During their life, everyone meets people who for some reason don't suit them and the workplace is no exception. We can usually handle unpleasant colleagues without problems but what should you do, as a manager, when managing someone you simply can't stand?
First of all, remember that this is a fairly common situation. To solve it, you have to start by making sure you understand why in fact you dislike the person. There are basically two possibilities: the reasons are either work-related or personal.
Managers will usually dislike a subordinate's attitude to work rather than their personality as a whole. Sometimes, however, there is a real conflict of very different personalities and the problem develops on the personal level.
In both cases, it can be helpful to change your thinking and admit that mutual liking is not a prerequisite for successful cooperation.
