As we advance in our careers there's often a tension between having experienced so many of these behaviors from managers and transitioning into management and leadership yourself. How to be effective and still give direct feedback and achieve your goals with this constant voice in your head of fearing that you're becoming one of these archetypes? I was wondering if you could share some strategies for how to either maintain your confidence or how to kind of give yourself a gut check.
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.
