Complainers are Drainers - Teri's Tip #38

Complainers sap the energy out of everyone around them. And if the complaint resonates with those around them, the complainer becomes the center of attention.  This refocuses the work of the group and productivity suffers as others start to join in and the complaints keep growing.  The complaint train can spin out of control very quickly.  Customers don't like to hear employees complaining about their boss, co-workers, long hours, etc.  It ruins their experience.

How to stop the complainers:  ask them to come up with a solution to the issue.  Get them involved in the situation surrounding the issue so they have more complete knowledge and then turn them into problem solvers vs. problem announcers.
