You might be the difficult coworker others complain about, even if you don’t realize it.
Alina Doran Think of someone at work who drives you crazy, who exaggerates their contributions, takes credit for other people’s work, or someone who always finds a reason to resist a new idea. Or the one who tries to control everything and micromanages. That difficult person who makes everything harder than it needs to be. Got them? Yeah. Here’s what none of us want to hear. Someone might be thinking this very thought about you right now. You might be someone’s difficult person and neither of you can see it. We walk around thinking we have self-awareness. We think we know how we show up, how we land, how people experience us, but we don’t.
