"Disagreeable givers, on the other hand, can be a pain in the ass, but valuable to an organization, Grant says."
The problem is this person doesn't exist. Most people that are constantly disagreeable are just bluster and talk and don't get anything done. Occasionally disagreeable is useful, though.
We never get anything done because everyone tells us how wrong we are all the time and the psycological toll is hard to manage. I get my best work done when I tell no one, just do the thing that I know needs done and then try to navigate the politics at the end to get it accepted.
