My case is abit similiar to u.. she knows she gotta do it.. but like act blur.. so at the end i can't wait n do it myself. its a beri bad mgmt way.. n she will show me 'blackface' if i push her to finish the things i want. or when explaining to her. cos i believe once u understand the concept, anything that u face, u will know how to handle it. if i were to juz give her the answer to this prob.. next time when she met the similiar prob.. she won't be able to solve.
 
Being a reporting superior, rather than lamenting about the subordinates, we should find out how to control their behaviours and make them productive and efficient than being in a limbo. No?

Such character traits are everywhere. Is either that you know how to motivate, handle and shape their behaviour or just face the same thing over and over again.
 
*nod nod* agree with Hei Bee Hiam.

u should be "moulding" them so that they will be more efficient. make it a win-win situation
