EPISODE THIRTY FOUR
Dealing with Negative People
SUMMARY
Negativity and negative people are a fact of life. We will all encounter them in our personal lives and professional roles. James Rule shares key steps for dealing with those people, ensuring you protect them, the organisational culture and performance and crucially your wellbeing as their leader.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
If somebody is negative over the long term then perhaps you need to consider how you limit your exposure to that individual.
When you encounter negative behaviour it is important to identify the root cause. Is there anything you can do to address it?
We need to put our ego to one side and not take negativity personally.
Imperative as the leader to move quickly from identifying the problem to talking about solutions.
Focussing on what we can control and solutions forces us to move from negativity to positivity.
Being a relentlessly positive leader is integral to reducing negative behaviour in your team.
