Dealing with Overconfidence at Work

Don't Try to Change Minds, Choose Solutions Instead

I was once trying to change the mind of the person who always thinks he is the best in the team.

DON'T TRY TO CHANGE THE MIND OF ONES WHO THINK THEY ARE THE BEST!

It's useless and wasting your time. Instead of attempting to change their mindset, consider one of the following solutions based on your relationship with the person:

If the person is your manager/boss:

Solution: "Stay" 💼

• Seek clarity in expectations and responsibilities. 🤔

• Provide regular reports to keep them informed. 📊

• Don't go showing off for no reason. 🚫

Solution: "Quit" 🚪

• If the situation doesn't improve, consider resigning. 😓

• Explore opportunities to change teams within the organization. 🔄

If the person is your direct report:

Solution: "Stay" 🚀

• Assign them difficult tasks to bring out their best. 💪

• Challenge them to grow professionally. 🌱

• Acknowledge and give credit when they successfully deliver tasks. 🏆

Solution: "Quit" 🔥

• If performance issues persist, consider terminating their employment. ❌

• Explore the possibility of transferring them to another team. 🔄

Remember, focusing on constructive actions rather than attempting to change their mindset directly can lead to more effective outcomes. 🌟
