The Worst Coworker on the Block: Can YOU Work with Difficult People? Yes, You Can!
Session Chair(s)

The life science industry is dominated by teams. High-performing teams create a dynamic where innovation and productivity flourish. They respect and amplify the talents of the individual. Put simply: they get more done. However, even the most motivated teams can have challenging team members and, possibly, be derailed by those individuals. With candor (and humor), this session will outline specific extreme team member personalities (archetypes) that can disrupt a project or process. Small groups will focus on strategies for keeping cool, obtaining information, and maintaining team rapport with their challenging team member. Attendees will be encouraged to share their examples and solutions within their small group and then the larger audience. This will be an interactive session for attendees at all levels.
