Do you recognize these people? • The Know-It-Alls. They’re arrogant, and usually have an opinion on any issue. When they’re wrong, they get defensive. • The Passives.

They agree to any commitment, yet rarely deliver. You can’t trust them to follow through. • The “No” People. They are quick to point out why something won’t work. What’s worse, they’re inflexible. • The Complainers. Is anything ever right with them? They prefer complaining to finding solutions. Of course you recognize them. They’re the people you work with, sell to, depend on, and live with. Learn to deal with them quickly and confidently in the Dealing with Difficult People course.
