How do you handle a lazy teammate

[Bisolami]

This is a good point but there are some people who still won't feel embarrased and it may be very annoying.

Every member in a team has his/her assigned work to do. I will ask the "lazy" person how s(he) is progressing regarding his/her work. I think this will embarrass him/her if s(he) has achieved nothing. If there is no improvement in his/her attitude, I'll report the problem to the team leader.

If I complete my tasks and every other team member does the same and this lazy person can't complete his. We would covered him up by assisting him the first time and encouraging him to brace up. If no improvement, I would report to the authorities.

I think this is a very good approach. You need to always remind them of the work they need to carry out. If they're still lazy, reporting them is to best.

The best way to handle a lazy teammate is by reporting to the authority so that he won't be dragging you behind

I would do the same thing. All workers should work hard and not be lazy. A lazy worker has nothing to offer to the company.

The best way to handle a lazy dude is to diplomatically split the work into equal part and let he choose . It may bring little misunderstanding in the beginning but it is better that to kill yourself with work.

If your co-worker is a lazy it is best to tell him and make it clear that you are not going to do his tasks for him and that both have the same obligations to be, if the thing is not fixed it will be better to contact a superior and report the situation.

The workplace is one place that needs teamwork so people are always grouped to work as team mates. How would you handle your own teammate if the person is lazy

If it's actually my duty to get my teammates to carry out or his duty always, I believe that the best way for me to be able to do this is to make sure that I inspect his or her work all the time.

A lazy person will always find excuses to give on why he or she isn't working hard or being lazy it is to ignore their flimsy excuses and get them reported
