Working with Difficult People Workshop
April 20, 2010: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
If you ever had to work with a difficult boss or team, you know how challenging it can be to perform your job to your fullest potential and shine. Whether sabotaging success, creating chaos within teams or entire departments, or just making tasks thornier than they have to be, difficult people can generate unnecessary obstacles and impede or dampen the professional success of others.
