Working with Difficult Personalities - 50minutes
Working with difficult personalities
Problem: we all encounter tension and conflicts from time to time throughout our careers. How can we deal with difficult personalities so that they do not throw us off balance and we can continue with what we are doing?
Uses: knowing how to analyse the situation and react constructively when, for example, your supervisor is behaving like a tyrant, a coworker is poisoning the atmosphere within the team or a colleague is oversharing about their anxiety can have a major impact on your professional relationships.
Professional context: interpersonal relationships at work.
FAQs:
Why do conflicts arise?
Is conflict inevitable?
Do I have to make concessions?
Is it ever a good idea to get angry at work?
Why does a particular colleague behave differently when it is just the two of us compared to when we are in a group?
Why are there high and low points in my relationships with colleagues?
Why do I always end up working with difficult colleagues?
Why do I never get on with my supervisors?
Is it possible to change people?
Interpersonal relationships are not easy and we come across people we struggle to get on with every day. Unfortunately, while we cannot choose our colleagues, we are still forced to spend large amounts of time with them at work.
Our relationships with some people are naturally easy, harmonious and constructive, which means that they do not require any particular effort. Conversely, we need to work at our relationships with more difficult people. Accepting
