Overview/Description
This content is replaced by the course "How to Work with Aggressive People", Course ID: comm_04_a2_bs_enus Have you ever had one of those absolutely great days at work? Everything is going the way it should, you're on schedule, and you're getting to meetings on time. Then someone verbally attacks you or metaphorically stabs you in the back. Aggressive people are arguably the most difficult type of people to work with. Hostile-aggressives openly antagonize people; passive-aggressives work behind the scenes with hidden agendas. No matter which type of aggressive behavior you have to deal with, you've got your work cut out for you. That's where this course comes in handy. It details the characteristics of the six most common types of aggressive people and provides effective ways you can cope with their behaviors.
