Why is it that some people irk us and get in our way? Why is it so hard to “shake off" criticisms from our bosses, unwarranted competition from teammates, and annoyances from staff who are hard to manage? Relationship conflict at work is by far more stressful than task conflict. Yet, common advice about setting boundaries or ignoring doesn’t work at work. Moreover, AI is making “soft” people skills urgent and critical. Stacy unravels different ways relationships become challenging and what you can do right away to mitigate their negative impact on you.
