Non-ProZ.com Nov 4, 2003:
Me parece que hay un malentendido con la palabra "exigido", no se refiere a una persona que es muy solicitada sino a una persona que le exigen mucho los dem�s, lo presionan para que mejore y rinda m�s, etc.
Non-ProZ.com Nov 4, 2003:
pero me parece que exigido no es lo mismo que called for quiere decir que la gente exige mucho de �l, se siente presionado por las exigencias de los dem�s y �l a su vez exige a los dem�s

demanded and demanding

This provides both the senses that you talk about and at the same time retains the lexical relationship between the two words, if style is of importance here. Keeps it simple and intriguing.

highly regarded and hard to please

I wonder whether this would not be too long anyway, in the event you consider this may work in your context.

Cheerio,
