Serious staffing Issues: Published on 16 May 2007

I am feeling very low today. HR had conducted an inspection in one of my projects, and found many staff missing from the office. Today they called up all the staff along with me to give a firm warning.

This particular project is problematic since the beginning. Its very ambitious while the staffing arrangement is minimal. For the last few weeks, we have tried hard to recruit suitable staff for this project, but in vain.

So, the staff became demotivated and started coming late, going early. They are falling sick frequently and not able to produce any thing. Though the project lack senior staff, it raises a serious question on my management skills.

I started thinking that I am too participatory and need to be more directive. Since I am sused to manage senior staff, I started managing the junior staff in a similar fashion. So they felt left out, and doesn't know what to do.
