3 Steps To Handle Bossy Co-Workers

Hello,
Dominating colleagues can make your office time, a hell on earth.

They can seriously affect your productivity as their constant bossiness can disturb your peace of mind.

Such situations should be addressed early itself so that the person does not feel to boss over you always. If you let it wait then it will become a set pattern.

Here are the 3 steps to handle bossy co-workers without making the situation worse:

KEEP CALM, LOOK THEM IN EYES, and SMILE. That’s it :
This technique works most of the time because as you look in their eyes and Smile they get the feeling that something is wrong. As you are not reacting to their tone or words you get the control of the situation, not they.

ASK THEM QUESTIONS :
Bossy people are in some state of mind. Breakthrough that state of mind by asking them questions. My favorite question is, ” Can you please tell me EXACTLY what you want ? ” (Stress on the word EXACTLY.)
Most bossy people can’t tell EXACTLY what THEY WANT.
You are the WINNER as you knocked them OUT of the Bossy STATE.

NO IMMEDIATE REACTION :
If the co-worker is being bossy to make fun of you, then not reacting to them immediately, helps. SLOW reaction annoys bossy people but at the same time you are gaining the control of the situation.

GOLDEN RULE: 
You Can Control Your Emotions.
Others May Disturb But You Control.
Control the Situation, not People.
Choose to Be Happy Than RIGHT.

Keep in touch.

Be Unstoppable 👍🏻
