Staff Review:

Almost anyone at all can be deemed 'difficult' to us, to a certain degree at different juncture of our lives. Even we ourselves may appear 'difficult' to others as well. Well, identifying how one can be difficult is just the beginning of a 'want' to handling and dealing with others. We may complain that the other party is a slow worker, an arrogant foe, a cyber bully, a s*** stirrer, or an incessant complainer. Well, absolutely - some people are just so full of themselves! Wouldn't you agree? Look in the mirror, how are you difficult to others?

So, what do we do then? Do we just turn the blind eye, or confront people upfront? Or neither?

Well, let's take an example. Supposedly, I have identified that an aquaintance is a chronic procrastinor. The book describes such a person as one who is defensive, sensitive and would give 101 excuses for delays. Apparently, such people need to coerced and deceptively convinced that they would have to play 'catch-up' with the rest of the team. They cannot accept straight-on criticism (which happens to be my forte). I've tried though, with tips such as helping 'the person see that with a little bit of organization, the project need no feel so impossible' or give simple little 'praises'.

Maybe, procrastination isn't the only problem then? I should read the rest of the book now.
