Beware of the Hecklers

Of the 3 type of employee in your business (engaged, on the fence and actively disengaged or hecklers) the heckler is the most dangerous. Actively disengaged in the business, you’ll know who they are and will recognise those people in your own organisation. They’re the ones who will constantly complain or seek to put down new initiatives. Hecklers will try to bring down the ‘main act’ – your organistion. Bear in mind this is never for the good of the organisation but for their own personal gain. 

While the hecklers appear negative, this will often come from their need to feel significance. How to combat this? Show them how to be significant in a positive way and this can help to reduce their negativity. 

Tipping point where hecklers have less of a voice.
