Synopsis

Difficult people and their difficult behavior can create significant individual, team and organizational dysfunction.

Coaching the difficult person takes a unique, specific approach. Managers can confirm a person’s willingness and ability to change, based on the six steps outlined in this brief, simple guide. How to Coach the Difficult Person in Six Steps is designed to be a desktop guide for managers in every organization. Dealing with difficult people is like playing whack-a-mole. Just when you think you’ve ridded yourself of one, another one pops up. Therefore, if you lead, manage and coach people, you don’t want to miss out on the invaluable advice packed into this quick, brief guide!
