职场中应提防的6类同事及应对之策

The Headliners
以自我为中心型的同事

Who They Are: Headliner colleagues have egos that are guaranteed to aggravate. They are arrogant status seekers convinced that everyone envies them.
他们是何许人也：以自我为中心型同事总是自我感觉良好。他们是骄傲自大的求职者，觉得别人都在嫉妒他们。

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.
如何判断谁是以自我为中心型的同事：以自我为中心型的同事总是随意打断别人的会议和谈话。他们在收到别人对自己的反馈时，总是存有戒心，只对那些以他们为中心的对话感兴趣。

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.
要注意的问题：以自我为中心的人不会真心实意地交朋友。他们会选择那些有可利用价值的，能够帮他们提升地位的人。他们只对你能为实现他的野心付出多少感兴趣。以自我为中心的人会踩着别人往上爬。

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.
如何保护自己：处理好你和以自我为中心型的同事的关系，对你工作之外的大部分要求，要勇于和他说不，在你下一次帮助他之前，要确保你的付出能够得到回报。一旦他们意识到他们不能利用你晋升，他们就想法设法表现出自己的技能卓越，尽量把对项目的贡献都归功于自己。
