How do you deal with all of the dysfunctional people around you at work?

When you’re dealing with dysfunction daily, how do you cope with it? How do you get around all of the crazy?

Tip 1: Learn your temperament. (It takes a short time to invest and this investment will last a life-time.)

Tip 2: Learn the temperaments of all those around you.

Four fundamental types exist:

D -  Dominance (short-tempered, fast, and irritable 

I – Influence (enthusiastic, active, and social) 

S - Steadiness  (relaxed and peaceful) 

C - Conscientiousness(analytical, wise, and quiet) 

It would be awesome if people came with instructions. Each individual with an owner – manual. Right?  

But since we don’t  -  let’s invest by learning how we can best understand and work with each other.
