strong personalities
People who dominate
Strong personalities are people with forceful, dominant temperaments who readily assert themselves and resist being swayed by others.
The phrase often appears in workplace contexts, sometimes as a euphemism for difficult or abrasive behavior: The team struggled because too many strong personalities clashed.
It can also be neutral or admiring: She has a strong personality—you always know where she stands.
