Don’t mirror the behavior of the one you are dealing with. • Don’t take the other person’s attitude or words personally. Most of the time they don’t know you or your life. • AVOID physical contact with others at any expense. • If you must give criticism, do so with a positive tone and attitude. • Remember that everyone is sensitive about him/herself and his/her situation.
Standards for Dealing with Difficult People and Managing Conflict • Do not verbally attack the other person; simply state your case and ideas. • Allow the other person to save face: Don’t beat a dead horse. • If you have a problem with someone or their actions, be specific and let him or her know ahead of time. • If someone shows signs o becoming physically aggressive, get help early, stay calm, if necessary, walk to a safe area. • Allow the other person to “vent” before moving on to any negotiation or resolution.
Standards for Dealing with Difficult People and Managing Conflict • Try to create a “win-win” situation where everyone can walk away having gained. • Determine if the conflict is a “person” conflict or a “situation” conflict. • Ask the other person what he/she needs; try to understand the situation. • Realize that you may be in the wrong. • Ask yourself “If this were my last action on earth, would I be proud of how I acted?”
