Hello Everyone,
I am working in consultancy where I am handling a team of 10 team members under me. Everyone else is fine; however, there is one member in my team who, when asked for anything (related to his work or otherwise), starts arguing and giving answers back in front of everyone. Now, I am concerned as this behavior may create a negative influence on others. If not today, perhaps later other team members will learn the same from him. I have given him numerous chances; despite my warnings, he has maintained his behavior. He is average in his work.
Can I terminate him based on this behavior? What should be done? Please suggest.

Hello Everyone,
I am afraid this may create a bad influence on others. If not today, maybe later other team members will learn the same from him. I have given him numerous chances. Despite my warnings, he has maintained his behavior as it is.
As per your issue with this individual, you need to address the situation directly. Keep a close eye on his behavior, especially when he is with the rest of your team members. Observe how he talks and behaves with them, and gather feedback from them. Lastly, you need to be more assertive. Make him understand that next time he will not be warned for the mess he creates and will be asked to leave.
Hope this helps you.
Cheers,

Bad behavior is reciprocal, not a one-sided approach. Otherwise, it is abnormal behavior. If it's not abnormal, then you have to sit with him, ask what the problem is, and bring it to the notice of the boss that you cannot work with him this way. Your approach should be straightforward; no left, right, or lackadaisical approach will help you. Your intention is not to harm him but to bring to the notice of everyone that nothing can be tolerated which is outside the decorum of office norms.

Hi, As per your issue with this chap, you need to get him on the ground first. He's flying high... you need to keep a check on his behavior, especially when he's with the rest of your team members. See how he talks and behaves with them, and get feedback from them. Lastly, you need to be more assertive. Make him understand that next time he will not be warned for the mess he creates and would be kicked out. Hope it helps you.

Hi,
If the guy is performing below average, then terminate him on the grounds of non-performance. However, termination needs to be initiated through the company's HR department.
For any further queries, please contact me on Skype (Skype ID: Shashidhar_s).

Hi,
Do not terminate him. That should be the last option. Have a one-on-one session with him in a closed room, question him on his behavior and what his problem is, resolve all conflicts if any. Then make the right decision.

You should know why he he is doing so? Are you competent enough or you have some minus points within you? If he is behaving with rest of the team well then you need to analyse yourself to

Please change the topic of the discussion.
What is it that you have understood about the meaning of misbehaving?
Why are you not engaging in self-realization?
Everyone listens to your words, so they are considered good. If someone argues with you, does that make them bad?
I do not understand the concept.
Furthermore, this guy may be correct, which you may not be willing to accept. This could also be a reason for your confrontation with him.
Engage in some self-realization.
The mistake may lie with you.
Do you know what people say about you when you are not around?

This is quite a natural reaction. Don't take any criticism here personally. People who gave some bitter answers are not pointing at you but at your way of thinking (I think it's temporary due to this problem). Maybe you are afraid of this chap and you branded him for yourself as a rebel/troublemaker or a rotten apple who can injure your perceived team of humble folks.
Heroes within groups rise because of such an attitude of the leaders; treating the out of the ordinary as threats. Please shelve your idea of terminating the guy and instead keep this problem completely out of your mind for the time being. Later, you may start thinking along the lines of turning him into an ally. Don't take things like these personally; don't waste your precious time and peace of mind on such silly matters. If you think that somebody should be punished, appraisals will take care of that. Why you?
Please treat him completely from the window of "I'm okay and he is okay." Believe that you can handle this guy. DEFINITELY!!! ALL THE BEST!

Hi,
Need to address this from multiple angles....
1. How is his performance? A bad attitude (if present) would somewhere reflect in the work sphere too. If you can evaluate that and ensure that you provide him solutions, it would help you establish your leadership role. Check on this.
2. Is he behaving like this only with you or others too? If it's generic, you could analyze the situations where his response is like this and then get some clues.
3. If he behaves like this only with you, you may be his problem. Check him and yourself and areas of conflict. You would get insights there.
If you approach this issue with an "I am RIGHT, you are WRONG" position, you will never get to know the real reasons behind this behavior. You need to listen and LISTEN carefully.
Best of Luck. The fact that you are seeking help from others shows that you are concerned about this and need to find the right solution. It's just that you have to be a little patient and need to modify your point of view.
