Overview

Wherever you work, you are likely to meet difficult people. It could be coworkers, bosses or customers with whom you have to deal. Thankfully, depending on who they are and how they behave, you can develop strategies for how to deal with difficult people are work. 1. Rise above it Largely, your response to other people is triggered by your own self-esteem and how you feel about yourself. You are in charge of that. It is much easier to deal with difficult people at work if they are negatively impacting upon a lot of people. That way, you have allies, also treated badly by that person, who can help you deal with them. But what about if you are the only person dealing with that difficult one? Then you have to fall back on your own self confidence. Be sure you are doing your job properly and you are treating people well, then you can tell yourself it is the difficult person`s problem, not yours and you can forget about it to a large extent. 2. Develop good relationships Develop good, positive relationships with everyone you work with. Do your job well, but accept and ask for help when necessary. Appreciate those you work with and the job that they do. If you respect other people at work they are more likely to respect you and be less difficult with you. 3. Give effective feedback If someone is being difficult at work, often, you will need to do something about that. You may have to give them some feedback. The way you do that is important if it is to be effective. First, ask if it's OK to give the person feedback and if it's a good time. It is always better to talk to them when they want to listen to you. Give them a heads up so that if you have to tell them something that may be difficult for them to hear, tell them that so they can prepare for it. Be straightforward and simple. Tell the person the issue and also the impact it is having on other people. Let them know the positive impact that behaving differently would have on people. That will help them see a reason to change. Also, talk with them about ways they could change their behavior. They may not see these ways for themselves, especially at first.
