The Headliners
以自我為中心型的同事

Who They Are: Headliner colleagues have egos that are guaranteed to aggravate. They are arrogant status seekers convinced that everyone envies them.
他們是何許人也：以自我為中心型同事總是自我感覺良好。他們是驕傲自大的求職者，覺得別人都在嫉妒他們。

How to Identify Them: The headliners are always interrupting at meetings and hijacking conversations. They are defensive when receiving feedback, and only interested in conversations highlighting them.
如何判斷誰是以自我為中心型的同事：以自我為中心型的同事總是隨意打斷別人的會議和談話。他們在收到別人對自己的反饋時，總是存有戒心，只對那些以他們為中心的對話感興趣。

What to Watch Out For: Headliners don’t choose friends. They target people to exploit, people they believe can elevate their status. They are manipulators only interested in how you can service their ambition. Headliners will step on anyone to get ahead.
要注意的問題：以自我為中心的人不會真心實意地交朋友。他們會選擇那些有可利用價值的，能夠幫他們提升地位的人。他們只對你能為實現他的野心付出多少感興趣。以自我為中心的人會踩著別人往上爬。

How to Protect Yourself: Manage your relationship with the headliner by saying no to most requests that are outside of your job description, and require that your generosity be reciprocated before you help with their next ‘favor.’ Once they realize that they cannot use you to get ahead, they will concentrate on distinguishing themselves technically, so they can boast about their contributions to the project.
如何保護自己：處理好你和以自我為中心型的同事的關系，對你工作之外的大部分要求，要勇于和他說不，在你下一次幫助他之前，要確保你的付出能夠得到回報。一旦他們意識到他們不能利用你晉升，他們就想法設法表現出自己的技能卓越，盡量把對項目的貢獻都歸功于自己。
