How To Deal With Difficult Colleagues

To deal with people who are grouchy, you can try to listen in a neutral position instead of complaining and contributing to such a vicious cycle.

For example, when he is complaining, you admit to nodding your head and make a neutral statement: "well, I am sorry to hear that."

Give him 2 minutes to complain about how bad everything is, and then move to the problem solving mode.

You can say, "your instrument is broken, it will make it difficult for you to do experiments. What are you going to do?" in short, we should gather more "positive energy" instead of endless complaints.

When dealing with a strong Hornet, the best way to deal with his rage is to do nothing.

In some cases, it's best to let him roar alone. You just have to keep calm and think about other things. When he is finished, he will go away.

Finally, look at your response when dealing with a "hard to get" person.

Are you defensive, angry, scared, or angry? Or can you ignore it? You need to interact with these people, mostly based on your confidence in your work.

It takes time to build confidence, but when you begin to accumulate more and more successful experiences and publish articles after another, other people's attitudes and behaviors are becoming less and less affected by you.

After all, you can't really change the behavior of another person. Ultimately, what you can do is change the way you deal with it.

Therefore, set up your own work goals and not be influenced by others.
