Something for Nothing: Dealing with the Entitlement Mentality

    Changing economic times have caused many organizations to rethink the way they manage, motivate, lead, inspire and hold people accountable for performance at work. But some employees, particularly those with tenure, develop a sense of entitlement and believe that they deserve what they get and more, because it's owed to them. Entitled employees do not feel obligated to perform to their maximum potential, are more difficult to work with, frequently resist change and are less likely to respect their leaders. They may also cause considerable problems for those employees who are doing their jobs effectively each day without complaining.

    This high-level, energetic and content-driven session will address how attitudes positively and negatively affect team performance, morale, customer/client service, quality of work, personal accountability and leadership's ability to get things done.

    Learning objectives:

    • Describe how employees exhibit their feelings of entitlement
    • Specify strategies and tactics to handle the entitlement attitude
    • Summarize how to shift both leaders and employees from blame and excuses to personal accountability
