  3. "Transfer or dismissal" If there is no improvement, it is also necessary to consider a last resort, transfer or dismissal, to maintain the health of the organization.

 

to avoid becoming a brilliant jerk

    People with high abilities are often expected by those around them, and they have spent their days under pressure to meet those expectations. As a result, they tend to be fixated on achieving results, neglecting relationships, and believing that their opinions are always correct.

    • Objectively recognize not only your strengths but also your weaknesses and make efforts to improve.
    • Listen carefully to what the other person has to say and practice conveying your opinions in an easy-to-understand manner.
    • Cultivate cooperation and empathy and contribute as a member of a team.
    • Respect the people around you and actively incorporate the opinions of others as well as your own.
    • Continue to grow by continuing to learn new knowledge and skills.

     

    summary

    Success in an organization is not just individual performance, but teamwork through overall harmony and cooperation.

    Brilliant jerks may seem to contribute from their superior capabilities in the short term, but can be found early because they risk hindering the growth of the entire organization in the long term. Addressing them properly is key.
