You have elegantly described the types of difficult employees managers and business owners have to deal with. It is not easy to deal with them and firing them right away may not be an option for everyone.

I recommend 4-step approach to deal with various categories of difficult employees 1) Communicate 2) Coax 3) Confront and 4) Kick out. You should try reconciliatory approach and confront only after they do not work resulting in eventual firing.

Thanks for the feedback. Your right, we all face difficult personalities. The first step is to understand and acknowledge why they exist and what it means to create a meaningful and productive environment. Glad you found the article worthwhile.

One reason dealing with "difficult" people is a challenge is that you can't "fix" something that's perceived as a character flaw, whether it's ego or laziness or stubbornness or selfishness or anything else. But you can work on correcting disruptive or negative behavior and that can be well worthwhile.
