It would be easy to say that to deal with difficult people, you should be tolerant and accept people's differences. This sounds nice, and might work in the short term, but if you're working together with negative people, you're better off learning how to respond and relate to them. Dealing with difficult people requires that you first learn how to manage yourself. In this course, you'll learn techniques for managing difficult people, including becoming self-aware and practicing self-management. You'll explore how to tune into the feelings and emotions of difficult people when working on a team with them. You'll also learn how to build your emotional intelligence to help make your collaboration work more productive.
