Justice is a subjective concept or an appropriate action to take. Being fair is not as easy as it seems. Being fair alone will bring benefits either in leadership or in a relationship.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Be Fair as a Boss
Step 1. Give equality to all employees
Maybe you have your favorite employee because he or she is always looking out for you, or doing some other good thing. However, that doesn't mean you have to give your employees a golden child, because if you do that then other employees will feel jealous, and this will not be in line with your plan to be a fair person. Therefore, equalize all your employees so that you can be judged as a fair person by your employees.
- Ask yourself why you should give gold to one of your employees. If it's because other employees have been unkind to you, it's probably better to talk to them about it than you envy them to clear things up.
- If you give up one of your employees, then other employees will think that you are unfair to them, and they will also be lazy to work with you. therefore, always try to be fair to all your employees.
Step 2. Set yourself as an example
If you want to be a fair boss, then you have to show your right attitude as a boss and show it to your employees. Do your actions according to what you say well in front of your employees, because if you do not act according to what you say then your employees will lose the respect of your employees, and it will also hinder you if you want to be a fair boss.
- If you tell your employees that they have to come to work at 9 o'clock, then you should do the same, or you can even show your credibility as a boss by showing up earlier than work time.
- If you find that one of your employees work is not serious then you should give him a warning. This should also apply to your other employees so that you can be judged as a fair employer.
- If you think you're being fair but one of your employees is against it, then maybe he doesn't like you.
Step 3. Create a rule
Another way to be a fair boss is to make the rules very clear. If your employees think you are not a fair boss, they may find it difficult to carry out the tasks you give them because of your unclear message or rules you give them. Therefore, when you are going to make a rule or you ask your employees to do something, then write it down in detail and very clearly so that your employees do not experience difficulties.
- The clearer you write down the rules, the more your employees will respect you as a fair boss.
- If you change a rule, make sure all your employees know it well. This is to avoid misunderstandings that might make you judged as an unfair boss by your employees.
Step 4. Don't let your prejudices influence your decision
If you want to be fair, then you have to get rid of other prejudices against the employees you hire. Don't because you like one of the applicants then you accept it and don't accept applicants who clearly match the qualifications your company needs. This will make you judged as an unfair boss by your employees.
Of course it is difficult to dispel a prejudice. Therefore, try to ask yourself first before you make a decision. This is to prevent you from taking the wrong steps
Step 5. Give your employees voting rights
Just because you are a boss then your employees have no right to bother you. If you want to be a fair boss, then you have to give your employees a voice to know their response to your performance. Meet with your employees one by one and talk to them about work problems until they evaluate you. This will have a positive impact not only on the company you lead, it will also have a good effect on you because you will be judged as a good boss and also fair to its employees.
- If visiting or calling your employees one by one is too tiring for you, you can gather them in one room and then you can listen to all the complaints of your employees more clearly.
- If you have an idea to advance the company you lead, then your employees must know it well so that your plan can run well. In addition, you will also be judged as a fair boss for letting all your employees know clearly about your ideas.
Step 6. Apologize if you made a mistake
Just because you are the boss you never make mistakes. Therefore, if you suspect your employee wrongly, or you yourself have made a mistake, do not hesitate to apologize to your employee for the mistake you made.
If you have wronged more than one of your employees or perhaps more, then you should apologize to all of them
Step 7. Don't get carried away by the justice you do
Although being fair is a good thing, don't let you lose your authority as a boss in the eyes of your employees. Therefore you must ensure that the justice you apply to your employees is not taken advantage of by them so that it makes you tired to deal with it.
To prevent you from getting tired, make sure you get enough rest. In addition, watch your diet to avoid getting tired
Method 2 of 3: Be Fair as a Teacher
Step 1. Give everyone a chance to talk
If you want to be a fair teacher, then you must be able to accept the opinions and ideas of all your students without exception. If you only call the same student and ignore suggestions from other students, then you will be judged as an unfair teacher. Therefore, make sure all of your students are actively participating in class, by giving them time to talk.
- You need to know that by giving the opportunity to speak to all of your students, they will also feel a pleasant atmosphere in the class you teach.
- Practice calling out students who rarely express their aspirations in class. While this may not work out very well, you may be able to get new ideas from your students who rarely participate in class.
Step 2. Be careful how you respond to reactions from your students
You may think that you have been fair in class, but perhaps if you look deeper you have not been fair to all your students. Ideally, you should be able to accept all the opinions or ideas that your students come up with, and provide opportunities for your students to be able to answer or add questions or ideas from other students.
You can also ask other teachers for their opinion. To further ensure that you have been fair to your students, or you are not sure whether you have been fair or not, then you can ask other teachers for opinions about what you should do in the future to be more fair
Step 3. Know how to flatter someone in front of others
You may have students who are less active that annoys you. But of course not everything will be like that, if one of your students stands out more than the others, give him praise so that he will be more confident. In addition, praise in front of other students will also arouse enthusiasm for learning so that they can be more active in class.
- Set a time to be able to talk one-on-one with your students. You can do this to find out the weaknesses and strengths of each of your students.
- Flattering your students in class will make them feel confident in their abilities, as long as you flatter your students.
Step 4. Make sure you rate it fairly
Just because you like the attitude of one of your students when he is in class, but he always fails a lesson or two, try not to give him more marks than the other students. You have to make sure that all your students get fair marks for what they have done.
- Read all the assignments from your students at the same time so that you can give a fair score for the assignments that have been done by your students.
- Try not to let your students down mentally. A student who always gets a "B" in his assignments may be able to correct it so that he can get an "A". Therefore, give suggestions that can improve the mentality of your students.
Step 5. Know that if you are being fair to all your students it doesn't mean you are doing the right thing
Each student has their own strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, you must know this as a support so that you are able to be more fair to all your students.
- For example, if there is one student who does not do his homework for one time, and another student who has not done his homework more than five times or more, then the two students do not have to be punished with the same punishment.
- Even if you don't accept exceptions when your student makes a mistake, try to approach it first as it may be that your student has another problem that is causing him or her to make that mistake.
Step 6. Avoid making one of your students your favorite
While it's hard not to like students who are always active in class, you should avoid this. Therefore, if there is one student that you like because he is active, then you should not exclude the other students. If you have a problem student, try to talk one-on-one with the student to find out why he is acting the way he is.
- If you act like this then you will lose your reputation as a fair teacher in the classroom.
- Maybe one of your students is feeling hopeless that he or she can't be what you hope to be, but try to avoid direct judgment without going overboard.
Method 3 of 3: Be Fair As Parents
Step 1. Be understanding
An important part of being a fair parent is knowing what's on your child's mind. As best you can, you should know every activity your child does to be able to understand what they are thinking.
Before you punish or create a new rule, make sure you think about the consequences for your child
Step 2. Listen to what your child needs
If you want to be a fair parent, then it is very important that you listen to what your child has to say. Maybe your child has a problem that makes him think about it all the time. Therefore, try to listen to every problem your child is experiencing and provide suggestions that can increase your child's morale.
- By listening to your child's every conversation carefully, it will show how much you care for your child.
- Maybe you feel tired of always listening to your child's every conversation. However, as a parent, it is your duty to always take good care of your child so that your child can grow according to what you expect.
Step 3. Give your children what they need
Being a fair parent doesn't mean treating your children the same; this means you have to treat according to what your children need. Every child has different desires and characteristics. If you want to be a fair parent, then you have to give each of your children the needs they need.
Every child is unique, so treating your children the same is not fair
Step 4. Avoid telling your child that “life isn't fair
Even though many parents get frustrated with their children and say this, try your best to avoid it. This will lower their expectations of the world, and will influence them to become pessimistic.
You should also avoid saying this if you are very upset about your children's behavior. You certainly want your children to be successful people. Therefore, avoid using this sentence so that your child does not become a pessimist about what they will face in the future
Step 5. Make house rules clear
If you want to be a fair parent, then you have to set the house rules clearly and according to your children's abilities. Make sure the rules that you make are in accordance with the abilities of your children, so that no one of the children feels that they are being treated unfairly by the rules.
- One of the easiest ways to tell if the house rules you have made are fair to your children is if one of your children breaks the rules one day and says "This is not fair!" Then it is a sign that the rules have not been fair to your children.
- If you have children who are far apart in age, of course your oldest child has more rights than younger children. Make sure you explain it well to your younger child to avoid any jealousy your child might feel.
Step 6. Role play well
In order to be a fair parent then you must act according to what you say. Of course there are some rules that don't apply to you. however, try to follow a few house rules even if they don't apply to you. this is so that your children feel that the rules of the house are fair to the whole family.
- If you teach manners to your children, but you don't do it yourself to neighbors or other people, then it will only confuse your children with what you are teaching them.
- You certainly don't want your children to think that you are an unfair parent to them.
