A proper orientation and competence are important factors. The speaker also addresses the question of dealing with a difficult spouse.

This 26th episode on A Step of Faith is titled Working with Difficult People. My name is Greg Alabi and I'm inviting you to come let us study the Bible together. A difficult person could be a spoiler if not well managed. A difficult person could have reasons why they behave that way. It is important to look into why that behavior. It is important to nip it at the bud before it spreads or infests other people. You do not want that kind of spirit or attitude when you just want to start up to take a step of faith to accomplish your goal. Now we'll listen to a man of God from Europe from Ireland in Europe who will be sharing some valuable lessons with us. Let us listen and learn together. Difficult and tense environment. A difficult person introduces toxicity that you do not really want around the office or anywhere else for that matter. So important is this subject that just as psychology has an IQ test, there is actually also a difficult person test. I came across that recently and I was surprised. A difficult person test so they know how important this is. Now as we go on we want to employ again the weapon of understanding. We bring that to the office now and I would like to start by saying that when it comes to an office issue some well-set and properly delivered questions could actually help a lot. So you are encountering this difficult person. You may want to begin to ask a few questions. Am I dealing with a square peg in a round hole? Am I dealing with a non team player? Am I dealing with someone who is not used to deadlines or working with targets or under pressure? Is this person even aware of what KPIs are and do they take it important and serious? Does this person lack a sense of responsibility? Did they actually get proper orientation? I will pause here to say very quickly that I was in a work environment sometime recently and the office actually took in some new recruits so haphazardly, so rushed that they knew next to nothing as to what they were there to do. We the senior ones had to come in and bail them out over and over again to the point we had to wonder what exactly are they doing there? So you want to ask did this person get a proper orientation or is he just winging it? Is he just floating and he doesn't really know what he's doing? Is he one of these people who feel overwhelmed because they've been promoted beyond competence? The list goes on and the answers to this will bring about a great and needed change in the work environment. Thank you. Wow, thank you so much Pastor Ola.
