Save your organization by building the skills to deal with difficult people

We all have to work with people we can't stand to be around. Our challenge is to find creative ways to handle these difficult people. In the fable Make Difficult People Disappear, the skills and strategic plan needed to change your mindset are told through a clear, concise story. By first understanding the four main personality types in the workplace, Commander, Organizer, Relater, and Entertainer, readers can then devise effective strategies for diffusing unproductive and damaging behavior.

This book serves to change the mindset and behavior of people who deal with difficulty on a regular basis.

  • Wofford describes how through understanding our behavior differences and natural reactions to stress, that utilizing a plan based on these differences the difficulty simply seems to disappear
  • Advises everyone from frustrated executives to entrepreneurs tired of dealing with difficult people who suck the life out of their organizations

Complete with a step-by-step action plan, Make Difficult People Disappear serves to replenish your confidence and build skills in leading those who until now you didn't know how to manage and felt there was no choice but to continue to deal with or ignore.



From the Back Cover



We all have to work with people we struggle with or can't stand to be around. The challenge is to find creative ways to handle these difficult people and still have time to do our jobs. By first understanding the four main personality types in the workplace--Commander, Organizer, Relater, and Entertainer--and recognizing which we are and how that causes us to behave, anyone can devise effective strategies for diffusing unproductive and damaging behavior in others.

Through a fable that any busy and productive person can relate to, Make Difficult People Disappear will teach you the skills and strategic plans needed to not just deal with difficult people, but also to change how you see them and how they see you.

Complete with a step-by-step action plan, Make Difficult People Disappear serves to replenish your confidence and build your skills in leading and working with those who, until now, you didn't know how to manage. Everyone from frustrated executives to entrepreneurs tired of dealing with difficult people can learn how to change this environment immediately.

Make Difficult People Disappear offers clear and concise advice, including:

  • How to give yourself permission to be who you are and accept others for who they are
  • Seeing the distinction between a difference and a difficulty
  • Understanding behavior differences and natural reactions to stress so you can implement a plan based on these differences to make any difficulty seemingly disappear
  • How to use the word "cancel" in your efforts to foster a more productive and cooperative environment at home and work

Let go of the idea that people are difficult and accept yourself and others with their own unique foibles, skills, and talents--but we all know that's easier said than done. With Make Difficult People Disappear, you'll find that you get more done, get along well with others, and receive appreciation for your efforts. In fact, you may also find that all those difficult people, with all of their seemingly frustrating differences, can actually help you become a better person.
