Karma might be catching up with me for being judgmental, but honestly, I work with some real challenges. I just had to clarify to one of my team members that she needs to ensure she’s depositing checks using the same account that the A/R person used to process the deposit in our Accounting system. She seemed confused and responded with, “Well, I don’t know what _____ is doing.” I told her, “You need to COMMUNICATE with her.” It’s clear she lacks the ability to look this up and doesn’t have the initiative to figure it out. I’m seriously losing my patience. I have one fantastic team member, but the other two, who were here before my arrival, are really struggling. I’ve never encountered such a level of incompetence in my reports before.

It sounds like you’re in a frustrating situation, and it’s understandable to feel overwhelmed when team dynamics and skills aren’t where they should be. It might help to approach this challenge with a mindset of coaching and development. Have you considered setting up some regular check-ins or training sessions for your team? Sometimes, a little guidance can go a long way in building confidence and improving skills. It could also help foster better communication within the team and might ease some of your stress in the long run. You’re not alone in this—many leaders deal with similar issues, and it takes patience and creativity to turn things around!
