Is it bad to be a diva?

Divas, by definition, are high-performing, high-maintenance narcissists. Some are needy, demanding, negative—and talk almost incessantly about themselves. Researchers say these are "unhealthy divas" and the source of their narcissism usually is low self-esteem: They are constantly trying to pump themselves up.

How do I deal with a diva at work?

Never stand around arguing with a diva. Make your point once, clarify if necessary, and move on. A difficult employee may get a rise out of seeing you lose your cool, so stay calm and positive. If you need to, walk away from the situation and come back once you've regained your composure.
