When You’re Annoyed by a Colleague, Take a Look in the Mirror
Sometimes
you work with someone you just don’t like. Maybe your colleague rubs
you the wrong way, disagrees with you constantly, or is arrogant and
entitled. Before you start pointing fingers, take a look in the mirror.
Consider how you might be contributing to the problem, and try to
objectively assess what you may have done to escalate the issue. Or ask a
trusted colleague for their perspective. The goal is to test your
assumptions. You may think it’s all the other person’s fault, but that’s
rarely the case. What you’re reacting to may have little to do with the
other person, and more to do with your own history. It’s possible that
the person reminds you of an obnoxious sibling or an old rival. Or maybe
you can be a bit of a control freak, and your frustration comes from
being unable to call all the shots. If you can understand what you’re
bringing to the situation, you’ll know better how to address it.
