How to Punish Subordinates: Why, What For, and How

In today's management landscape, the techniques of disciplining subordinates have become a largely taboo subject, standing in stark contrast to the abundance of theories and methodologies surrounding employee encouragement and reward. Management gurus often offer platitudes about the negative role of punishment in management practices, or they shy away from the topic altogether, fearing accusations of being inhumane or politically incorrect. Meanwhile, managers continue to struggle, banging their heads against the wall in futile attempts to improve employee discipline. This is because both groups underestimate the role of punishment as a management tool and lack the skills to apply it effectively.
