Though the short-term benefits of verbal abuse and intimidation may feel empowering, in the long term you should look for more effective means of maintaining control. Praising a job well done or offering guidance when needed will help foster better relationships and increase trust between yourself and your employees. Offering recognition for a job done well is often much more effective at instilling obedience than verbal abuse. In addition to this, setting achievable goals which will boost productivity while allowing flexibility can offer an environment conducive to success without relying on controlling tactics.

When addressing employees during meetings, it is important to do so with a respectful attitude and stay courteous and professional. The most effective method of staying in control and ensuring employee compliance is through constructive feedback - provide the employee clear guidelines on what you expect from them, explain what actions are unacceptable and why, encourage open dialogue throughout the discussion, all while remaining open to feedback yourself.
