How do you deal with the "NEGATIVE" member of the team?

It is very common that we find negative personalities in a team. 
Common Negative personalities: 
1. Recognition Seeker 
2. Topic Jumper 
3. Devil's Advocate 
4. Works as a standalone unit 
5. One do not reporting periodically 
6. Problem smoother/withdrawer 
7. 'I know all' types 
8. Gossip creator 
9. Aggressor 
10. Dominator 
..... 
A team member may/not have more than one problems listed above. 

Some times it may be temporary behavior or a reflection of his/her attitude. 
If it is a temporary one, we can heal the problem by chatting/mentoring. 

But it is reflection of the attitude, we have to reiterate the expectations from the member, have to create some check points and validate periodically. 

If there is a change in the situation, we can reiterate the process for couple of times and most of the times, the member will get onto the track. 

If not, at the last chance, after working with HR dept., we may have to get rid of the member. 

The reason is, we look for people with right aptitude and right attitude. 
Some times, we can compromise to the aptitude but not attitude. 
Aptitude can be trained. Not the attitude.
