So I've been at my new job for a little over 90 days. When I arrived I walked into the office and thought, "What a freaking mess!" Well come to find out I inherited three employees who brought an EEO law suit to the agency, people wouldn't talk to one another, back stabbing, gossip, etc. What a mess...So I put some very basic management into place; be on time, be prepared, do what you commited to, don't screw off, be proactive and don't hide problems. Well after 90 days of holding people accountable I've had two turn in their retirement papers. Oddly (or not) they were my top Problem Children, the ones who stirred up trouble and sucked the good people into the mess. Once they left the feeling in the air was amazing; people started humming, singing and laughing. The difference is night and day.
The next three quarters will bring them a new computer system, simplifed business processes and now that the dead wood is leaving, raises.
Just wanted to share.
