Working With and Managing Difficult People


Going into the station at the start of your shift may bring feelings of joy or misery merely based on the fact of whom you may be working with that day. Time and again we hear how a crew makes all the difference in the world when it comes to spending our day at the station. Whether you work in a busy station or one that only has a few runs a week, having to live with and/or manage troublemakers can make you miserable. Krause uses his real world experiences in dealing with “strong personalities” and outlines how using solid leadership principles you can get control back. From whiners to bullies to minimal performers, you will be given insight into how to manage these challenging co-workers effectively without losing your mind. It won’t be painless, but the results are well worth the effort.
