Working with Difficult Personalities

Businessmen discussing deal

Duration 1-Day

Overview

When workplace relationships are not harmonious, the effect on culture, staff churn and customer satisfaction can be detrimental. These in turn can have a negative impact on productivity and also the overall financial performance of the business.

Along with the Conflict Resolution training, this Working with Difficult Personalities training helps participants to learn how to diffuse conflict and communicate effectively with people in any situation that may be tense or negative.

When you know how to deal with difficult people, you are able to make a difficult situation work to your advantage.

Whether it is conflict involving customers, staff or management, the tools learnt in this course are aimed at finding a resolution to prevent issues from escalating.

Profiling can be incorporated as part of this training. Ask us about the better profiling tool for your team.
