Ever feel like someone at work just rubs you the wrong way?
It’s normal. But here’s the thing:
You don’t need to like them — you just need to work with them.
Here are 5 smart ways to collaborate even when personalities clash.
1. Focus on outcomes, not emotions
Don’t focus on the person — focus on the goal.
→ Keep asking: “What are we trying to achieve?”
2. Build systems, not vibes

Personal preferences clash.
→ Use structure: clear roles, deadlines, formats, and expectations.
3. Create a “shared enemy”
Instead of facing each other, face the challenge together.
→ “Let’s make sure the client’s happy” is more unifying than “I don’t like how they work.”
4. Always show basic respect

Even if you don’t like them — greet, thank, confirm.
→ You don’t need to bond. You just need the job to flow.
5. Stop trying to get along
You don’t have to become friends.
→ Business is about progress, not friendship. And that’s totally OK.
