People management and team Management.

In certain scenarios, where all team members attitude is not exactly the same, during team Management, should candidates attitude be given top/high priority.

In this case Stakeholders Management and then Resources Management and Communication. However using a broad word like people is not valid in project management nowadays, properly "stakeholders" is the right term.

People management is not a valid project management. We can have project manager, or team manager.
I think there are 3 categories: Functional manager, Project Manager, and Team manager.
Functional manager which is the opposite of resource manager
Project manager is not a people manager but a project manager as the name says it. Team manager is a people manager which falls under resource management.

Perhaps I did not understand your question but if you are working in accordance to PMI proposed way what you have is project stakeholder management when you are considering people. Project resource management is about any type of resource.

if the team is compose of people, it should be the same ,
but at the same time is our job as team leader get the best out of each person, because at the end of the day each person is different.

Always we will have different attitude..

Anything to do with people comes under Resource Management, because they are resources. They are and can also be reflected in Communications Management and Stakeholder Engagement.

I interpreted the original question differently (perhaps incorrectly) as to ask which should take priority when managing the team - addressing different people's individual attitudes or treating everyone the same. If that was the question, it's a good one.

I try to deal with individual attitudes privately. Sometimes I will meet with certain team members to discuss an idea or decision before addressing it with the whole team - especially if I know they won't like it. When working together as a team, I try to project the expectation that we are all in this together.

And to further clarify the other comments...
Stakeholders include the team members, the PM, and anyone else working on the project, affected by it, or interested in it. It's a huge group, in most cases.
Resource Management focuses specifically on managing the project team as a whole and managing the individual team members - and in the 6th edition on managing non-human resources as well (like equipment, space, materials, etc). In Resource Management, the first three processes are about human and non-human resources. The next two are specific to human resources, and the last one is specific to non-human resources.
