Ahhh…your local expert on everything. You know this individual very well. He honestly believes that no matter what room he is in…he is the smartest man in that room on everything. Have a subject that you think he can’t handle? Ha! He laughs in the face of your stupidity with completely wrong facts and figures that he is going to convince you are real and true. There is no subject on this Earth that he can’t handle. This self proclaimed expert has the arrogance and ego that only a man of his stature can possess. Only a man as great as he has the right to think this highly of himself. How dare you question is reasoning or thoughts? Don’t you realize that you are at the bottom of the totem pole? This man is so good that he doesn’t need experience, knowledge or a brain cell to be right…he is just blessed with all knowing knowledge about everything!
The most dangerous part about these extremely talented and intelligent individuals is that…in most cases…they know a little bit about nothing. That’s right…these same people that believe they are the smartest people in every room…most likely…are the dumbest! They have zero experience, knowledge or results on anything they ever talk about! I truly believe that their ego and arrogance steps in and doesn’t let them ever be unknowing. These same people are making uneducated decisions in life and the workplace. Most likely…they are too proud to ever ask for help and if you even hint that they are doing it wrong or that they may need help…then they are on a mission to prove you wrong and incompetent in some other area to relieve the heat off themselves.
These “experts on the world” rarely complete tasks or come up with any idea that works. They will…however…steal your idea as their own and run to the first person they can find and take credit! How nice of them…now you can do all of the work still and they get the “great job” from the boss for coming up with such a fantastic idea!!!
So…what do we do with these self proclaimed experts in every field? Misinformation…
The quickest way to get any self proclaimed expert off your back is by using misinformation. You see…everything you tell these genius minds has to be played off as their own, so if you give them things like made up works, incorrect procedures or random untrue facts, they are going to play these ideas as their own and look like a complete idiot in the process! Will this stop their arrogance and ego? Hell no…but it will keep them off your back for awhile and give you a nice laugh when you hear your made up word come up in conversation. After all…they can’t blame you because they are the expert on everything!
