| Summary: |
Is
there a "difficult" person in your work or personal life? Losing
sleep, productivity, or morale because you are at a loss as
to how to deal with the conflict? Do you find yourself saying
things like:
"My whole department is great! It's just that JANE drives us
all crazy - we'd be better off without her."
"My boss could win the 'World's Biggest Micro-manager' award."
"I have a teammate that doesn't pull his weight. I find
myself working more to make up for his shortcomings."
"Watch out for Rick - you can't start a conversation with him
because he'll never stop talking."
Join coaches Tracy Rekart and Cara Wilson for an interactive,
eye-opening presentation. You'll come away with a new
look at an age-old organizational dynamic: dealing with the
person that just drives you nuts. Specifically, we will
examine:
- How to identify where you actually have influence and control
in these situations; Understanding where you can influence the
outcome can save time, energy, and frustration on your part.
- How to "get to the balcony" - the ways in which finding a
high level view of your organizational structure can help you
increase your ability to engage productively.
- Two models of communication that will provide a framework
for examining your own contribution to the situation and specific,
practical ways to engage with others in a non-threatening and
productive manner.
- Where to turn for additional resources in improving your professional
(and personal) relationships.
