Michael Corum has updated and expanded his 2003 classic, Taking Disciplinary Actions with this new handbook.
Maintaining discipline is the management function of setting high standards of behavior, integrity, and manners in the federal service. It involves both the positive and negative aspects of setting standards and enforcing and reinforcing them. The foundation of discipline in any federal agency is a solid understanding by supervisors and managers of the substantive elements of disciplinary actions in the federal Service.
One of America’s leading authorities on supervising federal employees, Mr. Corum explains to federal supervisors and managers the philosophy, structure, and detail of administering discipline in the federal service. Disciplining Federal Employees begins by leading supervisors through the four sequential decisions they must make in any disciplinary action. The book then describes how to apply these decisions to the most common disciplinary situations encountered by supervisors and managers, including insubordination and contentious conduct, alcohol and drug situations, off-duty conduct, workplace violence, and protected activity. The two extremes of preventive measures to keep good employees honest and winning tactics for firing the worst employees complete this text.
