Narcissists often enjoy putting others down, especially those they have power over. Retaliating rarely works. Here's a better way to respond.

New research shows how narcissism can infect an individual's personality when they're put in leadership positions.

It’s well known that narcissists desire to feel superior, particularly if they have the grandiose form of this trait. As a result, they can become easily threatened by someone they perceive as a foe when that foe seems to be winning. Suppose you’re in the crosshairs of such an individual. In that case, you know this can be a painful position to occupy, especially if that threat becomes translated into behavior intended to make you doubt yourself.

As the agreed-upon time approaches, you’re ready to go, but the group isn’t ready for you. The 15 minutes have become ten by the time you’re allowed into the meeting. Instead of welcoming you, the boss proclaims, “Please get to the point immediately as we are almost out of time.” There go your first five slides. Then, to your horror, you get the dire warning that the internet connection is “unstable,” followed by complete loss of the connection.
