From Frozen Thoughts....

This is an extract from an article from Frozen Thoughts, which I thought would make an interesting read. 
Dominating Peer!

This is the most dreaded peer relationship. This type of professional is either highly intelligent, but aggressive or portrays a false confidence so as to not get exposed. She/he feels the only way to leadership is to dominate others. While he/she never misses an opportunity to find fault with others, she/he can never take criticism from others. Because of this dominant nature, over a period, people may not respect him/her though the work done is good!

   Internal Traits of a Dominating peer!

   Thinks attack is the best form of defence

   High caliber and efficient individually

   Believes in creating fear to gain respect

   Doesn’t empathize or respect others’ views

   Waits to magnify a problem

External Traits of a Dominating Peer!

 Though intelligent, not admired by others

 People don’t wish to work together with them

And........after reading it, what I feel is the best way to tackle these people is to just answer back with your "work". Let your work speak for you.....
