Dominant employees naturally assume leadership roles in group situations, make quick decisions, and efficiently structure workflows. They possess inherent leadership qualities and constructively challenge existing processes; however, they may overlook other team members or allocate insufficient time for discussion and consensus-building.

Leadership Strategies

Dos & Don'ts for Different Leadership Situations

Select a leadership situation to see the appropriate strategies and warnings for different employees.

Hier sind einige Empfehlungen und Fehler, die Sie bei Motivationsgesprächen mit dominanten Mitarbeitern beachten sollten.

Recommended Strategies

Proven approaches for Motivationsgespräche führen

Schnelle Zielvereinbarung

Vereinbaren Sie ein überprüfbares Wochenziel innerhalb der ersten 20 Minuten.

Klare, messbare Ziele steigern die Entscheidungsfreude und Motivation.

Delegationsauftrag erteilen

Übertragen Sie die Entscheidung über Projektpunkt X bis Freitag 17:00 Uhr.

Formelle Delegation erhöht das Verantwortungsgefühl und reduziert Nachkontrollen.

Zeitbegrenzte Entscheidungsboxen nutzen

Kündigen Sie eine 5-Minuten-Entscheidungsbox für impulsive Themen an.

Kurze Entscheidungsfenster helfen, Impulsivität zu zähmen und die Kontrolle zu wahren.

Pitfalls to Avoid

Common pitfalls in Motivationsgespräche führen

Unstrukturierte Exploration vermeiden

Fragen Sie nicht einfach: 'Erzähl mir, was dich motiviert'.

Offene Fragen ohne Rahmen führen zu Dominanzverhalten und unklaren Ergebnissen.

Langwierige Teamdebatten im Einzelgespräch vermeiden

Starten Sie nicht mit einer 45-minütigen offenen Teamdebatte.

Lange Debatten fördern das Führungsverhalten und untergraben die Zielorientierung.

Einfluss und Sichtbarkeit nicht begrenzen

Halten Sie den Mitarbeiter nicht aus wichtigen Meetings heraus.

Das Frustration und Motivationsverlust verursacht, da Status und Wachstum wichtig sind.
