How to deal with Childish Adults

Ideally, everyone would behave in a calm, rational, adult manner at work. But unfortunately, some people just never grow up completely. Childish behaviour can be one of the most destructive and disruptive influences on office relationships and can reduce productivity dramatically.

If you have to deal with immature bosses, co-workers, or employees, APA can offer some suggestions on to help keep your sanity while all abot you are losing theirs.

Do you have to handle temper tantrums, gossips and storytellers, people not playing nicely and keeping hold of their ‘toys’, people who crave attention or have work-based, ‘sibling’ rivalries or sulks, cry-babies and cliques? If you do one of the lastest postings in the APA Knowledge Zone is offering you a quick guide on how to handle them for maximum effect.

If you do have difficulties please let us know, there may be something we can do to help.
