Obstinate Ollie.
Ollie is a compulsive arguer. If someone suggests “eight” he will counter with “No, I believe it should be 12.” Don’t take it personally. Perhaps, he just likes to be a devil’s advocate.

The “Sams” of the world may need some extra effort but it’s vitally important that contribute to decisions that can have an impact on departmental or team performance.
