The nature of the world, and specifically the world of work, being what it is, sometimes you have to be with someone you don’t like. Right now, I’m thinking about the challenges of working with someone you don’t like.
“Don’t like” may be as simple as mild distaste or as extreme as despising. It may manifest as a mild discomfort or as actual physical symptoms like trembling or what feels like uncontrollable anger.
So how should I go about handling that? For me, it doesn’t happen often, but it does happen.
What I’m wondering is how you handle it, or suggest handling it.
Hopefully, I’ll get enough comments/responses to make this interesting, and to continue it into another post where I can summarize and think some more.
So how do you handle it? How do you handle the circumstances where you’re part of a team, and you just don’t like/don’t like to work with one of the other members of the team?
Is it different for an agile team than it is for some other kind of team?
Do you take action? Do you take it to someone else?
Okay – that’s it – no more hints or suggestions from me. Please share your thoughts.
