How would you deal with a problematic sponsor?

Some sponsors fall into categories like critical, unresourceful, absentee, and indecisive. Rather than change them we must know how to deal with them by opting following methodologies-

• Get to know them and their way of working.
• Show them your confidence, dedication, and competence.
• Understand their needs and acknowledge them.
• Build relationships with them but on a very light note.
• Avoid arguments and give compliments and praise.
