How to establish a culture of Fear!



As a leader, perhaps you choose to establish fear in the team members’ minds!!

How can you create fear in the ecosystem?

You are a leader and you have seen such a leader in your career so you want to be like them!

The below rule will work …..
  • Ensure people should not speak of their minds. If someone is expressing their mind, call them in a room and caution them not to express whatever they think, check with you, before they express anything in public.
  • If anyone makes any mistake or disobey the team law, punish them in public.
  • Check what time people are coming to office, how many time they go out for the break, check their activities, ask them to send you the daily report about the work, ensure they log 9 hrs at the office and ask for clarification for any deviation
  • Ensure people do not perform as a team, create silos about work and assure people do not help each other. Everyone needs to contribute.
  • Watch employee like a hawk.
  • Examine the daily report and punish team members if they miss the daily goal
  • If anything goes wrong, look for the individual answerable for the mistake and ensure it does not repeat, they are employed to perform the duty 
  • Have a one to one with all the team members and ensure they adhere to your authority. Identify only the things for improvement items, do not allow them to sit on top of your head, bring them down by identifying fault from their activity.
  • Give them spiritual and best practice lectures but ensure it does not adhere to at work
  • Ensure people do not waste time in celebration and other nonproductive activities
  • If there is a conflict among team members, you allow them to fix the conflict on their own. 
  • Look for the key person from the team who can work for you as an informer, he/she should be your Yes sir person. Provide him/her opportunities 
  • Minimize face-to-face communication and use mails, challenge individuals to send you mail if any issue.
  • You accomplish works because “that’s the way it’s consistently been done.”
  • When an employee comes to protest about something, notify them that you will look into it later, ask them to go and concentrate on work
  • Ensure you pretend that you are absolutely busy and not freely accessible to individuals
  • Ensure there is a competition among team members
  • Tightly control the budget, do not spend on people unnecessarily, they are all cost to the company
  • Focus more on the process, then people 
  • Usages discouraging, demotivating statement
  • Reveal your anger when circumstance demand.
