How to Conquer Difficult People - Asserting Skills You have a problem, yet you are not certain how to handle the situation. What can you do? Always start with the problem by defining it, narrowing the problem down and then moving forward. You want to learn to use your asserting skills as you work toward confronting the situation, according being assertive will drive the point home.
You should always know your rights when dealing with difficult people. Knowing your rights will give you leverage. Once you have leverage to have a smooth ground to walk to while resolving the problem. Of course, you always want to be assertive when handling problems, get you want to dismiss aggression. Aggressive actions and words will get to nowhere but in more problems. That is sometimes this is true, while other times you may just have to use aggressive confrontations. Sometimes there's no way out.
While dealing with a difficult person don't be afraid to say no. Furthermore, if you're in the rights don't feel guilty at what time you do say no. as you confront the person make sure your posture is straight and look him/her in the eyes. If necessary, you can assertively reaffirm your requests or demands to be respected. In a clear fashion state your issues, demands and the like any clear, persisted, assertive manner without aggression, accusing, depending, and so on.
Now you can move onto using positive suggestions, such as I recognize and respect your decisions and choices, however, this is not something that I want to do, or will consider doing. I think you very much for considering me, yet now I wish to be left alone. You will need to make sure your voice is firm, speaking in harmony, in an assertive pitch, and full control. Finally, you can stand with your back straight, feet planted underground, readying to look away from the person, and then thank him/her again for listening to watch you have to say, and respecting your requests.
Most at times this strategy will work, providing you are not dealing with the Devils advocates. If someone is pressuring you after you use this strategy rethink the situation and ask for help of necessary. No one has the right to make you do what you don't want to do. If a person is a pressuring you, you will have to deal with it, otherwise the person won't go away.
My philosophy is if people are pushing, disrespectful, untrustworthy, irrational, and has the ability to cause ongoing difficulties for me, outside of the normal, the person is not welcome in my life. I prefer to hang out with intellectual people, since my job is intellectually based. Therefore, hangout with those better compatible with the type of person you are, so that you won't have problems.
If you work in your boss is over demanding, constantly pressuring you, belittling you, or making you feel inferior there are steps you can take to deal with the boss and conquer his behaviors. The first thing you need to know is that most people acting in such ways lack human mechanisms that make them a whole. In other words a dominate, person acting superior, or controlling person, is in fact, interior himself and trying to drag you into the problem so that he will have an excuse every time he needs an excuse. Now you know the problem. If, at all possible, try to avoid the person as much as you can, even though you got to work for this man. You can do this by continuing to do your job, do it right, and not give him or reason to approach you.
