Understanding and Managing Negativity in the Workplace.

Riepe, Linda

Child Care Information Exchange, n101 p61-64 Jan-Feb 1995

Offers advice on dealing with individual workers at childcare centers who whine, complain, and spread unsettling rumors. Suggests that coworkers resist the temptation to argue or immediately propose solutions to problems; accept the negative person as is; ask for "specific" objections to the ideas of others; and try to empower the negative person.
