S3 Episode 10 - Navigating Office Personalities

Radical Respect a book by Kim Scott

Kim and Wesley welcome Amy Gallo the author of "Getting Along: How to Work with Anyone (Even Difficult People)". They all tell stories about working with someone especially difficult and what they learned from these situations. They also review some of the archetypes from Amy's book: the know-it-all, the tormentor, the political operator, the insecure boss.. to name a few. Amy discusses how to navigate these situations, even when to salvage something valuable when there is quite a bit of power asymmetry and leaving is not an immediate option.
