Publisher's summary

Workplaces are filled with all types of people, and some of them can be very difficult to get along with. By understanding difficult people and their behaviors, a savvy individual can resolve the awkward and problematic situations they create.

Dealing with Difficult People looks at difficult behavior - what drives it and how to cope with it by managing aggression, avoiding awkward situations, and keeping calm. This third edition provides brand new summary points for each chapter and the tools and techniques for dealing with difficult customers, difficult people in the digital sphere, and difficult bosses.

Loved it to the very last sentence

This book is definitely a "must listen to" if you're becoming a Manager, supervisor, etc. Is full with pretty much years of knowledge in some hours. I'll listen to it again.

Good, but not earth shattering

This book provides pretty good insights regarding intra-workplace relationships. It won’t tell you anything you don’t know, but may provide a good outside looking in perspective.

Good

It has useful tips on dealing with difficult people. It’s a bit more business orientated than I wanted, I wanted more about dealing with a friend that is stubborn or a family member. But this book is good too because it can still help in life and business.

A little outdated as of 2023

There’s some fairly outdated concepts and generalizations. Definitely meant for application in a conservative environment. If you’re in a more progressive business or culture proceed with awareness of the need to be socially conscious.
