(OP)
Haven't read it, but there was a review on the radio this morning, and I thought some people here might find it useful.
Jerks at Work: How to Deal with People Problems and Problem People by Ken Lloyd
At least for now it's at Amazon.com at http://tinyurl.com/asvfk
Links from that page led to the following books which I also have not read but I liked the titles, particularly the first one:
Since Strangling Isn't an Option by Sandra A. Crowe
Coping with Difficult People by Robert M. Branson, PhD (who Amazon calls "Robert M. PhD Branson", but that's another story)

If someone refuses to compromise for the sake of principle or quality they are often considered stubborn and rude. It just may be that they are right.
On the flip side dealing with hackers and slackers who have no motivation or skill or common sense and try to make themselves look good by taking credit for everything that goes right (done by someone else) and explaining away everything that goes wrong is like trying to wrestle a pig.
