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
