Conflicts happen in the workplace, it is inevitable. The key is to remember that you are a professional (even if the other person is not). You never have a right to yell, swear at or be rude to your boss/coworker/customer. Stay calm and remember that a soft answer turns away wrath.

Try to listen to the other persons point of view. They may be yelling but what they are saying still is valid. Apologize for your part in the situation (every problem has two sides even if they are 99% wrong). This will allow you to disarm them and begin working on a solution.

After the situation, after they are gone, write down as much detail as you can including quotes. This will help if the situation happens again or if you need to report it.

Most conflicts are small and should be worked out between the two of you. Don't let things fester and build.

If you hear a coworker telling a visitor wrong information how do you handle it?

If the coworker is your boss or somehow superior to you in rank, then do not correct them in front of the visitor. I myself have gotten in trouble for doing that myself and have learned my lesson. If it is a coworker that has the same authority that you do, then unassertively suggest the correct answer. For example say, "Joe, I believe that it's...." or "Are you sure? I thought you had to...." If the coworker is still adamant in his or her information, don't push it because it would be unprofessional to bicker and fight in front of a customer/visitor. Either wait for that person to walk away and discuss it and maybe you can chase them down if its that important, or discuss it with your superior if you think the coworker is being stubborn about issues like this.


How do you educate your boss that a coworker is a narcissist and the way they are handling his issues only encourages him and makes him worse?

You don't. Mind your own business. If they want help, no doubt they will consult an expert. Instructing your boss will, more likely than not, cause problems for you, not the other person.
