Do you have an employee who likes playing managers against one another? Do you someone who tries to get the answer they want to hear by asking people the same question over and over?
To stop people from playing this “Manager Game”, a good sit-down to go over expectations with the employee may not work. Employees of this type should be discussed in a forum by the management team to ensure that everyone is aware of what this person is trying to do.
Once it is out in the open what this employee is doing, developing a consistent game plan ahead of time to deal with questions by this employee may be the best approach.
