Each time I deliver onsite communication training dealing with difficult people in the workplace, I am asked if I would include articles on this topic in my blog–third person articles that I come across in my readings and research. I’m doing just that this morning, with the reminder that although this is a thought-provoking article, with numerous good ideas, I don’t necessarily endorse all of the techniques offered. I invite you to read these ten ideas for dealing with negativity and toxicity in the workplace, and respond with your own ideas! In time, I’ll respond with mine. It’s definitely worth a read. There are a couple of ideas in particular that I think are awesome, and a couple of others that I find questionable. What do you think? Leave a comment and let me know. http://humanresources.about.com/od/workrelationships/a/difficultpeople.htm
