“Anybody can work with simple and like-minded people. The superpower is when you can work with Difficult People who see the world differently.

Have you ever worked with someone you found to be a little… complicated?
Let’s be honest — you probably don’t have to think long.
Their name, their role, their quirks — it all comes to mind immediately. Maybe it’s someone on your team. Maybe it’s a referring dentist. Maybe it’s a patient who tests every ounce of your patience.
You’ve seen the friction they create. The tension in meetings. The miscommunication. The emotional drain. You’ve probably wished you could fix them, ignore them, or refer them out permanently.
But here’s the reality: You can’t avoid complicated people — not in your practice, and not in leadership. You have to work with them. And more often than not, you have to lead them.
(And no — switching jobs won’t solve it. There’s a complicated person waiting for you there, too.)
So the real question becomes: How do you collaborate with people who make work harder? Not just the challenging patients, but the picky, prickly, and passive-aggressive colleagues?
You need real strategies — not just to survive working with complicated people, but to lead well in spite of them.
Drawing from his global consulting experience with teams and leaders from the glitz of sports and entertainment to the number-crunching world of finance to the meticulous realms of insurance, pharma, and manufacturing, Ryan Leak provides proven strategies for…
Detoxing unrealistic expectations and getting comfortable with complicated
Learning to communicate effectively in complex environments
Embracing healthy disagreement as a tool to discover better solutions
Seeing challenging individuals as human beings to understand rather than problems to solve
Setting boundaries that let people into your world without letting them run your world
