We are constantly being put to the test by trying circumstances and difficult people and problems not necessarily of our own making.
– Terry Brooks
This week I wrote an Employee Advocate column for The Daily Muse that resonated with a number of readers.
It was inspired by one of the most difficult, negative co-workers I have ever had. And if you have ever worked with negative types of co-workers, you should give it a look too.
Bud Bilanich, a well-credentialed career success coach in Denver commented:
“This is by far the best advice on how to deal with negative people that I’ve ever seen. Thank you for publishing this article.”
Why, thank you Bud!
In short, if you’ve worked with Bad News Bears, Gossip Mongers, Drama Kings & Queens, Chicken Littles, or Victims, and if you’ve been at a loss for how to deal, this article is for you.
Unfortunately, it won’t give you instructions on how to change those folks.
But it WILL give you insight on how to lead from where you are and focus on what you do. And that’s where your empowerment lies.

Be sure to check out the comments at the end too. Often they can be so interesting.
When you deal with negative people by focusing on your actions, you are working The Positive Shift!
