Managing difficult people is a challenge in almost every workplace. They are few in number, but their habitual behavior affects most of the people they deal with, frustrating and demoralizing colleagues, driving lost productivity and absenteeism, and even costing companies customers and clients.
This 60-minute webinar gives you action steps and processes that work. You'll start by analyzing your own reaction and what you can control, what makes a person difficult for you, and how you see the problem. You'll then learn to identify different types of difficult people, adjust your business communication style, and use strategies to handle each situation, including how to spot and manage a difficult boss and the mistakes people commonly make with one.
When people run into a difficult person, they often assume they caused the problem or did something wrong. Usually that isn't so: it is the difficult person who is behaving in an unbusinesslike, disruptive way. Knowing that, and having clear steps to follow, changes how you respond.
This session suits leaders, managers, individual contributors and high-potential employees.
