LIFE TIPS: Smart People Deal with People They Don’t Like


WORLD is not perfect, whenever we try to make to be, IT WON’T BE PERFECT! Living in this hectic crazy world, sometimes it makes us meet people making this life getting crazier and crazier.  According to Robert Sutton (a professor of management science at Stanford University), it’s neither possible — nor even ideal — to build a team comprised entirely of people you’d invite to a backyard barbecue.

That’s why smart people make the most out of people they don’t like. How do they do it? Here’s how they do it.

  1. Accept that they are not going to like everyone.
  2. Bear with (not ignore or dismiss) those they don’t like.
  3. Treat those they don’t like with civility.
  4. Check their own expectations.
  5. Turn inwards and focus on themselves.
  6. Pause and take a deep breath.
  7. Voice their own needs.
  8. Allow space between them.
