Polish up your communication skills and get ready to manage these people who rob you and the team of time and energy. Here are the top four problems currently seen in the workplace. They come in the form of egotists, chronically absent, skill gap and time wasters.
Egotists
Issue: Employee or co-workers who think of themselves as indispensable and have a superior attitude. Their untouchable attitude is upsetting and will lower morale unless the manager addresses this off-putting behavior. Rules don’t apply to them and they will alienate others forcing the group to work in silo.
