Managing the Unmanageable: Lead difficult employees without losing control

Every leader encounters that employee. The one who challenges authority, resists feedback, stirs drama, or simply refuses to get on board. Whether it's passive-aggressive behavior, defensiveness, or full-on defiance, unmanageable employees can derail productivity, morale, and team trust—if not handled swiftly and strategically.

This 60-minute session is built for experienced leaders and high-potential managers who want to stop walking on eggshells and start leading with confidence. You’ll learn how to take back control of your leadership presence, approach tough personalities with clarity, and address performance and behavioral issues head-on—without losing your cool or your credibility.

You won’t walk away with sugar-coated solutions. You’ll get real leadership tools that work in high-pressure situations, backed by accountability and emotional intelligence.
