In this concise YouTube short, speaker Shanli Liu, CPA, CTP, offers practical advice for managing individuals with strong personalities. She explains that such people thrive on showcasing their strength, often dominating conversations. The recommended approach is to reframe their traits as valuable assets by explicitly acknowledging their determination and assigning them clear, purposeful tasks (e.g., X, Y, Z). By making the strong‑person feel wanted, seen, and useful, their assertiveness is channeled productively toward the project, turning a potential conflict into a collaborative advantage.

How to handle a strong personality. Strong personalities, like strong people, love to show off how strong they are. That's why they're always pushing and pulling the conversation. Now to get that to stop, all you have to do is make them feel that their personality is an asset. And you do that by making them feel wanted and making them feel useful. It can sound as simple as, I think everybody here recognizes your determination on this project, and where I'd like to see that is X, Y, and Z. Now they feel seen, they feel valued, and you, you've now leveraged their strong personality against the task at hand. And that's how to deal with a strong personality. So try that and follow me.
