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.
