How do you handle someone who constantly interrupts you? Or
who accuses you of being unreliable or incompetent? Or who tries to make you
feel guilty? Or who threatens you with dire consequences unless you give in? How
do you communicate with someone who uses false, phony, or confusing information?
Someone who leads you to believe you have an agreement, only to make yet another
last-minute demand or request? Or who drags his feet endlessly? Or who just
plain refuses to work with you or others? Or who boasts endlessly, or is passive
aggressive, or shouts and yells?
What makes that person refuse to cooperate? It is easy to believe that
stonewalling, attacks and tricks are just part of his basic nature, and that
there is little you can do to change his difficult behavior. But you can affect
his behavior if you can deal successfully with his underlying motivations.
Dealing with Difficult People lays out a step-by-step strategy for
meeting these challenges -- the strategy of breakthrough communications. Taken
in sequence, the steps enable you to change the game from face-to-face
confrontation to side-by-side problem solving. While no method can guarantee
success, this breakthrough strategy will maximize your chances of getting what
you need in even the toughest situations.
