The Party-Time Performer -- the employee who, although great with people, constantly turns work-time into fun-time
I've Got a Problem -- employees whose work is compromised by any of a range of personal demons, from drug and alcohol problems to emotional issues
Author Gini Graham Scott's advice springs largely from common sense, acknowledging there isn't just one way to handle a difficult worker. For any manger or supervisor looking for tips on effectively managing troublesome workers, look no further than A Survival Guide to Managing Employees from Hell.
