Ever work with a Credit Taker?

You know the type, the person who somehow ends up being praised for your hard work or ideas. Or maybe you’ve crossed paths with a Backchanneler, someone who stirs up side conversations that confuse, divide, or turn people against you.

Then there’s the Alarmist, who turns every hiccup into a five-alarm emergency and leaves the whole team, including you, exhausted.

And here’s a good one, the Shapeshifter, all agreement in one setting and an entirely different story in another.

Tapping into my years of experience, training and certifications in people behavior (DISC & EIQ) and project management, I wrote a book about these behaviors. It’s called People-Patterns in Project Management: How to Defuse the Behaviors that Derail Projects.

It’s written for project managers and for anyone responsible for overseeing and driving the work of others to successful outcomes.

Whether you lead teams, manage initiatives, or coordinate projects, you’ll recognize these people patterns and learn how to turn disruption into collaboration.

You’ll meet 35 archetypes like The Alarmist, The Credit Taker, The Divider, and The Backchanneler along with their healthy counterbalances, the Sentinel, Amplifier, Connector, and Catalyst.

If you know a project manager, team lead, or anyone who could benefit from these insights, please share this post or tag them below.

After years of coaching leaders and managing complex projects, I’ve seen one truth play out over and over again:

It’s not the plan that derails a project — it’s the people patterns.
