“ The reality is you're going to work with people you don't like, it's inevitable. But you always have a choice. You can let those relationships drain your energy. You can let them impact your reputation and how you're seen by your boss, or you can be strategic about how you navigate them.”

In this episode, I talk about the complicated yet unavoidable times when you need to work with someone you don’t like or trust. I share five things that will help you better navigate these tricky situations so you can maintain a positive leadership presence.

These tips will go a long way in helping you “not take the bait” and maintain perspective and composure when dealing with people you’d prefer not to interact with at all.
