When there is misunderstanding in a working environment, the vibes of the business will gradually dies off. Just imagine in a business circle where you have 30 workers and there is a cold war between them, your business will lack progress. This is because the time and energy they are suppose to be channeling into the business itself, they are busy using it to gossip and quarrel.
This is why as the C.E.O incharge of such company, make sure you go against such act. Make sure people that go against this act got punished severely. The penalty might be half of their salary or something more severe. If you don't apply strict measures against such act, your workers will crippled your business.
I was told a story long time ago about how a wealthy man called Victor lost his business to such act. Mr Victor owns a very big company in his home town. The business hit apex and spread across continent. He became billionaire controlling different asset. He was rated high among the elite. This shows you the caliber of man he is. At first he was very dedicated to his business but as time goes on, he later did not have the chance to take care of his business. Mismanagement begin to set in. When the workers will have misunderstanding, he won't make himself available to give verdict. Sometimes he will just dismiss both parties with no punishment. Since his workers knows that he doesn't apply strict measures, unnecessary quarrel became the other of the day.
When all this was happening, Mr Victor was applying deaf ears. It goes beyond just being enemy, gossiping, quarreling and other things started creeping in. Funny enough, his workers started using working time for gossip. This affects production badly and business take a downtrend. This is where he got knocked out of business. He could have averted this by doing the right thing.
Misunderstanding can be defined or seen as the act of not understanding something properly. This can lead to fighing, quarreling etc.
As a good CEO, you have to make sure that you do everything within your powers to make sure your business stand the test of time. Since we all know that misunderstanding can result to quarrel, we have to implore different strategies that will make workers deviate from such act.
- Educate them on how good it is to be at peace with everybody: You should always try your best to make sure your workers are educated on how to be their brothers keeper. Preach peace and love in their midst everyday.
- Organise get together meeting; Try to organise get together party and give room for them to state their challenges as per working as team. This should be noted and used to work for the benefit of the company.
- Set rules for workers to follow: Make sure you set rules for your workers to follow. Let them know how important the laid down rules is. If they fail to adhere to it, punishment shall be given to them.
- Punish defaulters: Try your possible best to make sure that you punish any body that default the laid down rules and relegation. The punishment can come in different form. It can be;
i. Deduction of salary: If your punishment fall into this category, some of your salary will be deducted or if the act you commited deserve stronger punishment, then all your salary might be ceased.
ii. Cleaning and clearing of the business environment; You will run sanitation for some given time period. At least it will make the environment clean.
- Set good example; Since you are the CEO of the company, you should make sure that you lead by example. Stick to the laid down rules.
Since misunderstanding brings about distraction, it should not be entertained in business or business environment. Failure to stick to the laid down rules and regulation should be punished severely. Once you punish one or two person, the others will learn lessons from them.
