Episode notes

We are dumbstruck by their arrogance and we believe that because they say they can do something that they can we forget to actually test whether they can. Instead of asking for the data or the facts or underlying assumptions because they're so confident we believe them okay how should we deal with that? "Facts and data are your friends here when someone proclaims something that they're absolutely certain about if someone starts mansplaining something to you"

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.
