[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 639963, member: 14557"] It's sounds like she is one of those people, who, when ever a crisis of any kind impends, first throw a hissy fit and only after that maybe start to think about it. Some kind of panic/anxiety reaction. For many that kind of behavioural model does lessen when they grow older and get more experienced and more self confident, but if she is not looking to actually do some serious self development, that behavioural model will likely stick to some degree. And it doesn't really endear her to other people. I just had to deal with the similar, lucky for me much less explosive, hissy fit from someone I work with. Some protocols needed to be changed and I introduced her to new ways of doing something and she threw a hissy fit like I knew she would. First telling to my face, how this will not going to work, will make her work so much harder, how things will get mixed up and why on earth do TPTB always need to change everything when old system was working just fine. And now she is going behind my back telling everyone what a witchy boss I'm and how I don't understand anything about anything and especially about 'the real work' they do. She will calm down though after couple days and notice, that while slightly different (and more compatible with our data gathering system) the new thing is not any more time consuming nor worse than the old thing, but will just take couple days for her to learn to use smoothly. And hey, she can take this up everytime I'm trying to somehow meddle to her work for at least half a year ("I can't possibly have these done in time because that wretched protocol and reporting change you forced before Christmas, do you remember!" till next midsummer at least...) Ach, she is actually good, reliable and very experienced worker and we will have trouble finding someone to replace her when she retires in few years, but darn can she throw hissy fits. Well, anyway, I think you are spot on in how to deal with that throw a hissy fit first, think later-attitude. Not engaging and simply giving her simple facts about situation and letting her stew it over. She is a smart girl, she will adapt, when given bit time to think it over. [/QUOTE]
