DEALING WITH DIFFICULT PEOPLE: TURN TENSION INTO COLLABORATION

 
Difficult colleagues show up at work in many forms and lead to frustration and lower productivity. What can be done about a micromanaging, undermining, uncooperative or thwarting colleague? Team members who get impossibly defensive when you try to offer feedback? The intuitive methods leaders use to manage "difficult coworkers" often backfire, resulting in vicious cycles of worsening behavior. This session will share mindsets and methods for opening up the possibility of change when all other efforts have stopped working. Discover how to apply proven strategies to resolve your toughest workplace challenges.
