Course Overview
How to work with difficult people
The workplace is filled with colourful personalities, some of whom are “difficult” to work with. While you can’t change the behaviours of coworkers, colleagues and bosses, you can learn how to handle and deal with them effectively.
Working with Difficult People aims to equip you with the right attitude and the relevant skills and techniques to handle different types of difficult people; so that relationship can be improved and work can get done more effectively. At the same time, the course also provides you with ways to get feedback about yourself and what you can do if you find yourself belonging to one of the categories of difficult people.
