Course Summary
You know them: the Aggressor, the Whiner, the Overagreeable, the Silent Pouter, the Negativist and the Know-it-All. Although their numbers are small their impact can be significant. How can you cope effectively with each one? They can be responsible for attitudes at work deteriorating and negativism growing. They can be responsible for absenteeism, significant loss in productivity and lost clients. They can frustrate and demoralise individuals and teams. In this workshop you will learn how to recognise each behaviour, why these styles persist in their incompatible ways and how to cope effectively with them. Delegates will complete their own Personal Profile and learn how to use their own personality style effectively with difficult people.
