| Co-Worker Turmoil August 9th, 2016 by Bill Boyajian |
I received so many comments on a recent message on Human Capital – as well as a suggestion or two – that I thought I’d follow it up with an often neglected, but very important aspect of teamwork: turmoil amongst co-workers.
Most owners and managers don’t realize how much unproductive time is wasted with the bickering of employees. One co-worker doesn’t get along with another, so he avoids the other at all cost. Of course that occurs after verbal attacks have been inflicted against each person. A failure to communicate properly, or worse, building cliques within a department or company, causes alienation, frustration, anger, and often downright animosity within the group. It’s true. Some people just push others’ buttons. But the negative energy generated from the angst of one associate against another is enough to justify some serious inquiry and resolution. Too often, leaders simply avoid these situations, hoping they will somehow resolve on their own. They seldom do, so take the time necessary to intervene. If the situation persists after serious intervention, you’ll have to take stronger action, up to and including termination.

“I needed help orchestrating a succession plan for our business. I had heard that Bill Boyajian specialized in assisting owners to transition their business to the next generation. He knows how to bridge the generation gap and deliver what each needs to hear. I would recommend Bill to any business owner who needs advice on succession planning from a trusted outside professional.”

"Our family needed some guidance on business transition and succession planning. We asked Bill Boyajian to help us because we knew we could trust him to tell us what we needed to hear. Bill became a valuable resource for our company and our entire family. He has the ability to meet each of us where we’re at and it has served us very well."

“We needed a plan to transition our business to a non-family member and we asked Bill Boyajian to help us. His experience in the area has really paid off, but we didn’t expect the added value of putting us together with a financial planner who helped organize our retirement needs. We now have the fundamentals to transition our business successfully, and we have Bill to thank for it.”
