Working
with Others
“We cannot
accomplish all that we need to do without working together.”
~ Bill
Richardson
Whether you sit behind a
desk and have daily meetings or interactions with many different people, we
have all come across someone we find difficult to work with. Communicating
with difficult people can be a tough task to handle on your own. When a problem
is noticeable to a group of people a compromise is much easier to identify and
implement. Learning to diplomatically deal with difficult people with
professional courage can make your office a happier place.
Learning to work with
different kinds of people is a key to success in the ever-changing business
world. We might not all agree on the same issues or ideas but problem solving,
compromising and listening to other peoples’ opinions with an open mind can
help us all.
Always
take a step back and take a look at your reactions, think about your facial
responses or verbal and written communications that might have put a wedge
between you and this difficult person. Try to narrow down the issue and learn
what triggers you to react the way you do. We can all learn lessons from
examining our own behaviors. What we can’t do is control others.
