Handling talented but difficult people
In any team, it is typical to have one person who moves faster than the others and one who always lags behind. This usually causes no harm to team performance unless the "faster" one tends to take control even if he or she is not an official leader of the team. On the other hand, it will be troublesome if there are too many slow movers.
The situation described above can be seen in every kind of organisation. In today's "soft culture" climate, with its high degree of tolerance, people tend to seek compromise and hope such situations will resolve themselves. Unfortunately, the reality is that there will always be difficult people in any organisation.
Generally speaking, there are two types of difficult person. The first shows high potential with high intelligence and ability to do things, while the second is not capable in any specific area but tends not to cooperate with others. Both need to be carefully monitored by their direct supervisors and, in some cases, their supervisors' superiors.
