Learning to Communicate With Difficult Co-Workers

Difficult co-workers can be a challenge to deal with, but there are ways to communicate with them effectively. Changing your mindset to view them as an opportunity to learn and grow rather than a constant pain is a helpful first step. Evaluating your own reactions and considering whether you may be overreacting can help you approach the situation more objectively. Finally, approaching the difficult co-worker in a private and non-confrontational way, using "I" statements to express your feelings and concerns, can lead to a more productive conversation.
