Life experience: Hi! I am smart...

"I know I am very smart! "

If someone you meet for the first time at work makes a statement like this, be prepared for challenges. While they may be right, it often signals a lack of emotional intelligence. This need to assert superiority, though it can be admirable, suggests they might struggle to connect with others. You’ll likely find that this person lacks the qualities that make a good leader. True leaders never flaunt their superiority; they inspire through humility and understanding."
