Who Should Attend?
Anyone who must deal with difficult people
We Also Recommend:
Do you recognize these people?
- The Know-It-Alls. They're arrogant, and usually have an opinion on any issue. When they're wrong, they get defensive.
- The Passives. These people never offer ideas, or let you know where they stand.
- The Dictators. They bully and intimidate. They're constantly demanding and brutally critical.
- The Yes People. They agree to any commitment, yet rarely deliver. You can't trust them to follow through.
- The No People. They are quick to point out why something won't work. Worse, they are inflexible.
- The Complainers. Is anything ever right with them? They prefer complaining to finding solutions.
Of course you recognize them. They're the people you work with, sell to, depend on, live with. Learn to deal with them quickly and confidently at "Dealing with Difficult People."
