A difficult employee is one whose attitude or behavior is detrimental to an organization. Typically, difficult people are aware of their behavior, but rarely care that their attitude hampers their productivity, or affects the success of their organization.
However, it’s important to remember that a difficult person is not necessarily an individual whom you dislike. Occasionally, the difficulty might not be the individual’s behavior but might instead be your perception of their behavior.
In this course you will learn to: recognize the impact that difficult people can have on an organization, manage a difficult person, and identify difficult personality types, address difficult employees, and mitigate their behavior, and monitor the behavior of a difficult employee, and document ongoing changes in behavior and performance.
This Instructor's Edition of this course includes notes and suggestions to assist you in presenting the material, whether in an in-person classroom setting, or as an instructor-led online or distance-learning course. It also provides you with the answers to questions found in mid-lesson activities, as well as in the quiz that concludes the course.
