How to deal with egoistic people…
How do you deal with people who think they are the best, live in their own world of fantasy?. If you try to say anything they would cut you out with a perfectly logical argument. If you keep quite they take you for granted. Â Some people just think they know everything right and wrong and there is nothing anyone can teach them.
I had come across one such person. He was not only egoistic but even an hypocrite. However in his mind he was doing everything right. He would surround himself with people who praise him, so that he can feed his ego more. Unfortunately he was a leader in many initiatives and projects. Which means that people have to work with him and there is no way around.
He would never go and raise any issue with his subordinates or peers in other groups, he would wait for people to come to him and start a dialogue. He would always find a best and logical explanation to a problem or situation without solving it.
When it comes to dealing with such people, you can give them any suggestions as he would rule it over with a better idea he has. Even if you do good work, he will try to find something missing and criticize you for that. If you are persistent in something , they get insecure and even angry or wild.  They want to be in complete control of the situation at any point of time. The moment they realize they are  out of control , they would switch off or get angry.
Dealing with such people is difficult and definitely not easy. However the situation is exciting, because if you can crack such a tough nut, you will be able to deal with many such difficult interactions in future.
