Among the hardest employees to manage are those who are constantly defiant, defensive or stubborn. They love to oppose for the sake of it. They may even shy away from authentic feedback or constructive debate. One way that talent management experts have deduced to steer past these problems, is to only assign tasks to such people, in which they are genuinely good at. The profile needs to be limited to a specific domain. Another tactic would be to overlook individual styles, at least temporarily, especially when the person is adjusting to some new circumstances. Occasionally, the management would also need to be magnanimous enough to concede these guys may have got it right. Ultimately, one needs to know where to draw the line.
