Boss needs to find ways to get an “intimidating” female employee to tone it down without being sexist or ageist.
I’m the director of a small organization, with an employee whom I may have to fire if I can’t turn the situation around soon. She reports directly to me and supervises the rest of the employees below her. I greatly rely on her, we have a supportive working relationship and she’s good at her job. However, her communication style has resulted in regular complaints from staff, customers and even the executives to whom I report.
I have talked to her before about toning it down. What I’m essentially looking for — Be nicer! Smile more! Soften your voice! Stop being bossy and yet be a boss! — is sexist and degrading. It’s also pointless to ask someone to change their personality. Your job as her boss is to identify and articulate when her behavior crosses the line from boisterous to bullying, such as sarcasm, name-calling and mockery. For example: “When you made that loud joke about that customer’s mistake, they told us they felt insulted. I know that wasn’t your intent, but we can’t have that.”Or, when her meticulousness crosses into micromanaging: “I understand it bothers you when people follow a different procedure, but as long as X happens, that’s all I care about.
