Talk and clear the differences. Don't wait for things to go worse. Initiating this might be hard but the end result will be the best.

WAIT & WATCH BEFORE SHOWING ANY PREMATURE REACTION

idea posted by PS Dhingra CEO & Vigilance & Transformation Management Consultant, Dhingra Group of Management & Educational Consultants

If you can't stand a person, particularly when he is from your own project, keep some cool, don't react immediately to clarify your position prematurely and with half facts. JUST WAIT & WATCH FOR THE VIEWS OF OTHER FELLOWS ALSO to consolidate the issue and tackle the problem once for all instead of clarifying your position severally in piece meals.

It may be possible that majority of other fellows may stand in your support.

I remember an event when long ago during my service period, out of grudge, one of my subordinates relating to S/C community complained against me as I had to change his portfolio due to his corrupt practices, and tried to make that an issue of caste.

BUT, to my surprise, not even from my own unit, but also from other units of the organization, several of the S/C community fellows stood in my favor condemning his move without my making any effort to clarify my position or to approach to some one. Not only the management of the organization, but also the Commission was also said to have been satisfied with my position.

Mr. Suryanarayan Murthy is correct in his views. the opponent sometimes realizes his mistake himself and becomes a staunch supporter at his own after that.

Identify the Need & Value

idea posted by Virendar Koul National Manager - Professional Services

May be you need to ask yourself a question, what this individual means in your life professionally or personally. i.e. I mean to say, what is that he brings to you as an individual and do you feel that it is worth the relationship professionally or personally. Once this basic fundamental is clear, you could take appropriate steps by drawing clear lines between you and that individual and that way lot of things will fall in place and secondly, I feel there is bigger role of maturity over here and it is how you exhibit while conduct. Even after your good approach and understanding things don't work, then you should leave it to time and keep on doing your good things and one day nature will play its role to make him think and realize that he is doing wrong and he may change and sometimes unfortunately, people don't even realize that and they die just like that in the quest..In that case, you shouldn't feel bad, as you had put in your good efforts in making a change, but it didn't work....so, it is now in his destiny whether it will bring some after impact....changing the man towards good. That is all.... These are 2 cents...

Trust begets trust... A friendly gesture will be remembered..though one may not accept it publicly.. befriend your enemy.. all the problems are solved.. even if there is no role for him to play, you don't lose anything..

Forget & forgive is the best way

Trace the root of the problem

idea posted by Shobhitha Unikkat Senior Consultant, Aon Hewitt
In a situation like this, I would say that "not being able to stand a person" may be your own problem. The person in question may not even be aware that you cant stand him. It would be helpful to identify the root of the problem (that is, why he bothers you so much). If it was some incident that was not fair play, it would help to address it and sort out issues. If it is an issue with the latter's bad attitude, its better to keep work relations professional and be assertive when you feel you are being pushed around.

Revel in Conflict

idea posted by S. Muralidharan Executive Director, Knowledge Foundation & Campus Around the Corner
In general, we become too emotional! Thats not our problem, as we live in a very accommodative environment - people give due respect to one's sentiments, etc. is a major cause of worry! If we learn to revel in conflict, we should be able to win over any situation. A person could have been harsh with you in a particular situation; one should take it in that context only and should not brand him / her as a rival or an adversary! If we carry prejudice to our work place about individuals, its difficult to maintain equilibrium! Learn to unwind your mind about individuals and accept them as they are!

Keep Your Cool

idea posted by Tina acharya Officer-Team Leader,ICICI Bank
I had similar experience in one of my working life.There was a colleague who was always in opposing and unnecessarily in blaming tone with me.I tried to talk but in vein.I became emotional and reacted.My manager was testing my patience as I was the team lead.When It was out of my control I burst out.Then my manager handled the situation and later advised me to keep myself cool.Today when I remember this incident I realize that "keep your cool" is one of the best solution to many office issues as well as to the above one.It is one of the best interpersonal skill.

formal vs informal

idea posted by Amol Joglekar Senior Partner, VPR & Associates
Everyone has to understand the meaning of 'formal' versus 'informal' organisation. When it comes to 'formal' organisation, individual choices like caste, race, colour, gender etc. need not play any role at all. One has to be devoid of emotions in 'formal' organisations.

Respect him

idea posted by Suryanarayan Murthy Free lancer
Discussing the matters will not help. I have encountered such people. Only way is make friendship with him. Respect his views/opinions (though you are averse to it) Over a period of time, he will become your disciple. It worked and it works. Trust me, the results will be fantastic..

Develop the moral, social aspects of individuals

idea posted by neha singh Content Editor, Avestia Corp
Competition in India is so high, that it has led to higher standards in education. Great. But we see that as we grow, and study, our morals decline pathetically. That means we have not been educated at all. Counselling, and providing support to separatists is the only way out. Repeated assertion of how to live to be a good individual should be reinforced in the students' minds.
