Setting of the workshop:
The competent employee who is good at this job, but is also doubtful or unwilling.
Situations:
- “I am not sure if I can do this.”
- “What should I do first; what’s the first step in this project?”
- “I don’t want to do this anymore, I am fed up doing this!”
In these cases some managers will dismiss the employee’s doubts: “Sure, you can do it.” Or they start managing the employee on the content. Usually, this doesn’t work, because it will only make your staff less competent.
