## Chapter Outline

## 1. How to Motivate Vulnerable Employees

Here are some suggestions for supervisors who often criticize employees, don't rush to scold them. Try to understand the main reasons why employees do this. At this time, you may also encounter resistance from various types of employees. Here are also some suggestions, suggesting that you listen first, and then try using questions instead of criticism.

## 2. Things You Must Know Before Scolding

Here are many rules to help many managers who are already furious. Don't scold them first, you can try to calm yourself down for a few days, or try to change your perspective. Abandon your own ideas, and here it is also recommended that many managers listen first and then end with praise. Here, it is also recommended that supervisors pay attention to facts, not right or wrong. After all, it is important to guide employees correctly now, but if the attitude makes employees unacceptable, then it will lose its effect.

## 3. How to Teach People with Different Personalities

Here are twelve methods for seven types of employees. Don't rush to conclusions, give employees more time to think, give credit to subordinates, and many colloquial words are more beautified to make people accept.

## 4. Good Supervisors Know How to Wait

This mainly suggests waiting before scolding, letting the anger pass first. There are many ways to test yourself to see if you have biases, or if you have certain traits that you cannot tolerate.

## Thoughts:

This book is also from quite a while ago, but it clearly mentions the management methods for Generation Z (20+). I was quite surprised, perhaps the Japanese, who have a lot of work pressure, often have related experiences. This book has many good suggestions, and it is actually quite recommended for more emotional managers to read.
