I have a really hard not reacting to how I am being treated. I do not care who it is...I will usually blow right back. If I am treated with respect then I will treat with respect. There have been times where I have blown off steam - and have to let that person know it's not them, I am just frustrated - thanks for listening - and I am sorry. If they do not want to listen they get to tell me to go away.
Also, managers have to realize why someone is reacting. Successful managers understand what makes you tick. Recognizing postive behavior gets you you everywhere with me!!!! I make it a habit to point out good things - even if I am not a big fan of a co-worker.
Cannot change anyone - only your reaction...it's really hard - I know!
