Coping With Difficult People

Coping With Difficult People

Coping With Difficult People - John Maxwell - / -

Every leader faces difficult people and draining circumstances. The following difficult personality types commonly accost leaders today:

Personality Type

The Sherman Tank: rides over people

The Space Cadet: lives in another world

The Volcano: explosive, unpredictable

The Thumb Sucker: self-pity, pouts to real trouble

The Wet Blanket: always down

The Garbage Collector: attracts the worst

The User: demands lots of time, energy

Coping Strategy

Consider the issue; stand up if important

Find and develop their unique gifts

Remove from crowd, listen, be direct

Don’t reward; expose them

Be honest, don’t cater; don’t let them lead

Challenge their statements; force honesty

Set boundaries; require accountability
