Case: Colleague Confrontation
Michelle has a colleague, actually her team leader, that has much more educational experience than she has This colleague has even been assistant principle previously for one year but was asked to go back to the classroom for undisclosed reasons. Michelle's colleague is very opinionated and outspoken. This colleague has often spoken down to Michelle in front of other team members and treats her unfairly in front of the students. Michelle just sits back and deals with the behavior. This colleague seems to feel that she knows more and is better at teaching than Michelle because she has more years of experience. Michelle has had enough of being cut down in front of others and tormented in team meetings. How should Michelle handle the situation professionally without causing more issues?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If this were me, the next time my colleague began to put me or my ideas down, I would be sure to hear all that they had to say, just to be polite and give them the opportunity to, again, share their initial thoughts. Then, I would politely thank them and tell them you appreciate the ideas, as you always do, as their experiences enlighten you. Then don't be afraid to tell them something involving the same topic that has worked for you and how the ideas may go together. No idea is a bad idea; if you continue to be polite and let them know you appreciate their ideas, still don't be afraid to say yours. And if they don't want to try it, then you try it and let everyone know how it went. The first few years are the time you figure out what works for you! |
