This has been my experience as well, it boils down to them mostly being unheard, which causes frustration which can manifest itself as us-vs-them. Taking the time and hearing them out, and like you did, just working with them and hearing them helps a ton. I can count the number of actual jerks I’ve crossed paths with in my career on less than four fingers over nearly 20 years. The other “jerks” just need a little peace, love and understanding.

I too think that real jerkish behavior is rare, versus needing to apply soft skills to a person who has a need that isn’t being met. But when a real one is in a team, I think it’s a serious enough event to warrant consideration of the topic.
