I really like the idea of taking away the passion and personal hurt out of dealing with an exasperating employee. I've also found that listening is a skill that leaders can use with difficult employees. Oftentimes people behave negatively because they can. They depend on people not knowing why they behave the way they do to keep the behavior going. Once we defuse the behavior by listening to the person's story then they have to find other ways of behaving. It's almost like you give them permission to behave well rather than negatively.

However the other thing worked surprisingly too. It's more or less described in Jason's "Say nothing" article. It's enough to just be with this person to see the pros and cros and start really working together. It’s indeed a good way to change the perception on a exasperating person.

Cleansing the mind palate and applying business sense and a process forces us to step back to generate constructive and documented feedback. Thanks for the timely piece!
