I always pick my team. I pair up new people as assistants to various department heads. If I end up having to put a person with who I've never worked in charge of something that has to happen, I have a back up plan. Sometimes by back up plans have back up plans.
I'm pretty inclusive and I like to give opportunities to new people. with that said, I'm also quite pragmatic and understand that stuff happens. if stuff happens, I roll with it... find someone else or make a different plan.
My motto is always, if it doesn't happen, it doesn't need to happen.
I don't use people who are difficult to work with or who are disruptive to the team. I have a deeply held belief that everyone will find their own niche and their niche doesn't necessarily have to be anywhere near me. If I have an insistant difficult person, I will find someone who can gently and firmly direct them in a positive way. Part of that persons job will be to keep the away from me and to keep them from disrupting my flow.
i have to say, though, that I rarely have run into these kinds of issues. My special super powers are facilitation and praise. Put the right people in the right job. have a high level of expectation and make my expectations clear. Apply praise liberally.
(It goes without saying that acting like a grown up is part of my expectations.)
