EPT- Praise in Public
- Punish in Private (punish can be: coach, develop, dispute...etc.)
This applies to both managing individuals (as a supervisor) and business relationships -- and for good reason.

This is a heated issue, but please keep the debate civil. Personal insult is not 'discussion' and will be moderated. -Page 17 | ||

Maybe, but unfortunately her actions are still bound to Axiom and whatever she does will always in one way or the other reflect this team since she was the one, who "created" this clan. It's like this: If Bill Gates suddenly decides to be a racist you can expect the MS sales to drop. Simple logic | ||

In my experience in life, nothing that is done in private and can't be made public is anything honorable, honest, or ethical. If it was any of those things, then people wouldn't mind if it was made it public. People would be proud of it. I remember vividly sitting in a private meeting and my boss was trying to come up with a story to tell a customer. He was trying to lie, and after someone came up with something he stated "Well, now that's a good story!" as to why we couldn't fulfill a contract. Generally, private meetings result in someone get screwed over (usually people that aren't that meeting), a customer, a coworker, a supplier, ect... | ||

I think that is a commentary on your life then, not on things done in private. Privacy, or more to the point, confidentiality, is a crucial aspect of trust, which in turn can be a crucial component of healthy business dealings. | ||

No theories here please. My wife and I have worked in many different industries (business, healthcare, technology, human services, charitable organizations), and private meetings are always the same (though in healthcare patient confidentiality and privacy are exceptions). Generally someone is getting screwed, and that is why it is private. | ||

ATC finals start tomorrow, so any statement should be given to community. And Genna let us know what happened. Best way she could (without Dennis' help). John would do the same, also without hiding any details. Did we get any words from Take? Check ATC website. I've got a quest for you: try to find ANY info about finals as offline event or anything about Axiom not coming... Someone said that Genna's statement was "not professional". Maybe if she were just a team manager... But she was more like a mother/auntie for this guys! There are so many good and bad feelings involved... Axiom story was all bout family and that's why it is so unique! GJ Genna! Thanks for everything! and GL John!  ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "I sort of assumed it would all be online only until it was revealed later the would be an offline finals."

Also, she suffers from depression, has been stressed out for a full year, runs TBs normal business and is a mother. I think her reasons for stepping away are reasonable and she is leaving the team in fine shape. Sorry but if all that is true, why in the world she started a team in the first place? And really, leaving the team in a fine shape? She just gave a major hit to the team by revealing those private conversations. A hit which might as well be unrecoverable considering that TB said they are already in red. Who would sponsor a team that would hang out the dirty laundry like that? | ||

Who would sponsors a team that would hang out the dirty laundry like that? Who knows, but I think TB can handle that problem and they have a manager set up already for the team. TB is very successful on Youtube and likely can sell the teams to sponsors, even with this minor bit of drama. In a couple weeks, no one will really remember a lot of this stuff. | ||

You don't publicly chastise said person in public in front of fellow employees and/or customers. You pull him or her off to the side to deal with it. Addressing it in public does very little good for your employees (demoralizes them) or your customers (makes you look unprofessional). | ||

It is inevitable that situations like these will arise, and I'm happy it hasn't happened more often. A lot of these people started as, for example, youtube personalities. That does not give them special skills at management. What most of you are also forgetting, unlike a CEO of some company, these people get confronted with bucketloads of SHIT on a daily basis, given to them by this community. Granted, it's the bad apples, but it's those that you remember most. It is inevitable that, under pressure, someone will make a mistake or lash out. Would you not lash out towards people that are sending threats to your wife? Insulting your wife? You have to always keep in mind that Genna and totalbiscuit ARE MARRIED and no matter how much you turn it around, that will ALWAYS influence what happens. Everyone here is human and if TB would not take up arms for his wife, Genna, he would be a giant tard. In short, just keep in mind, not eeveryone holds a masters degree in management/marketing/whatever | ||

Well I didn't mean disciplinary meetings, I should have clarified that. However, you shouldn't chastise anyone in private either (in that case someone is getting screwed), either you fire someone (which quickly becomes public) or your explaining to them how to fix what they've done wrong. I pride myself on my management, and you can help people learn better public in such a way that doesn't make them feel bad. Furthermore, that isn't a real life example, why I don't give you some real life examples of disciplinary meetings where people got screwed, I was a union steward for years... anyway, the interaction here was not a disciplinary meeting. | ||

He did make an implied “threat” of legal action after the release of the discussions about travel expenses. I have gone pretty nuts when people have done similar things to my girlfriend at her last job(which she left). The moral of the story is, don’t make passive threats to sue peoples wives or husbands | ||
