It's on hold, and I think there may be something in there worth saving, but not without a heavy edit. I have an idea, but I don't know how much help I could do with an edit.
Is this one a lost cause or can it be saved with some edits?

The only way I can see is to significantly reign in the scope of the question. Currently it wants a single method that works every time in every scenario... That is not how people work.
First the OP needs to define what Productive and Successful means to them. If the OP just wants the problem child to just churn out more widgets that solution is vastly different to the one where the OP wants to change the problem child so that they no longer have their obnoxious habits. As are some other options in the middle.
Second How can I change someone elses behavior questions just do not work here. They tend to be discussions and people post answers and get comments like I have already tried this and it didnt work... then the response well try again differently... Oh I had this problem too we tried X but it didnt work... 5 single line answers of things to try with no explanation... etc
These type of questions work on Reddit, 4chan, and Forums but not on a site like this where we focus on quality answers not guesses and discussions.
After all the edits, the OP still needs to define self-obsessed, self-absorbed and entitled. These are all labels (conclusions, interpretations), no actual things happening in time and space, so we have no idea what we are actually addressing.
I at least want to see some actual examples, in my book the question is 'unclear what yuou are asking'.
There is an answer talking about people who think too highly of themselves, but is that the same as self-obsessed, self-absorbed and entitled?
No need, it already has a perfectly suitable answer, taking it off hold will not garner it a better one.
