How do you handle a subordinate who you don't like but you need?

be professional... personal issues should not be included on work area,,,individual differences needs to be respected...be open minded and take turns ... just respect each other opinions and do what you think is right as long as you know how to stand for it.

It enabled me to deal with it with order and respect and to do the work required of me
