How to Work With a Narcissist

Narcissists don’t have the telltale signs of a crazy person. 

They’re not sitting at coffee shops writing manifestos on napkins in an illegible scrawl, shouting about aliens. They are often charming, talented, attractive people who have a natural allure to them. 

A narcissist in the workplace can work wonders at times. 

They can be great motivators and group leaders, with a flair for inspiring others. …until they lose interest or something doesn’t go their way. To cope… 

• Manage your own ego and your expectations! 
• Manage your need to win, to prove yourself right. 
• Recognize you may walk away feeling crazy, as narcissists are expert argument manipulators and logic twisters. 
• Pick your battles. 

Seeking an apology is a fruitless endeavor. Don’t expect them to come around to your point of view when in conflict with them. Learn how to heal yourself.
