At the heart of dealing with difficult people is handling their--and your
own--emotions. How do you stay calm in a tough conversation? How do you stay
unruffled in the face of passive-aggressive comments? And how do you know if you're
difficult to work with?
This book explains the research behind our emotional response to awful colleagues
and shows how to build the empathy and resilience to make those relationships more
productive.
