How To Deal With Construction Know It Alls
If I was to ask you, do you know someone who knows
everything about the construction business, but realistically doesn't
know much? This type of person likes to get in your face and tell you
what you're doing wrong, even though they know very little about home
building. How can we deal with the construction know it all?
People that have high self-esteem aren't going to have a problem with
this type of person and understand where they're coming from. People who
suffer from ego reductionism and feel threatened by construction know it
alls, will often find themselves in combative situations, with these
particular individuals.
The best way to deal with construction know it alls is to leave them
alone. If you're working for someone who knows everything, but doesn't
have a clue about what's going on, but continues to pay you on a regular
basis without blaming you for everything, what are you worried about.
Don't let your ego interfere with their egos.
The bottom line with this type of person is that they feel like they are
being judged by everyone that looks at them. They need to make fun of
people and make them feel stupid, so that they look smarter. I have
worked for this type of person and worked with this type of person and I
can tell you one thing. You're not going to change them.
I have been extremely mean to these know it alls and this only makes
them fearful. I have been courteous and compassionate to them, only to
find them stabbing me in the back. Unless your going to learn about
psychology and the effects that these people have on society, I would
suggest that you avoid being combative and simply understand that these
people have low self-esteem.
Don't get caught up in their world.
