Preventing/Resolving Interoffice Conflict?

Posted by Cliff on Monday July 19, 2004 @07:37PM from the can't-we-all-just-get-along dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "I have an extremely unpleasant person to whom I directly report. I have no desire to leave my company until I've accomplished certain personal (read: financial) goals, but that will probably be, at the least, 12-30 months. In the meantime, I'd like to start resolving the personality clashes that me and this individual seem to constantly find ourselves in, with the hopes of perhaps extending my stay. Unfortunately, it's beyond my current mediating skills. Have you found any particular books, articles, texts, outlooks, or strategies which they have found valuable with respect to resolving personality conflicts in the workplace, or in a larger sense, mediating, arbitrating, or resolving disagreements?"

You wouldn't happen to be reporting directly to Steve Jobs, would you?

I completely disagree.
You're not even trying are you?
