How Strong Leaders Cope With ‘Cocky’ Young Employees
It’s a tricky spot to be in as a leader — you have a young employee who is technically strong, showing tremendous skill and promise and, because of that, you’re eager to champion that employee’s growth and success.
There’s just one thing holding you back — that young pup employee is a bit of an entitled jerk.
Tactless when interacting with others around them, feeling entitled to skip ahead without putting in the hard work, and arrogantly confident they always know the right answer (to the degree they come across downright insubordinate). Their antics feel directly disrespectful to your authority, undermine the camaraderie of the team, and just make the workplace dynamic unnecessarily tense and frustrating.
