Description: Getting AlongBy Amy Gallo Getting Along: A Practical Guide to Handling Difficult People at WorkWorkplace relationships can often be challenging, causing stress and impacting our creativity, productivity, and overall well-being. Dealing with difficult people can be particularly draining, leading to a degradation of our ability to think clearly, make sound decisions, and engage effectively in our work. We may find ourselves lying awake at night, worrying about these interactions, withdrawing from our work, or reacting in ways that we later regret, such as rolling our eyes in a meeting, snapping at colleagues, or remaining silent when we should speak up.In her book, "Getting Along," workplace expert and Harvard Business Review podcast host, Amy Gallo, offers a research-based and practical guide for handling difficult people at work. Gallo recognizes that one-size-fits-all solutions rarely work and provides strategies tailored to dealing constructively with eight familiar types of difficult coworkers. These include the insecure boss, the passive-aggressive peer, the know-it-all, the biased coworker, and others. By understanding the underlying dynamics of these challenging relationships, Gallo equips readers with the tools they need to navigate these interactions successfully.Gallo emphasizes the importance of taking the high road, even when faced with difficult individuals. While it may not be easy, she highlights the significance of work relationships and their impact on our sanity and career. By addressing the challenges head-on, Gallo encourages readers to consider their own well-being and offers compassionate guidance to help them prevail on their own terms.Throughout the book, Gallo shares relatable examples that may make readers cringe, but also provide valuable insights into the complexities of workplace dynamics. Drawing on the latest behavioral science research, she combines theory with practical advice that readers can implement immediately. By incorporating principles of emotional intelligence, giving and receiving feedback, time management, and leadership, Gallo provides a comprehensive approach to building interpersonal resilience.In addition to addressing specific types of difficult coworkers, Gallo also answers common questions that arise in these situations. For example, she explores why we can't stop thinking about a nasty email, delves into the motivations behind a problem colleague's behavior, and offers strategies for fixing the situation when the other person is uncooperative. Gallo acknowledges that navigating difficult relationships can be challenging, but she provides readers with the necessary tools and guidance to overcome these obstacles.As a contributing editor at Harvard Business Review, Gallo brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her writing. She is also the author of the HBR Guide to Dealing with Conflict and a cohost of HBR's Women at Work podcast.
