One of the leaders I look up to (and worked with really closely) used to say - I am playing hangman (with so and so). I often wondered what he meant. Eventually I realized...
Once you have determined that a team member (or your business partner) is set in his/her ways, it's ok to not coach them or try to save them. It's better to give them rope so they can "hang" themselves. In more eloquent terms - their ways are sometimes self destructive and you don't need to catch the falling knife.
