How To Deal With Difficult People
Difficult people are those who will not do what the manager wants them to do and always do what the managers does not want them to do. Having a specific goal and direction is important in dealing with difficult people. By being committed and making no excuses, unnecessary downline conflict can be eliminated. Various difficult personalities can be controlled. For example, \"tank\" personalities, which \"roll\" over people, must be made to show respect. Next, \"sniper\" personalities must be brought out of hiding by asking a question that searches for the relevance or meaning of their communication. The goal with chronic complainers, who get so fixated on avoiding problems that they only notice what is wrong, is to shift their focus to problem solving.
