There are individuals that perceive project managers as mere bureaucrats (paper pushers). These stakeholders can be in a supporting role to the project - not a big deal - but also in the core team (or even the sponsor!).
Have you experienced this? How did you handle the situation? Saving Changes...

So the approach of making them understand the value of the project and of the PM is that while you are trying to do this they remain unsupportive and the potential that they negate this value exists.
People support what they feel part of. How do you make them feel part of something? Ownership. If they understand what their part in the project is and that their participation will contribute to its success then they feel like they own some of it. They also need to know and understand What Is In It For Them. Saving Changes...
I think somebody should come up with a way to breed a very large shrimp. That way, you could ride him, then, after you camped at night, you could eat him. How about it, science?
