Suitability - Who should attend?



Difficult people are not deliberately difficult. They are fulfilling a need in themselves, conscious or otherwise. Behind every stubborn viewpoint, criticism, or complaint is a want for something to be balanced. Handling difficult people is accepting that this person has a differing viewpoint to you, for very good reasons of their own. It is important to put this person’s wants and needs into words which provide both you and them with an understanding of why things seem difficult. To then show that you are with them on the journey as long as they consider your proposals as well. This course prepares the delegate for that objective and covers anyone from Directorship level to the Shop Floor.
