The challenge is you can’t count on having the team of your dreams. At some point in your career, you’re going to have to manage people you find challenging.
Embrace those situations and see them as opportunities to improve your own management and leadership skills.

To help speed your time to success, May Busch gives you 5 questions to answer that will unlock the solutions to managing difficult people.
