How Best to Deal with “Challenging” People
Undoubtedly, at some point in your career you’ve dealt with a challenging person at work. And lived through it! Sometimes the hardest part of this scenario was (or is) “protecting” your direct reports.
- What approaches have you found most successful in these situations – for both protecting yourself and your team?
- Have you found allies – inside or outside your company?
- Have you role-played your response with a team member, written a script or drafted an unsent email?
- How have you set and/or reset boundaries?
- Have you involved legal?
During our Members’ Discussion, we’ll look to hear how you have dealt with both the BULLIES and Situations that you could manage and those that you couldn’t. And, how you’ve stopped yourself from just throwing in the towel. Looking at the current situation, including gyrating tariffs and DOGE’s actions, What Issues Are Keeping You Up Nights?
