How to Deal With a Co-Worker Who Acts Like Your Boss

October 25

Gain a better understanding of how to deal with a bossy, know-it-all co-worker in a professional and respectful manner.

Sound familiar? You are working with someone on a project and suddenly, they start taking over. They are setting agendas, timelines, providing feedback, assigning tasks, taking on the role of a boss that was not assigned to them. Or you have a team member who knows how things should be done and has no problem telling you how you should be doing your work. Whether you have found yourself in that situation, are managing someone who comes to you with that feedback, or get reports of that behavior in the company, this webinar will help you know how to handle a situation when someone is acting like the boss when they are not. Through thoughtful conversation and real examples, we will dig into why we have struggles with people we work with, how to address those concerns and reset the relationship moving forward.

Learning Objectives

  • You will be able to describe different working styles and how that might be feeding into your concerns about someone acting like your boss.
  • You will be able to discuss your concerns with someone who is acting like your boss.
  • You will be able to identify the causes of why this situation might be occurring.
  • You will be able to recognize the need for a feedback conversation and how to lead that respectfully.
