Working Well with Others
At some point, all of us will encounter competing personalities at work, all vying to get things done their own way. Interpersonal differences and personal perspectives, whether with a manager or a colleague, can increase stress, drain energy, impact morale, and affect productivity and happiness. But there are strategies for mitigating tension and building stronger, more trusting relationships, such as adjusting our own behavior and understanding the situations and behavior of others that can challenge us. In this course, you'll learn how to assess, identify, and manage your own behavioral style to help you avoid and control conflict before it happens. You'll also investigate how to handle common situations that provoke conflict at work, how to work effectively with different personality types, and how to build habits to help you handle interpersonal conflict in the workplace with grace and patience.

Difficult People: Why They Act That Way and How to Deal with Them
Anything taken to an extreme can be a liability, including human behavior. While confident, cautious, or energetic people can be perfectly tolerable in small doses when working together, they can also be annoying or problematic when their behavior is over-the-top. Then there are people who are just plain negative - their glasses are always "half empty." While occasional griping is acceptable when working on a team, the behavior of negative people can eventually wear you down. To ensure successful communication and collaboration in the workplace, it's vital you develop the skills needed for managing difficult people. In this course, you'll learn about the four types of difficult people: dominant-controlling, analytical-obsessive, expressive-impulsive, and skeptical-negative. You'll also discover techniques for dealing with difficult people, and for managing your own emotions.
