（单词翻译:单击）

Who They Are: Headliner colleagues have egos¹ that are guaranteed to aggravate². They are arrogant³ status seekers convinced that everyone envies them.

How to Identify Them: The headliners are always interrupting at meetings and hijacking⁴ conversations. They are defensive⁵ when receiving feedback, and only interested in conversations highlighting them.

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.

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 generosity⁶ be reciprocated⁷ before you help with their next 'favor.' Once they realize that they cannot use you to get ahead, they will concentrate on distinguishing themselves technically⁸, so they can boast about their contributions to the project.
