Management attention: narcissistic staff should how to management

Every organization seems to have a class internal narcissistic staff, their ability to their own faith enough to befriending, talk, stuck-up is their actions way. They are generally considered to have "peacock type personality", in the team cooperation and personal relationships not very popular.

Even more remarkably, the us magazine, science writing on points out, narcissistic employees are usually more appreciated by the boss, their ideas for evaluation of higher, personal ability usually more be recognized. The authors pointed out that, with no narcissistic staff team compared, as long as the proper proportion, with this kind of staff team the proposed scheme quality is better. Is this really the case?

Industrial and labor relations at Cornell university, professor jack just carol and Stanford business school professor frank Flynn conducted a narcissistic employees about the ability and the performance of the investigation.

In the experiment, before they get in all subjects on a "narcissistic index test". In one of the experiments, just carol and team members will be 76 students into two groups, one group will watch a movie, and to another group to verbal description method to introduce the film, the group members is for its description decided to see this movie will have much stronger.

The experimental results show that: the narcissistic index of the highest investigation object, than the most not narcissistic investigation object to another group of left deep impression degree the difference between as high as 50%.

Strangely, when the team will be introduced to the subject form writing, another set of experiments to watch this movie will object showed no obvious difference. This shows, the level of the ability of cause and not judge the reasons for the differences, the different ways of expression is the key. Narcissistic subjects to express your meaning clearly more rich passion and confidence, they better at making a central mysteries flow of qi, let the listener is more reason to believe and identify with them to the world and self ability cognition.

So, this shifts to the enterprise decision how has influence? Just carol thinks, the enterprise is always looking for valuable advice, thus winning advantage in the competition, but if because narcissistic employees more good at selling yourself, ability always present virtual high, resulting in their actual level without very difference proposal was more adopted, enterprise will lose the opportunity to get a better idea of their internal from the top down for good ideas criteria will thus be affected.

In the face of such obstacles, just carol think the best way to set is based on written expression more objective criteria. And he suggested that enterprise managers, although it is difficult to resist the influence of irrational, but in criticism or refuse to some creative before, they'd better think about whether because of the Suggestions in expressing more implicative, lack confidence. Employees also need to convert inferiority type express and thinking inertia, with more sufficient should show the true level ability.

So, the organization should be narcissistic employees will put on what is the role of, can stimulate the positive effectiveness? Were they really like science magazine said, more than any other personality type of employees more motivation to organize the internal creative produce? Just carol team did another experiment. They will be 292 subjects who every four people as a group, and asked them around a topic organization provides solutions. The experimental results found that, when four people of no narcissistic experiment object, group discussion according to rules and lack of creative window and topics leader; But when four people for the narcissistic, discussion and because all sorts of creative pledges to serve but convincing between members of each other the other and stagnant. When narcissistic members account for half the number, the discussion of the team most smoothly, and the subject leader and follower, each to its place, the largest number of effective Suggestions.

As Picasso's most often say that "I is god", the narcissistic person today already with self marketing talent, captured ZhengShang, art and so on all the important position. When in the organization is met narcissistic employees, enterprise managers might as well with the advantages stimulate the creativity of team, at the same time, the effective control of its ability one high negative effect will be clever express locates in important things, will be narcissistic employee value of release of the best way.
