Making less than direct reports
I accepted a promotion knowing one of my four direct reports made More money than me. But now I found out 3/4 more more than me and one only like 2k less. I’m a top performer while One of the people who makes more than me was recently on a performance improvement plan. Recently someone asked for a raise by comparing her salary to another employee and it was not well received and she has been deemed to exhibit poor judgement. I am completely de motivated and sad what do I do?
Team Dynamics
I have observed a team dynamics in the past where subordinates are "pushing back" on their leader. It left me perplexed as to what might be behind this. Leaders want fearless advice, but also expect faithful implementation. When the faithful implementation side is missing, it unbalances team function. Clearly conflict is at play here. Do you have any insight as to what might be a dynamic at the root of this, and what techniques could be used to restore a healthy dynamic?
