Synopsis

?? The Truth About Conflict With Difficult People

I’ve discovered a SIMPLE way to deal with difficult people. It doesn’t require a massive conflict or confrontation. All you need is CLEAR EXPECTATIONS to see results! ??

Because, contrary to popular belief, conflict is the LAST step for successfully dealing with a difficult person. By clarifying or changing expectations and picking small battles without any surprises, the difficult people in your life will step up or step out with four weeks (without ANY one-off massive battles where everyone loses!). ??

If you’re thinking, “But I don’t have enough confidence to have conflict with this difficult person…”

I’ve created 3 stages to dealing with difficult people that you can start implementing right away:

? HOW CLEAR ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS? Remember when that person started in your organisation or came into your life? How clearly did you lay out your expectations for them? Most leaders only score a 5/10 in stage one which explains why you’re finding it so hard to deal with that difficult person!

? HAVE A CRUCIAL CONVERSATION TO RE-CLARIFY OR CHANGE EXPECTATIONS. You’re stressed about a big fallout conflict or confrontation where everyone loses. Forget that. Instead, I’ll show you how to have a crucial conversation where you re-clarify or change expectations so that everyone wins. By clarifying or changing expectations with the difficult person, you’re setting a foundation to keep them accountable for their behaviour moving forward.I’ll explain the other strategy AND everything else you need to know about dealing with difficult people even if you hate conflict in my new book, “STEP UP OR STEP OUT” ??

Sounds very simple 3 steps yet painful process as the author mentioned! A small book of 60 pages that I finished in 2hours of deep reading and brought lots of lightbulbs that I think would make a huge difference in dealing with difficult people at work ! Worth trying and possibly trusting the proces......more

Goodreads review by Molly Wiesner on April 25, 2025

Great book for leaders! If you don't like confrontation, this is the best method I've ever found for working with other people. It works both for managing up and down the value chain, although when going up you are clarifying expectations for yourself and not them. The process is virtually stress-free......more
