Five Lab Management Pitfalls to Avoid

Jan 02, 2025
  1. *Public Criticism*: Avoid reprimanding employees in front of peers; instead, provide constructive feedback in private one-on-one meetings.

 

  1. *Inaction in Conflict*: Never let patients struggle with staff when you're present; intervene promptly, asserting your authority and ensuring resolution.

 

  1. *Unprofessional Gossip*: Don't tolerate public criticism among employees; address concerns privately, promoting a respectful work environment.

 

  1. *Solo Success Claims*: Attribute achievements to team efforts, rather than individual accomplishments, fostering collaboration and morale.

 

  1. *Overlooking Excellence*: Recognize and appreciate employees' positive contributions, no matter how small, to boost motivation and engagement.
