Hi all,
I wish to get suggestions from you regarding people management. I am an Associate Manager in one of the projects in our company. I supervise 2 groups of people supporting 2 applications. I've been the lead of this 2 teams since I became a team lead.
My problem started when I was promoted AM and one of the people i supervised was promoted to TL. Now, I am already running out of patience with this TL to the point where i now look like a tyrant to my team than a lead. I'm already at the end of my rope and i've run out of idea on how i should handle her.
This person is a team lead and currently supervising 2 people working for production support. TL was recently promoted to her level last year and ever since she was promoted, i can't rely to her to complete all her tasks on time. I always have to follow up her and her team's tasks to ensure her team delivers as agreed with our onshore counterpart. Most of the time they are delayed and most of the time i have to save her ass.
She has already received a 1st warning on her performance and for a time she improved but later she went back to her old ways. She's always late resulting to her always hurrying up to complete her tasks to meet deadline. She also goes on sick leave on the slightest sign of body weakness.
In fairness to her, she is the type of person who has a very good PR. She's always jolly and friendly to everyone she meets. She's also close to the managers. Sometimes i can't help but think that she's an ass kisser.. sorry for the word but i'm really beginning to hate her for making my work difficult.
what i think is she's not suited to production support type of work. a type of work that requires quick turnaround and requires multitasking. she can complete her deliverable on time if the planned activity for the day is done without interuption. but once there are tasks that needs to take higher priority, her world will start to crumble.
She was already given the chance to take a development type of work but she refused saying that she wants to prove to me that she can take on the challenge of the production support. unfortunately, it seems she can't because she's back to old ways.
i am now contemplating on requesting to be transferred to another project but i have second thoughts because the area where i am now has the best opportunity for career progression. i am at the right role at the right time and i don't want her to be the hindrance for achieving something that i know i can.
i hope i am posting this on the right forum. my husband encouraged me to join to forum to have some outlet and get inputs because i'm grumpy most of the time when i arrive from work.
