on in a way that helps build trust and mutual respect between us?

http://www.LCFORCC.com What do you think of the following situations? Are they examples of insubordination? If you're not sure - don't miss our next issue of the Leadership Connection for child care professionals. We'll explore each of these situations and look at how insubordination should be handled from a legal perspective.
************************************************************************
Situation 1:
Is it insubordination when an employee rolls their eyes, severely
at supervisor and when asked is something bothering her, reply is "nothing"
all the time huffing and puffing and sulking in response to being asked to
change her plans? She does comply but its with much attitude. Situation 2:
Staff try to do something their own way even when you've made a suggestion
for a different way, and they refuse right in front of you and when you might be working in the classroom with them. Situation 3:
Is repeatedly being late and insisting that there are valid excuses
like car, family situation called insubordination? What about not being able to come on time requested if there are changing shifts? Read all situations: Click Here to read all responses. *************************************************************************
