Successfully Solve Common Leadership Problems
As a leader, you face various challenges daily. Learn proven strategies to solve common leadership problems.
Mitarbeiter stellen deine Anweisungen öffentlich in Frage, gehen direkt zu deinem Vorgesetzten mit Beschwerden oder ignorieren Deadlines mit der Begründung "Das sehe ich anders". Sie diskutieren jede Entscheidung endlos, sprechen abfällig über dich mit Kollegen und verhalten sich, als wären sie auf einer Ebene statt in einer Führungsposition. Du merkst, wie deine Glaubwürdigkeit schwindet und andere Teammitglieder unsicher werden, welche Regeln noch gelten. Die Herausforderung: Autorität zurückgewinnen ohne zum Tyrannen zu werden.
Dein Teammitglied zeigt seit Wochen Dienst nach Vorschrift, bringt keine Eigeninitiative mehr ein und verlässt pünktlich um 17 Uhr das Büro - früher war diese Person dein engagiertester Leistungsträger. In Meetings herrscht betretenes Schweigen, Ideen und Begeisterung sind verschwunden. Die Demotivation färbt langsam auf das gesamte Team ab.
Erfahrene Mitarbeiter drucken alle E-Mails aus, bitten täglich um Hilfe bei Computer-Aufgaben und zeigen sichtbare Panik vor jedem Software-Update. Ihre jahrzehntelange Berufserfahrung ist wertvoll, aber ihre Technologieangst bremst das ganze Team aus. Du stehst vor dem Dilemma, die digitale Transformation voranzutreiben, ohne diese unverzichtbaren Kollegen zu verlieren oder ihre Teammitglieder mit ständigen Hilfsanfragen zu belasten.
Kaum sagst du "Das könnte besser werden", bricht dein Teammitglied in Tränen aus oder wird defensiv. Sachliche Kritik wird als persönlicher Angriff interpretiert, konstruktives Feedback löst emotionale Ausbrüche aus. Du stehst vor der Herausforderung, wichtiges Feedback zu geben, ohne deine Mitarbeiter zu verletzen oder die Arbeitsatmosphäre zu vergiften
Junge Mitarbeiter hinterfragen jeden Prozess ohne Rücksicht auf Hierarchien, verlassen pünktlich um 17 Uhr auch bei wichtigen Deadlines und checken während Meetings ständig ihre Smartphones. Sie erwarten kontinuierliches Feedback, fordern Purpose statt nur Gehalt und sehen Regeln als Diskussionsgrundlage. Du stehst vor der Herausforderung, ihre frischen Ideen zu nutzen, ohne dass etablierte Strukturen und die Zusammenarbeit mit erfahrenen Kollegen darunter leiden.
Ein neuer Mitarbeiter ist hochmotiviert und bringt frische Perspektiven mit, braucht aber für jede Standardaufgabe doppelt so lang wie das erfahrene Team. Er stellt ständig Fragen, zweifelt an seinen Entscheidungen und entschuldigt sich für sein fehlendes Branchenwissen. Du stehst vor der Herausforderung, seine Motivation zu erhalten, während du ihm das nötige Fachwissen vermittelst, ohne ihn zu überfordern oder das Team mit ständigen Erklärungen auszubremsen.
Dein Teammitglied liefert seit Monaten unterdurchschnittliche Ergebnisse, verpasst wiederholt Deadlines und macht dieselben Fehler trotz mehrfacher Gespräche. "Ich gebe mein Bestes" ist die Standardantwort - während das Team die Arbeitslast kompensieren muss und die Gesamtqualität leidet. Du stehst vor der Herausforderung, klare Leistungserwartungen zu kommunizieren ohne zu demotivieren, und zu unterscheiden ob Unwille, Unfähigkeit oder andere Ursachen vorliegen.
Ein beliebter Kollege kommt schon zum fünften Mal diese Woche zu spät, entschuldigt sich charmant mit kreativen Ausreden und versteht nicht die Respektlosigkeit seines Verhaltens. Seine Unpünktlichkeit verschiebt Meetings, belastet das Team und untergräbt deine Autorität als Führungskraft. Du stehst vor der Herausforderung, dieses Verhalten zu stoppen, ohne den geschätzten Mitarbeiter zu vergraulen oder als kleinkariert zu wirken.
Etablierte Teammitglieder reagieren auf jeden Verbesserungsvorschlag mit "Das haben wir schon immer so gemacht" und finden für jede Neuerung sofort drei Gründe, warum es nicht funktionieren wird. Ihre passive Resistenz und skeptischen Kommentare infizieren das ganze Team mit Veränderungsmüdigkeit. Du stehst vor der Herausforderung, notwendige Anpassungen durchzusetzen, während einflussreiche Kollegen jeden Fortschritt blockieren und deine Autorität untergraben.
Deine Leistungsträgerin arbeitet bis 22 Uhr, antwortet am Wochenende auf E-Mails und verpasst kritische Details in wichtigen Meetings. "Ich hab alles im Griff" sagt sie - während die ersten Burnout-Symptome längst sichtbar sind. Du stehst vor der Herausforderung, einzugreifen bevor es zu spät ist, ohne ihre Leistung zu entwerten oder sie zu bevormunden.
