WHEN ONE DIFFICULT PERSON STARTS AFFECTING EVERYONE ELSE
Difficult people rarely stay a “people problem.”
Their behavior starts affecting the people around them, and before long, you may be dealing with much more than one difficult person.
TRUST
People start holding back, avoiding conversations, and wondering who they can trust.
RETENTION
Good people begin asking themselves whether staying is worth the stress.
PERFORMANCE
Time and energy that should go toward results gets spent managing tension, conflict, and frustration.
CULTURE
Behavior that keeps getting tolerated can quickly become behavior everyone learns to live with.
And the longer it continues, the harder it becomes to fix.
If you already have someone in mind while reading this, pay attention to that.
WHEN THE PROBLEM IS BIGGER THAN ONE CONVERSATION
Behavior that keeps getting tolerated can quickly become behavior everyone learns to live with.
You don’t have to keep managing around the difficult person.
Sometimes the difficult person is a top performer. Sometimes they have been there forever. Sometimes everyone knows there is a problem, and everyone has learned how to work around it.
That is where I come in. I help leaders figure out what is really happening, have the conversations that need to happen, and change the behavior before you lose good people or the problem spreads through the culture.
You may need help if:
- You keep having the same conversation with the same person.
- Good employees are frustrated, withdrawing, or leaving.
- Other leaders are working around the person instead of addressing the behavior.
- You know something needs to change, and you are unsure what to do next.
