Getting Along: How to Work with Anyone (Even Difficult People) Hardcover – September 13, 2022
Purchase options and add-ons
Named one of "22 new books…that you should consider reading before the year is out" by Fortune
"This practical and empathetic guide to taking the high road is worth a look for workers lost in conflict." — Publisher's Weekly
A research-based, practical guide for how to handle difficult people at work.
Work relationships can be hard. The stress of dealing with difficult people dampens our creativity and productivity, degrades our ability to think clearly and make sound decisions, and causes us to disengage. We might lie awake at night worrying, withdraw from work, or react in ways we later regret—rolling our eyes in a meeting, snapping at colleagues, or staying silent when we should speak up.
Too often we grin and bear it as if we have no choice. Or throw up our hands because one-size-fits-all solutions haven't worked. But you can only endure so much thoughtless, irrational, or malicious behavior—there's your sanity to consider, and your career.
In Getting Along, workplace expert and Harvard Business Review podcast host Amy Gallo identifies eight familiar types of difficult coworkers—the insecure boss, the passive-aggressive peer, the know-it-all, the biased coworker, and others—and provides strategies tailored to dealing constructively with each one. She also shares principles that will help you turn things around, no matter who you're at odds with. Taking the high road isn't easy, but Gallo offers a crucial perspective on how work relationships really matter, as well as the compassion, encouragement, and tools you need to prevail—on your terms. She answers questions such as: Why can't I stop thinking about that nasty email?! What's behind my problem colleague's behavior? How can I fix things if they won't cooperate? I've tried everything—what now?
Full of relatable, sometimes cringe-worthy examples, the latest behavioral science research, and practical advice you can use right now, Getting Along is an indispensable guide to navigating your toughest relationships at work—and building interpersonal resilience in the process.

Amy writes in a wonderfully conversational style which makes such a research-backed book a pleasure to read. The stories are enlightening and engrossing, which is rare in a workplace book, where stories can feel like an afterthought.
I walked away with actionable advice on how to navigate workplace relationships and show up as a better leader, mentor and colleague. What I most appreciated was how in moments where you encounter people who are truly toxic, Amy gives you permission to distance yourself from people who do more harm than good. That, also, is such a smart and trauma-informed perspective vs. typical management reads that force you to keep trying to "make it work" even if you end up damaged and broken from each encounter.
Thank you, Amy, for this gift of a book! I have three copies for my home, office and team use and have bought several more as gifts. Go out and buy this book!!
