Let’s be honest …you probably have people in your life … that, if they would just go away! … your life would be easier.
Having to deal with toxic and even the merely difficult, is overwhelming and frustrating.
It can be Frustrating and time consuming trying to figure out how to get them out of this moribund state.
The non-sensical conversations, ad hominem attacks, misrepresentations, deception, lack of taking responsibility for their actions, defensiveness, back-stabbing, condescension, and sarcasm is exhausting.
You’d like to just get the job done, without feeling like you’re going into battle. You avoid them as much as possible, find reasons for not working with them, maybe even miss meetings they will be attending, anything to not have to interact with them – but there’s no way around it, sometimes you just have to work with them.
Toxic and Difficult people can show up anywhere in our work and personal lives – they can be customers, vendors, staff, colleagues or managers. Toxic people have specific behaviors which require specific strategies for dealing them – they are much different from the strategies and tactics for dealing with people who are merely difficult.
Your life will be much less stressful and more productive when you learn to distinguish between those who are toxic and those who are difficult AND learn strategies, tactics, tools and techniques for dealing with each.
Toxic and difficult people can also be very destructive to relationships – one of the first rules is to learn how to protect yourself.
