Every manager has their own approach to القيادة ووفق هذا الأسلوب يقرر الآلية التي يعامل بها الموظفين. الغالبية تظن بأن Treating everyone
متساوٍ هي المقاربة الأفضل لانها تعني المعاملة العادلة. ولكن هناك فرق كبير بين المعاملة العادلة وبين Treating everyone equally. إن كنت من
Managers who think about this are probably the kind of people who care about their teams and genuinely want to lead in a way that suits the people who report to them.
طبيعة الذين يعملون تحت إمرته.. وعليه العدل ضروري وهام بالنسبة اليك.
لذلك إن كان سؤالك هو ما إن كان عليك Treating everyone equally فإن الإجابة هي كلا.. عليك عدم إعتماد المساواة في المعاملة بين الموظفين.

Fairness doesn’t mean treating everyone the same.
The principle of fair treatment is often confused withTreating everyone equallyIn fact, when you treat everyone equally, you’re not being fair at all.
The fastest way to create a toxic workplace and drive employee morale to rock bottom is for a manager to treat
الجميع بالطريقة نفسها.
Adopting this approach will eventually leave many of the people who work for you—especially highly skilled employees—frustrated and discouraged, until they
stop making an effort and eventually leave. When you treat everyone the same, you allow underperforming employees to drag you and
الفريق وفي نهاية المطاف المؤسسة إلى القاع.
If you want to treat people fairly, you need to assess each employee individually and determine the most appropriate “fair” treatment for each person. Many experts
have taken to calling those who choose to treat everyone the same “lazy manager syndrome,” because they are unwilling to make the effort to distinguish
بين موظف وآخر.
.
Why treat everyone the same?
No two people in the world are alike, so what about a workplace where everyone has their own needs, different performance levels, and personalities
مختلفة ومقاربات مختلفة لاداء العمل وطبعاً محفزات وأهداف مختلفة.
عندما تقرر Treating everyone equally فأنت عملياً تجعل صاحب الأداء الضعيف والسيئ في المكانة نفسها مع أصحاب الأداء القوي والمميز.
You’re telling your best employees, “To me, there’s no difference between you and that idle employee, the one who keeps making mistakes, or the one with”
الأداء التعيس.
.
Treating everyone equally This is the main reason so many skilled people leave a company: when they find themselves in a place
full of contradictions, they stop trying because they don’t receive the recognition they deserve and are constantly placed in the same category as
الأداء الضعيف.
.
“Fair” treatment differs from one employee to another
As we mentioned earlier, the manager who decides totreat everyone equally يسعى خلف معاملة عادلة للجميع. ولكن العدل متغير هنا وهو يستند على أداء كل
موظف. الطريقة الفعالة والعادلة للموظفين هي من خلال فهم شخصية الموظفين، وقدراتهم وعوامل أخرى تميز كل موظف عن الآخر.
في حال كنت من الفئة التي تعتمد المساواة في المعاملة إليك بعض الأمور التي عليك إعادة التفكير بها قبل معاملة الجميع بالطريقة نفسها.
.
Feedback or praise
Some employees perform at their best whether or not you give them Praise or not. Some employees need Motivation المستمر من أجل
تقديم أفضل ما لديهم. في المقابل هناك الموظف الذي يجد متعة وسعادة في مدحه بشكل علني، مقابل موظف يكره هذه المقاربة لأنها تحرجه.
Imagine treating them all the same and deciding not to praise anyone publicly. In doing so, you would be withholding motivation from those who need this kind of
المحفزات. أو في حال قررت النقيض كلياً، التأثير هو نفسه، تحفيز فئة وإحباط فئة أخرى.
Imagine sending everyone a thank-you message for their efforts after completing a project, even though you know the project succeeded thanks to the work of several employees, while
others contributed nothing to its success—and some even hindered it. That thank-you message is “demoralizing” to those who did the work and encourages
الذين لم يبذلوا الحد الأدنى من الجهود على الخمول.
.
Guidance and instructions
Some employees need detailed instructions, while others only need general guidance. Those who need detailed instructions either lack the skills
or the motivation to figure out for themselves what they need to do. Imagine treating everyone the same way: you would either fail to give an employee the information they need to do their job or waste the time of someone who doesn’t need all that guidance.
إما لا تمنح الموظف ما يحتاج إليه من معلومات للقيام بعمله أو تضييع وقت الذي لا يحتاج لكل هذه التوجيهات.
.
Discipline
Some employees don’t need criticism or reprimands to behave appropriately, while others can become a destructive force without oversight. On the other hand, some
people accept criticism and respond well to rules, while others are very sensitive and don’t respond well to being told what to do. Treating
الجميع بالمثل يعني فوضى شاملة وكاملة.
