Encountered a team leader who has no expertise in the field and isn’t good at leading others
Thread Content
Our factory is about to carry out a thermal load test, and the team has been established for nearly half a year now. Some time ago, a team leader was assigned to us; he has a long working experience, having worked in safety for over 20 years, but not in the field of chemical safety. Since I have been working in the group company’s headquarters, I have no experience in team building. It’s about to go into production soon, and the teams are still being managed using the methods employed by the regulatory authorities in the past. It can be said that bureaucratic thinking is quite severe; while other teams have started to thoroughly study the operational procedures for their respective positions, this team is still trying to avoid criticism from their supervisors by flattering them, without focusing at all on getting ready to drive. What’s even worse is that all the members of this team are recent graduates with no practical experience at all. I talked to the team leader about these matters several times, and he always said it was my mindset that was the problem. Alas! I really don’t know what to do!
Work shouldn’t take up all your thoughts; half is enough.
Follow the team leader’s instructions; do whatever is assigned to you at work.
When you encounter such a class leader, you can only say you’re unlucky, but you still need to do your job well...
When there’s a problem, the management usually turns to the team leader. The team leader decides what needs to be done, as long as it doesn’t put him at risk. If he doesn’t know what to do, it becomes difficult to get the equipment running. When problems are detected, the management doesn’t go to the lower-level employees; instead, they turn directly to the team leader.
Protect yourself first; the team leader is the primary person responsible for safety. Whenever something happens to the employees under their supervision, it’s the team leader, along with the supervisor and safety officer, who are held accountable first.
Pay one day’s wage for one day’s work； What position, and what responsibilities should be considered? ； What’s the point of worrying about things that are beyond one’s scope of work or capabilities?
I think there’s something wrong with your mindset. Working in a chemical plant, especially as an operator on the front line, means that your job is closely linked to your own safety. To put it simply, in the event of an accident, names of managers are rarely included in the list of those who get hurt or killed, but operators’ names are often there. If you’re not motivated to improve, at least you should take steps to protect yourself.
So what do you do when you encounter such a class leader?
Report him; he knows nothing yet still tries to interfere in others’ affairs. Plastic septic tanks, underground pipeline inspection
