In the last few months, I was the "take" - I began to get a lot of new people for me. I call them "Steve Jobs" (in quotes). This is a real pandemic. And here I would like to tell you how to deal with them and how to determine what is in front of you the next patient.
Sure the late Steve has done a lot for the industry, for users to change the very paradigm of IT and its products. Like any other genius, he acted with his authority and achievements is very detrimental to the immature minds and deeply suppressed their own "I", forced to imitate in the primitive sense of the actions. As a result, people have become sick - they feel Steve Jobs. Of course, groundless.
Signs of such patients:
- they do not listen to you, break off in mid-sentence;
- they believe that behaving provocatively - a necessary part of their image: feet on the table, the simulation of complete lack of interest;
- they believe possess a flair for the "right people" and immediately see the "brilliant food" - their background is talking about the opposite situation;
- their personal achievements much more modest merit of their model role model that gives them pain and they behave more like an idiot.
How to deal with them:
- best of all, of course, avoid meetings with them, if you recognize a "genius" who knows everything and you tell him to anything;
- it helps to ask: "You are under Steve mow or what?" - gives them a shock and the loss of an imaginary "charisma";
- More should ask an expert opinion "Steve" and if he will be substituted, it is easy to overcome.
It is unfortunate that people only see an imaginary - shocking, pathos and rudeness, but I did not realize that all of this - the wrapper, and inside - hellish work, sleepless nights, team work and a lot of mistakes.
Be smart and do not get sick.
