That “stubborn” colleague slowing everything down? They’re not blocking progress – they’re protecting the foundations.
Meet the Rock – Type 8 in The 9 Types of Difficult People
Rocks are the calm, steady figures who keep everything running smoothly… until change threatens the stability they’ve built. Their resistance isn’t negativity – it’s caution born from responsibility.
In this short video, I explain:
🎯 Why Rocks hold back when others want to move fast
🤝 How to earn their trust and turn them into allies
🏗 The leadership moves that make progress possible without breaking what already works.
You’ll learn how to lead through trust, not pressure – and how to build teams that balance safety with change.
From my book The 9 Types of Difficult People – helping leaders and teams turn challenging dynamics into great working relationships.
