  Pre-determined roles

  There's a chinese phrase that people mistakenly call "fate," but it really means pre-determination (usually not by the deities.)
  That's hard to overcome when trying to adapt to others at work.

  RE: Working around Personality Clashes

  I think it is important to take a step back and look at how the behavior and feelings are impacting the organization. If the behavior completely disregards the overall good of the organization, the clash is a struggle for power. I see a struggle for power a much more serious issue than a personality clash that is based upon a different set of perceived values. Individuals seeking power will have a negative impact on themselves, as well as other productive non-argumentative personalities within the organization. This can hinder employee faith and cause the more self-sacrificing employees to think they will never be recognized or appreciated in this environment.

  Out of synch with current thinking on Emotional IQ (author - Daniel
  Goleman) and legislation in many states around bullying, often
  described as a personality clash (see Dr. Namie). The point of view
  expressed flies in the face of many excellent articles on how to keep
  and motivate employees and ways to handle conflict.
