Dealing with Difficult People: Working with You is Killing Me!

Dealing with Difficult People: Working with You is Killing Me!

Wednesday, May 5, 2021 (7:00 PM - 8:30 PM) (EDT)

Description

Cranky Colleagues? Surly Students? Abominable Administrators? Every workplace has its own set of people who are negative, people who oppose every idea that is not their own, people who blame others, and people who seem to enjoy creating conflict. Difficult people reduce productivity, lower department morale, and raise everyone’s stress levels. This seminar will focus on 5 types of difficult people that often walk the halls of academia, explore their motivation for behaving badly, and provide specific strategies for neutralizing their negative behaviors. Don’t reward difficult people for being difficult. Learn to take charge and rise above the fray! 

Learning Objectives: 

  • Describe how difficult people think, what they fear, and why they act the way they do.
  • Identify the behaviors of the four most common types of difficult people in academia. 
  • Develop a personal action plan to neutralize the behavior of difficult people in your work setting.
