In the world of birds, ruffled feathers is one sign of a virus. Isn't that also the case at work? Ruffled feathers can spread like a virus throughout your office, department or corporation. Depending on the influence of the 'ruffled one', that spread can be fatal.
Infected birds shed the virus by exhaling and excreting. Isn't this what happens in the workplace? Gossip and anger can quickly change the workplace environment from healthy to malicious. And, it's very contagious.
When words are involved, a high level of refinement of the virus is possible. Stories change subtly. Emphasis is given to different aspects by different people. Additions are appended. Motives are questioned. Assumptions are made. Often, the initial act becomes entirely unrecognizable in a very short time.
What to do? Be H.I.P.!
Here are three tips for smoothing ruffled feathers as soon as you notice them. If you are the 'ruffler', implement these immediately. If you are the 'ruffled', these work for you as well.
Be Honest
OK, you may be thinking, 'It was honesty that got me into this position in the first place!" True, you may have blurted out some unvarnished truth in a moment of frustration. That's often the fastest way to ruffle a few feathers.
Now that you have calmed down some, it is time for a different kind of honesty. First, be honest with yourself. What was your intention when you opened your mouth? Did you intend to inflict pain? Did you intend to create tension and dissention? Did you really just want to smack the other person and you did it with your words? Or, were you just a little clumsy in trying to rectify a frustrating situation?
Now, if you are completely honest, it is likely that you so wanted rid of your frustration that you were lacking a little finesse. Right? If that is the case, you can now go to the person you ruffled and truthfully say that hurt was not your intent. Be honest about your outburst and identify it as a less than effective way of releasing your pain. Ask if you can discuss the issue and work out a solution that is acceptable to you both.
Oh, so, you really did want them to feel small, dumb and inferior? You're on your own...likely looking for a new position. Of course, if you're the boss and you did this, you're also on your own...looking for new employees!
