Science Management Associates Workshops Dealing with difficult people in the science workplace This workshop is usually offered as part of the workshop on Negotiation and Conflict Resolution, typically occupying the last 45-60 minutes of that workshop. The tools presented show scientists how to handle difficult people in a scientific setting. Examples include dealing with anger and hostility, dealing with overly critical or judgmental superiors or colleagues, recognizing and managing passive aggressive behaviors, and more. As with the negotiation workshop, all the examples are taken from scientific settings and situations that will be immediately recognizable to most scientists, no matter what their discipline. The tools presented are easy to apply and can transform uncomfortable interactions into productive interchanges. •How to deal with angry people •How to respond to people who are overly critical or judgemental •How to identify and deal with passive- aggressive behaviors •How to recognize these behaviors in yourself |
