I have been meaning to query the list why no one has responded to this
statement, but then Don responded, and I feel better.
I would love to hear from other managers how they feel and how they work
with people they do not care for. We all have people we get along with
extremely well, and others that we do not at all enjoy being around. The
latter, in my experience, are very difficult to mentor. I find it hard to
work up the energy, but in addition, we have so many differences in values
and ways of approaching life, that I simply find it difficult to relate to
them.
