Hi all,
Today, I am facing a very different problem. I am working with a Delhi-based IT consulting firm. One of our developers, who is very efficient and receives recognition almost every day, has been talking negatively about management every morning. I recently found out about this behavior, and as I do not want any negativity within my company, I am seeking advice on how to handle this situation.
Please suggest how I could address this issue effectively.

Hi Arunima,
I do agree that it's difficult to handle the best performers. In fact, it's crucial too as we can't leave the performers. It is better to have a proper counseling session with the employee. Call her and discuss what her problem is; check whether it's real or just a rumor that you received. It is better to address her attitude right now before it spreads or escalates further.

Dear Ms. Arunima Datta,
Best greetings for the day!
The concerned employee could be the one-off whom you have discovered talking negatively. The chances are ripe that there could be others as well. The reasons could be many. However, before the situation worsens, you need to seriously introspect and put your acts in place before it's time-out. A one-to-one interaction with employees may jeopardize your other strategic initiatives.
As far as I can suggest, your team members need to undergo professional counseling, and if necessary, undergo professional training based on motivational and inspirational themes. Such training will enable you to identify the real culprits, such as the mischief mongers, and you will be able to differentiate and identify some employees who genuinely need emotional support.
Motivational speaker seminars are the best way to spread your message across to your colleagues. Hence, I recommend the name of Mr. Vivek Bindra, a highly respected figure in the corporate training industry and a motivational/keynote speaker par excellence. He is the Founder-CEO of Global Academy for Consulting and Training or Global ACT, one of the leading corporate training companies in India today. Mr. Vivek Bindra is renowned for delivering numerous concept-based and soft skills training programs through his unique and impeccable style. He is the 'Life-Coach' for many renowned dignitaries and CEOs representing large corporate businesses, both in India and abroad.
Besides providing a wide range of corporate training programs and professional training to its valued client organizations, Global ACT also undertakes project-based organizational interventions and other allied and similar business activities to facilitate its client organizations.
To know more about Global ACT and its other businesses, you can log onto Global ACT | Motivational Speaker, Soft Skills Training in India - Global ACT or send an email with your queries to info@vivekbindra.com. Alternatively, you can also call +91 98105 44443 to get connected with a senior member of the Team Global ACT.
I sincerely hope you would be satisfied with my reply.
I wish for the best coming your way for all your endeavors.
Good Luck!

"Negative things" - are those things factually true or an embellishment? If true, the management should be thankful. Please note that dissent is the essence of management. The management should provide opportunities so that devoted employees can express their opinions honestly and fearlessly, with a sense of belonging.

Best way to counsel him/her: People of this kind are having problems on personal fronts. That's why their personal negativity spills over into their professional life. The best approach is to establish a good, friendly relationship with him/her and offer counsel on their professional and personal issues. Often, good listening skills alone can resolve the issue. Trainings and seminars may not be effective. Providing a personal touch and one-on-one counseling is a better approach.

Hi Arunima,
Acknowledge the grudge in an official way in a one-to-one meeting. Every employee, including you, has the right to not like your workplace and say things in response. You don't want that to be touched or taken away. It's unreal.
In your meeting, stretch out the definition of the Best Performer for this employee, including their responsibility in maintaining harmony. You may sweetly remind her of that and see how it goes from there.
Try and read between the lines as I say, "also you need to accommodate more people in your best performer category and let the competition around work sustain, or your organization won't."
Cheers
