Managing Narcissistic Employees Needs Two Solutions.
There seems to be a group of narcissistic employees in every organization. Their confidence in their abilities is full enough. High spirits and high spirits are their consistent behaviors.
They are generally considered to have "peacock personality" and are not very popular in teamwork and interpersonal relationships.
What is even more surprising is that some media pointed out that compared with teams without narcissistic employees, if the proportion is right, the quality of the scheme proposed by the team with such employees is better.
Is that really true? Jack Concaro, Professor of the school of industrial and labor relations at Cornell University, and Professor Frank Flynn of Stanford University Business School conducted a survey on narcissistic employees' abilities and performance.
Before the experiment, they first conducted a test on all the subjects.
Narcissistic index
Test ".
In one of the experiments, gang Carol and team members divided 76 students into two groups. One group would watch a movie and introduce the film to another group of members.
The results showed that those with the highest narcissistic index had a significant difference of 50% compared with those who did not narcissistic respondents.
Strangely, when the research team changed the presentation of the subjects into written expression, there was no significant difference in the willingness of the other groups to see the movie.
It can be seen that the level of ability is not the reason for the difference in judgment, and the difference of the way of expression is the key.
Narcissistic experimenters are obviously more passionate and confident in their expressions. They are better at creating an unthinkable aura, allowing listeners to have more reasons to believe and identify their perceptions of the world and their abilities.
So what kind of impact does this illusion have on business decisions? Gang Carol believes that enterprises are always looking for valuable proposals, and thus win the opportunity in competition. But if narcissistic employees are better at selling themselves, their abilities will always appear to be too high, and the suggestions that lead to their actual level of difference are more adopted, enterprises will lose the chance to get better ideas.
Judging standard
This will also be affected.
Faced with this obstacle, gang Carol believes that the best way is to set a more objective evaluation standard based on written expression.
At the same time, he suggested that business managers, though difficult to resist irrational influences, had better think about whether they were more implicit and less confident in expressing their opinions before criticizing or rejecting certain ideas.
Self abased employees also need to change their expression and thinking inertia to demonstrate the true level of ability with more sufficient bottom.
What role should organizations play in narcissistic employees in order to stimulate their positive effects? They divide 292 experimental subjects into four groups, asking them to provide an organization around a topic.
Solution
。
The experimental results showed that when there were no narcissistic subjects in the four groups, team discussions were conducted in accordance with rules and regulations, lacking creative highlights and topic leaders; but when the four were all narcissistic, the discussions were frequent because of various creativity, but members could hardly convince each other and stagnate.
When the number of narcissistic members accounted for half of the total, the team discussion was the most smooth, the topic leader and the followers were in their respective positions, and the number of effective recommendations was the most.
As Picasso often said in his mouth, "I am God", narcissistic people have successfully occupied the important position of politics, commerce and art by virtue of their self marketing talents.
When meeting narcissistic employees in an organization, business managers may be able to stimulate team creativity with their advantages, and effectively control the negative effects of their high ability. It will be the best way for narcissistic employees to release their intelligence.
