What to Do When My Junior Staff Tells Me “No”
SPEAKER
(NUS/SGH)
Synopsis
Have you ever faced a situation where your junior staff told you “no”? This can feel daunting and stressful, especially in the early part of your career as a young manager or team lead.
A 2020 national survey among Singapore’s patient-care pharmacists and technicians found that the perception of lack of control and autonomy at work was a significant factor for burnout, being almost two times more common in the burnout group than in the non-burnout group. A positive working relationship with the team is an important factor to build resilience against burnout. At the 33rd Singapore Pharmacy Congress (SPC) last year, we talked about ‘How to Say “No” to Your Boss and Get Away with It’. This year, you will:
- Have the opportunity to share your dilemmas in handling difficult conversations
- Acquire practical tips on managing such situations
- Learn how to foster the psychological safety that empowers your staff to say no you, to their boss, and still achieve effective collaboration.
Learning will be reinforced through role-playing in small teams.
- Recap of ‘How to Say “No” to Your Boss and Get Away with It’
- Discussion on why it is difficult to say “no” and why being able to say “no” is important • Common challenges in managing situations arising from saying “no”
- Common scenarios and role playing
