MANAGING DIFFICULT PEOPLE

• Assess the situation
• Know what you are and how you are seen by others
• Do not wish for the other person to be difference and do not expect him to be like you
• Get communication going with him and determine what you need to do in order to gain his trust

"Managing difficult people successfully requires a good understanding of people, lots of empathy, excellent communication skills and a willingness to curb our own ego"
