Dealing with difficult people can make life impossible. The workplace is inhabited by a wide variety of people and it can sometimes be difficult to get on with them as well as get on with your work. However by understanding difficult people and the things they do, the problematic situations and awkward issues can be resolved.

A practical, accessible book, it is essential reading for managers looking to improve performance, sales people looking to win more business and for anyone who has to deal with difficult colleagues or the public.
