Another interesting article this week relates to people that we hate to work work with but have to. In summary the ways to resolve the situation come down to some simple do's and don'ts from an HBR a article by Amy Gallo.
And remember if all else fails count to 10.
Principles to Remember
Do:
- Manage your own reaction to the behavior first
- Practice emotional detachment so the person's behaviors don't bother you
- Spend time trying to get to know the person and better understand what motivates him
Don't:
- Assume that it is all about the other person — you likely play some part
- Commiserate with others who could be unfairly influenced by your negativity or may judge you for your complaints
- Give feedback unless you can focus on work issues and can avoid a personal conflict
