1. Give myself time and then speak to them about the differences.

2. First of all, I will look for their view on each issues and ask their opinion and solution.

3. I try my best to put myself in the shoes of the difficult person, trying to see why the behave the way they do, and hopefully find ways to mitigate the effects of them being difficult. Otherwise, this exercises allows me to emphasize with my fellow human beings.

4. I deal with difficult people by looking at things in their point of view to try to get the task done. Also I will offer suggestions but in the end its about getting the job done.

5. I try to stand in their shoes to figure what makes these people difficult to deal with. Sometimes maybe it is just that I do not understand where they are coming from an perceived them as difficult to deal with.

6. People are not necessarily difficult.

7. It depends on the situation. The first question is do I really need to deal with him. If yes then how important is this interaction for me. If it is very important then I try to listen more and speak less. If he is my immediate boss then I would try to figure out what he wants done from me. I would work hard to deliver. If he is just an acquaintance, I wold prefer to go through the interaction without getting very deep into it.

8. It depends who the person is. If it is my boss, I try my best to understand the way the person thinks in order to be better prepared to handle my situations.

9. I am very warm and I try to see where others are coming from. Putting myself in other peoples' shoes makes it much easier to relate and connect with people who may often be labeled as "difficult"

10. I deal with difficult people by trying to understand their frustration and I try to empathise with them. I also allow time to pass as it may diffuse tension.
