Welcome to the Leadership Connection for child care professionals!
We're delighted to present you with top-notch information to help you create a
dynamic, positive and productive environment for working and learning.
Every month we feature a new topic to help you excel in your leadership role.
The topic featured on this page is workplace resentment and rebuilding trust. We surveyed child
care leaders to find out what their most pressing questions are when it comes to
resentments at work and rebuilding trust.
One of our survey questions was: What situations in your workplace have caused resentments to build?
Here are a few of the situations. Can you relate to any of them?
1. Many staff are feeling a great deal of resentment due to the person
in charge leaning onto and using one person's perspective and outlook
(who is not an administrator) on all in-house concerns/problems and the
person in charge is not utilizing their administrative staff to give them
insight and direction. People are building a great deal of resentment towards
this individual and it is hard for them to understand why this is happening.
2. There are two administrators, some teachers have said they do not like
to have to speak to both of us at the same time - it seems like two against one.
Admin have been advised by attorneys to always have a witness when staff talk.
How can this resentment be averted?
3. One staff member taking it upon themselves to order the others around
-one staff member refusing to take direction unless it comes directly from
the director.
