Sometimes people learn passive-aggressiveness in response to being invalidated, ignored, or shut down. Consider this next time you're dealing with a teammate driving you bonkers with passive-aggressive behavior. And don't forget to let me know in the comments if you're dealing with a situation like this.

My book on using productive conflict to get your team and organization back on track: https://www.lianedavey.com/goodfight/ About me: I've never climbed Mount Everest (and never will). So far, I've never been in space. I don't even have an Olympic gold medal (although I did win the Grade 9 Phys Ed award). But the prize for solving the most difficult team challenges is named after me (no, not really, but someday it probably will be). For the past 25 years, I've researched and advised teams on how to achieve high performance. Known as the “teamwork doctor,” I've worked with teams from the frontlines to the boardroom, across a variety of industries, and around the globe from Boston to Bangkok. In working with hundreds of teams, including 26 Global Fortune 500 companies (and counting), I've developed a unique perspective on the challenges that teams face – and how to solve them. https://www.lianedavey.com/about/ Connect with me: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lianedavey/ https://www.lianedavey.com #psychology #management #leadership
