and require the true talents of a mediator.

00:00:12

In this video we will see when to hold them and how to carry it out.

00:00:18

If as a manager you cannot solve a problem,

00:00:21

it's because the answer is probably within the group.

00:00:25

Conflicts and relationship problems,

00:00:28

harmful atmosphere,

00:00:29

competition,

00:00:31

a change that is difficult for some,

00:00:33

a faulty work organization.

00:00:35

The noncompliance with the company rules and values,

00:00:39

accumulation of delays,

00:00:41

dissatisfied clients,

00:00:43

or partners who complain about the team.

00:00:46

Do not wait to take matters into your own hands and

00:00:50

get help from your superiors or your HR if necessary.

00:00:54

It is your duty as a manager to react

00:00:57

before the molehill becomes a mountain.

00:01:00

Here are 3 steps to carry out the regulatory meetings.

00:01:04

First step,

00:01:05

informal individual consultation.

00:01:08

If the issue is really delicate,

00:01:10

take the time to consult each person individually

00:01:14

to listen to their difficulties,

00:01:16

their frustrations,

00:01:17

their suggestions.

00:01:18

It will be a time of catharsis in your presence alone and if necessary,

00:01:23

the presence of HR,

00:01:25

which will prevent them from targeting each other and aggravating the problem.

00:01:30

Ask people for their opinions.

00:01:32

Understand their interests without creating false

00:01:36

expectations and without getting involved.

00:01:39

Stay neutral in this step of individual listening and purging of the struggle.

00:01:46

Second step,

00:01:47

the discussion meeting,

00:01:49

ideally in the morning around 10 a.m. when minds are still fresh.

00:01:53

Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos

00:01:57

advises to schedule all important meetings between 100 a.m. and noon.

00:02:03

The discussion meeting in the presence of all parties affected

00:02:06

by the difficulties will take place in three stages.

00:02:11

First,

00:02:12

explaining the problem and reiterating the rules,

00:02:15

kindness,

00:02:16

speaking genuinely,

00:02:17

being constructive.

00:02:19

Second,

00:02:20

going around the table where everyone presents their vision,

00:02:24

their concerns,

00:02:25

their priorities,

00:02:26

and possibly resolution options.

00:02:29

This is shared information

00:02:31

that shouldn't allow any arguments or debate nor immediate decision making.

00:02:36

The manager frames and fairly distributes turns at

00:02:40

talking to avoid slipping and personal attacks.

00:02:43

They synthesize the words of each and

00:02:45

emphasize the common points between everyone's statements.

00:02:49

They explain

00:02:50

that the collective problem resolution will try to include these

00:02:54

exchanges in the decision making as much as possible,

00:02:58

but it will certainly almost be impossible to take everything into account.

00:03:03

Third,

00:03:04

at the end of this discussion meeting,

00:03:07

the manager can choose to decide alone as arbitrator

00:03:11

or to conduct a decision meeting so the decision is made by everyone.

00:03:15

It will therefore be more about mediation

00:03:18

than arbitration.

00:03:20

The third step,

00:03:21

the decision meeting.

00:03:23

The decision meeting can be done in 6 stages.

00:03:26

First,

00:03:27

setting the decision rules,

00:03:29

how the chosen option will be settled

00:03:31

by a majority,

00:03:33

by the third.

00:03:35

Second,

00:03:36

the facilitator presents the problem again

00:03:38

and reminds one of the rules.

00:03:41

Kindness,

00:03:42

speaking genuinely,

00:03:43

being constructive.

00:03:44

Third,

00:03:45

the members and the facilitator take turns suggesting three options that

00:03:50

are noted on a flip chart or a mind map.

00:03:53

Fourth,

00:03:54

participants make a preliminary vote to retain some of the options.

00:03:58

5th,

00:03:59

together,

00:04:00

the members discuss the options and improve them.

00:04:04

And 6th,

00:04:05

a final vote confirms the chosen option.

00:04:08

Collective life inevitably requires regulation.

00:04:12

The earlier it is carried out,

00:04:14

the simpler it will be.

00:04:15

In the event of a difficult regulation,

00:04:18

you now have a few steps to manage internal difficulties which may help you

00:04:23

get support from your HR or a coach to prepare

00:04:26

or even lead these kinds of meetings if necessary.

00:04:30

It is always in your interest to present the problem in a

00:04:33

transparent and explicit manner rather than

00:04:37

positioning yourself as the adjudicator,

00:04:39

have maximum confidence in the ability of your teams

00:04:43

to solve problems together like the adults they are.

00:04:46

By improving dialogue,

00:04:48

you will improve the cohesion and maturity.

00:04:50

Of the team to manage tense moments.

00:04:53

Keep in mind

00:04:54

that the participants in the regulatory meetings will better

00:04:58

accept all the decisions that were taken together.

00:05:01

Indeed,

00:05:02

studies prove that the people who were consulted accept decisions more readily,

00:05:08

even if the decisions do not go as they wished.
