The 7 Habits of Highly Overrated People - DaedTech

The title of this article caught my eye. Dietrich combines an array of experiences and highlights the patterns that he has seen "highly overrated" people exhibit.

1. “Overcommunicate”
2. Be Bossy and Critical
3. Shamelessly Self Promote
4. Distract with Arguments about Minutiae
5. Time It So You Look Good (Or Everyone Else Looks Bad)
6. Plan Excuses Ahead of Time
7. Take Credit in Non-Disprovable Ways

Many of these things would be easy to spot, but a good read particularly for managers to keep an eye out for some practices that are meant to mislead and obfuscate.
