As a business owner or manager, how would you manage a staff considered as pompous by other staff?

[King Belieal]

In some business organisations, strife still exists within the workforce. There are some staff that's feel threatened by a fellow staff colleague. They always make all sorts of negativity around a particular staff, claiming he or she is pompous or proud.

In proper man management, how should a business handle that?

In a matter of fact, the manager would transfer the services for that particular staff ho the next branch to avoid the disgrace.

I would ascertain if the allegations are true. Most of these allegations are just insecurities. If they are not true, I would even promote the said staff to managerial position.

I agree with you, it is to first find out if it is true before taking any action

As a business owner, i don't think personal life shouldn't be my concern once is not affecting my work or working relationships. But once an atitude is affecting my business, i have to find way to put a stop to it or get the worker kicked out.

That is right an employee personal life shouldn't concern a boss once is not affecting the work or working relationship. Leave them to their way of life

There might be instances that an employee's personal life might affect the business and needs to be controlled before it ruins the reputation of the business.

It does not matter what other people think, what matters is what I think and what I see

it is by letting your team member know what is and isn't acceptable. Keep communication channels open, and provide ongoing coaching and support.

My first course of action would be to monitor that staff myself as i would not just blindly take what other staffs have to say. If i have confirm this behavior, the next thing i would do would be to caution such staff and see if they can change.

I’d first try to understand the situation from all sides. Talk privately with the staff labeled as pompous and hear them out. Then, have a discussion with the team about respect and collaboration. Sometimes people just misread confidence for arrogance. Clear expectations and open communication usually smooth things over without creating tension.

Consider if there are any underlying insecurities driving the behavior and ensure your perception isn't biased.
