play the “blame” game.

aggressive in taunting you. Tell them you’re sorry. But
saying “sorry” is not enough. Tell them exactly what
you’re sorry for, and what exactly you’re going to do in
the future to avoid committing the same error.

Next time, I’ll schedule ahead of time to make sure that I’ll
never be delayed.”

tardiness has caused us to lose big money in this project,
and I’m really sorry. We’re only making things worse if
we focus on the consequences of what happened. Tell you
what…I’ll do my best to resolve this concern and ensure it
will never happen again.”

If you can quickly think of a solution, let them know
about it immediately so they’ll realize how serious you
are in improving the situation. If you can’t come up with
a solution, at least make them aware that you did your
best.Learning how to deal with difficult people doesn’t
take rocket science. Just say sorry, then tell them what
you’re sorry for and your proposed action to avoid the
same mistake from being made again.

If they go on blaming, make them realize that their action
will only make matters worse. Then exert all efforts to think
of an ideal solution to ease the current situation. By
applying these steps, converting difficult people to friends
is as easy as pie.
