  9. Strategies • Treat the person with respect. Use the golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” • Build a rapport. Re-instill the human touch by connecting with your colleagues and getting to know them as people. • Focus on what is actionable. Choose not to harp on what you cannot change, focus on the actionable steps that can be taken. • Be calm. Someone who is calm is seen as being in control, centered and more respectable. • Understand the person's intentions. There is always some underlying reason that is motivating a person’s behavior. • Let the person know where you are coming from.Let the person know your intentions behind what is being said, done, and/or sought. • Get some perspective from others. Seek out and listen to colleagues who have successfully interacted with the difficult person. • Trump Card! When all else fails, remain cordial and professional.
