Episode notes

If you're already in this charge relationship neither of you wants to be talking to the other. How do you make this happen? Yeah so starting sentences with we are focusing what do we actually both want. So my nemesis was a tormentor but she was something else right? Yeah political operator. The political operator is someone who is just completely convinced that they have to do everything to further their career and they don't care who they step on to get there.

To cap off our Getting Along series (see the last four episodes in our feed if you missed them), Amy Gallo offers advice, in front of a live audience, on how to deal with “difficult” colleagues. She talks with Amy Bernstein about the different types of difficult coworkers (from the tormentor to the know-it-all) and then answers questions from several members of the audience about the specific situations they’re facing. If you’re navigating a tough work relationship right now and don’t know how to turn things around, this episode is for you.
