I have lived through this one many times and done well:

The firm I am working for is not good at keeping the staff- so we have newcomers(they often become leavers) and leavers on regular basis. I happen to stay in place as a matter of experience.

Blessed with a great positive energy I get along well with almost everyone the good, the bad and the ugly.The problem here is not actually the person but their experience and their position. Some very inexperienced new ones tend to take serious positions by themselves because there is always a way to do that in our firm. And I have to correct their errors by advanced tactics without hurting no one. I do this by acting well ahead of time and silently ignoring what seems to be not critical. Most of the time my judgement works though there has been times when I jet lagged. I regard that as worth the risk.

Is there a better way just for purpose of discussion? I can not discuss this with the bosses. They are not organization minded though they have nothing against me at all.

My sincere respects

IJR,

I think I have reasons to advise you to become more aggressive and a tad bad rather than being good to everyone. As someone put it-I dont know the way to success but to please everyone is sure recipe for failure. Try to create a furor even on sight of small errors and let the management notice how you are driving others and helping them by strangulating them. I understand that you are keen to get the work done as smoothly as possible but just stop at that, enough. In the process if you hurt someone, dont let your emotions rule you.

Regards.
