kunleweb: He will need to be on the watch for diabolical attacks only if he starts firing people unnecessarily. Nobody needs to be fired because they worked well with his father. He should manage them well and make them work well for him like they worked with his father. |

You not fit for the post so talking all the teachers as enemy will be bad for you also because it can depreciate the popularity of the sch , need to be closer to the old staffs and study the bad eggs among them and flosh them out but u can’t sack them all just the bad ones , that’s how order can be mentain |

All ur actions are in the same track, my brother let me tell u if possible sack them all and make a fresh intake of Teachers if not all ur effort will be in vain. However, the ego u took is good decision if not they will turn the school as family enterprise. Henceforth u shldnt allow any staff to collect any pinch from the parent of ur ward. God bless ur effort, God bless ur Establishment yo a greater high. |

Jokerman:You should not be worried about people that talk at your back. It shows you're still the boss. If they start talking to your front, then there is fire on the mountain. Right now I don't think you have a real problem. Treat them with the golden rule, and everything will work out for you. I don't believe the guy is disrespectful because he thinks he's older than you, that would be ridiculous. It is a workplace and not village town meeting. |

Jokerman: You shouldn't be moved by side talk. The school is your inheritance, guard it jealously and take it to a higher standard than your parents ever could. Majority of the staff there don't give a rat's ass about your father's business. It's left to you. Don't forget, whether oga makes money or not, the wages of his staff must be complete. 1 Like |

I have run different companies for the past 20 years. Present on run a business i have 12 people on my pay roll, so when I talk I am talking with experience. Now repeat after me... I am the boss I am the boss I am the boss After that sinks in and you now believe that you are boss and final responsibly for the business lies with you, start behaving like the boss. Anyone that challenge your authority or defy your official instruction should be fired. Tell your mom, that you are the boss, and the responsibility for the success or failure of the business lies on your head. You need to change key senior management staff, like the head teacher. Since you are young and inexperienced, the tendency is for staff to remain loyal to the senior management staffs, and they would be trying to undermine your authority. Carry out a recruitment exercise or at least threaten to carry one out. There are tons of applicants looking for jobs. You will even be overwhelmed by the turnout. The old staff would see that hundreds are ready to take their place and start feeling threatened, they feel too comfortable and secure. After all these try and communicate with the staffs directly, always ask them their opinions before taking major decisions. Also try and give some incentives no matter how small, to loyal and hard workers. |

healthserve: 60. To be honest he was really telling this staff to stop collecting the fees, Buh they wouldn't just stop. Before he died he told me to make sure o did so, and even after he died, he still appeared to me about the money collection stuff |
Re: How Do I Handle This Issue At Work? by Nobody: 6:01pm On Dec 28, 2019 |
My brother, pay the old staffs off and thank me later. I have been in the same situation with you, I did that and I Never regretted the move ..... because you wouldn't have 100 percent loyalty of the old staffs. They will become principalities and power. Choice is yours anyway |

Some years ago I was sent to man a branch where there was an issue. I noticed the security personnels were already doubling as admin staffs, so they were ashamed to wear uniforms. I quickly summoned the entire team, and informed them that things will be done a little differently henceforth. I also conveyed my expectations expect everyone to conduct his/herself in the best possible way. A few complied, others blatantly refused, I came to work on a certain monday and recommended 6 of the erring staff be removed, infact my MD called and was very angry with me for not doing that earlier. Sack and replace all of them. ALL 1 Like |

If you can follow these simple processes you will have a happy School, but I will have to scold you first, leadership is not about giving orders in fact a super leader doesn't give order.... You need to attend leaders seminar and learn, don't let the post get in your head. Now to my advice 1). Called them one by one (individually and privately) and talk apologetically to them. E.g I might have offended you in some ways, but you know nobody is perfect and blah blah blah. 2). Do something extrasalary for them like hold a meeting to appreciate them and give them the hampers or whatever... 3). Never scold any of your employees publicly, it's not the character of a good leader. 4). Be the last person to speak on every issue. |

Oga boss, you are doing fine, but you can do better I believe. Try not to be bossy Try to be an effective leader Communicate more People management is a must have skill. Whatever you do, don’t sack them all, you need them to succeed, all you need do is to WIN THEIR TRUST. If you sack them as some people here are advising trust me that might mean the beginning of the end for the organization, even you admitted that they have strong bond with parents and members of the environment, they can easily set the school up for failure , trust me they have nothing to loose. 1 Like |

The answer is very simple, this is what you should do. place an advert for teachers recruitment in a place very close to the entrance of the school. Now, grant interview for those who came, tell them you will get to them. Let us see if those your teacher would not sit tight. |

Well You did wrong by scolding the security guy in the open, You should have accorded him so respect by calling him to your office privately or doing such in a secluded area. Also you can't win against all teachers, kids will go home and tell thier parents that mommy our school has sacked almost half of our teachers, and that will send a red flag that there is internal crisis. Some of those teachers have a soft spot within parents heart. Sending majority of them away won't go down well when discussed in the PTA meeting. You need better collaboration, so I agree to setting up a meeting. The school fees collection style you changed was adept, you need visibility to be able to manage funds. Kudos to that. However cultivate the habit of correcting in private, I don't even scold my younger siblings infront of thier friends , I do it in private because I don't want them to feel embarassed.....I know how that can be Lastly read books on leadership because managing people is the toughest thing to do. 2 Likes |

oga, give them time everything will soon be over because they will soon get to it and dont sack any staff unless you want the parent to see you as the bad egg. inasmuch as they are doing the right thing in your presence i swear that is a positive thing... never mind their gossip,no mind it they do it within themselves. more blessing. |
