In the Russian language there are many proverbs and sayings about people who enjoy authority. For example: "You can rely on him like on a stone mountain!" But in life, anything happens. Even the most sensible person can either make a serious mistake or act in a bad way. Naturally, his reputation will suffer, and a strong blow will be dealt to his authority. Suppose we are talking about a team leader. How can he restore his shaken authority?
Instructions
Step 1
Remember that it is pointless to act in an orderly manner. And not to issue, in fact, an order of the type: "I order to consider this and that an absurd accident and still trust me!" In this case, one memory will definitely remain of the authority of the leader, and subordinates will quietly hate their employer.
Step 2
In some cases, when a close, trusting relationship has developed in the team, it is possible to frankly explain to the subordinates why a wrong decision was made or a not-too-worthy act was committed. Do it better not immediately, but after a while, so that people have time to “cool down” and your behavior does not look like an attempt to hastily justify itself “in hot pursuit”. It may well be that people, having learned the real state of affairs, will stop condemning you as a boss. Remember, everyone has the right to be wrong.
Step 3
If you consider such a revelation unacceptable, then you have the only way out - to prove by deed that it was just an accidental "misfire" that can happen to anyone. You must go into work with renewed vigor, show the best qualities, such as competence, foresight, reasonable exactingness, fairness. And if necessary - decisiveness and even toughness.
Step 4
Do not be angry and callous, because these are not the best companions in life. Yes, undoubtedly, somewhere you need to show severity, but it should be within reasonable limits.
Step 5
Listen to the opinion of your subordinates, respect them, provide help if possible, but at the same time, do not stoop to ingratiating themselves, familiarity. This behavior of the leader will surely make a good impression on the team. And after some time, the subordinates will forget about that mistake or not the most worthy act of their boss.
