The job of any manager is how efficiently & effectively he handles people at work. It is a challenge as a manager to form coalitions of willing, eager, & ambitious people within the realm of your responsibility. Handling people at work is not always as easy as it looks like, more so when a manager has to handle difficult people. They can destabilize you if you cannot understand & handle them properly. Every difficult person in the form of a boss, colleague, subordinate, friend that you come in contact with is an opportunity for you to grow & develop into a stronger, more resilient - & more serene- manager.
