I heard from some friend who owns a retail clothing store that the hardest thing is you have to buy things for your store that you don't like. That sounds weird, but you never walk through a stored and love everything. As a buyer, you would have to buy some crap you don't like, and then see what sells.
The same goes for managers. I have never run into a manager who is universally loved by everyone. Sometimes, a manager connects with many of her people, but someone usually doesn't like the manager. That's just the way it is. If you are a manager, don't expect everyone to like you. Don't try. Its liberating!
If you are running a consulting organization, by the same token, you may need to hire people who you don't like. That person who is annoying to you is going to appeal to people you don't appeal to.
I don't know, its just a theory, but it makes sense.
