Podcast Episode 262: How to Deal with Coworkers Who Feel Entitled

Nov 19, 2016 | Podcasts

In The Loop with Andy Andrews, hosted by David Loy

In this episode, I answer a listener’s question on working with people on tenure who no longer do a good job.

For the future of our country, we have to convince people there’s no free lunch.

Imagine if everyone had a checkmark beside their name so they couldn’t be fired—regardless of their performance.
Some people feel like they shouldn’t have to prove themselves year in and year out, but that’s what everyone else has to do.
While job security and comfort are nice, pressure is where we do our best.

Focus on becoming friends with these coworkers so you have a chance to have an impact on their life.

There are two things that make people change: what’s in it for them and proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
Figure out what they want out of life by having conversations with them.
Once you know what they want, recommend resources that can help them see proof that getting where they want to be requires change.

Tune in to hear about a crazy conversation Andy had about tenure with someone in the airport.
