DEALING WITH DIFFICULT PEOPLE
CONFLICT MANAGEMENT
SEMINAR OUTLINE
The easiest way to deal with difficult people is to stay as far away from them as you can, suggests Robert Bramson, PH.D., organizational psychologist and management consultant with Bramson Gill Associates and author of "Coping with Difficult People".
​
Great advice for those who work by themselves at home; it's an achievable option. But the vast majority of us cannot avoid interactions with a wide range of personality types, including some who are inconsiderate, stubborn, incorrigible, inappeasable, indecent or downright sleazy. In fact, success sometimes depends on your ability to work well with all of the above.
​
Edward Deming, the father of quality management, has said that people can face almost any problem except the problem of people. They can work long hours, face declining business, even the loss of a job, but they can't deal with the difficult people in their lives. This one-day workshop will help you identify some of the ways you may be contributing to theses problems and give you some strategies to adopt at work and in your personal life.
