I got newly added with people management responsibilities and there are two members assigned to me

One is a senior person.. who needs frequent rest like 2-3 hours total in intervals per day because of health issues

Another person just bluffs everything at the end of the day

Management says "you need to manage all kind of people and you need to bring the ownership among those in the team"

Any suggestions from you all to inculcate the ownership among those people. Thanks in advance

It would be good to set expectations with your employees - establish with them the key outcomes and timelines for the various projects they are working on. As a new manager, you can establish regular checkpoints to determine progress. For the senior employee, be careful to avoid judgement based on their age/health requirements. Be clear and fair on the expected deliverables and accordingly adjust compensation based on that - if they can get the job done in 10 hrs or 2 hrs, that shouldn’t matter as long as they get the job done.

Typically any manager has to manage up, so you can bring the employees in to contribute to your overall presentation thereby giving them a sense of accountability and giving them the control of showcasing their prowess.

At the same time, understand from HR and your management the best path forward if the behavior doesn’t change. Many organizations deploy ‘performance improvement plans’ to ensure employees can prove they can meet the basic requirements of a role within a defined timeframe. It is a business after all and you have to do right by the company’s code.

I feel for you and wish you the best. This is going to be a great learning experience and right in the throes of what people management is all about.

Find another job. Honestly for your sanity. I bet many a folks before you tried to manage those two and these two won out every time. Alternatively stay in your current job but don’t take it to heart that these guys are not that manageable.

Does anyone feel burned out from healthcare from this past year? I straddle tech trans and do procurement/manage the research department of a health system. Is it just me or do health systems compensate less? If I'm going to have to work long hours - I might as well get paid more going the private sector/tech company route.

How do you evaluate the financial health/viability of a startup you’re interviewing with? Are there specific questions you ask and/or external research you do?

I know any company will put its best foot forward during interviews, so I’m trying to figure out to accurately evaluate those statements.
