Most managers can name three difficult employees on their team. There are thirty. Email [email protected] and I will send you a brief, pricing, and available dates within 48 hours. I am Jonno White. Leadership consultant, Certified Working Genius Facilitator, and author of Step Up Or Step Out, which has sold over 10,000 copies globally. Every leader has a mental shortlist of the people on their team who are hard to lead. It is usually three names. Sometimes four. The blog I just published names thirty. The Passive Aggressive. The Bully. The Grump. The Lovable Sloth, the one Patrick Lencioni named, who is humble and likeable and emotionally intelligent and still missing every deadline. The Yes Person, the easiest one to manage and the most dangerous, because agreement without commitment is the thing that costs you the most later. The Argumentative one who prides themselves on saying what they really think, while everyone else in the room stops saying anything at all. The two faces of toxic: one who knows exactly what they are doing, and one who has no idea. If you can name the type, you can lead them. That is the whole point of the guide. Most teams have at least four difficult employees right now. Some of them you have already named. Some of them you have not, because the pattern is not obvious yet. The point of the post is not to label people. It is to give you language.
