Conflict Management: Telling your Peers/Senior Leadership they are “lousy” leaders and not doing their jobs.
We all have probably had good and bad experiences with this and I would like to start a PD post to get some of your best techniques, practices, lessons learned or stories on the best ways to deal with this and conflict management in general. It usually boils down to the type of relationship you have with the individual and how you approach the situation but would like some other input, especially from Senior NCOs.
**Just to clarify I am not currently in this situation**

SGT (Join to see) clearly I am not a senior NCO. However, I learned most of my lessons from NCOs. Observe. Document. Suggest. Ask. Demonstrate. Then, close the door and have an undocumented conversation. The best advice I got remains: “Shut up and color” meaning sometimes there is nothing you can do or say and it is best to remove yourself from a potentially volatile situation.

I would say this is an example of leading up, not conflict management. Conflict management may come to bare, selecting the right Tim, location, and others of a like mind. Then ask for this person to listen as there xxx have all come to this feeling or conclusion. Come out with it and ask for what it is you are seeking them to do.
When a group of subordinates with like minds bring to a leader an issue it is almost always impossible to deny, unless of course the group are a bunch of weak minds not prepared for military service. That will come out too.

I’m fortunate as I’ve said many times, my Sr NCOs were all top notch, if there was ever a problem the problem was probably you. They truly cared about their Marines and would move a mountain to help you if he could.
