Phenomenon alluded to by LG below:
"Hard to say. Depends on the motivation. With pathological narcissism, the goal is usually creating/preserving a
false image of one's self, to maintain the image that one is somehow better than most people. This is done so the
person doesn't have to face the deep down ugly feeling that they are somehow defective or unlovable, which is
intolerable.
If you were really trying to help your company or just trying to do your job this is one thing. But if it was done
out of a "i can do this so much better than these stupid people" kind of an attitude then, yeah, it's narcissism.
The motivation may also be a combination of both."
(terrific insight by LG)

LG's insights were in resonse to
a yahoo question "Was I a typical narcissist / office powerpath ? My job was to replace old systems by new.
I would replace new systems upon new systems as one by one they will fail.
In hindsight, 5 systems later, maybe the original was the best. But too much water would have gone down the bridge
by that time.Top management would support me in imposing a "new" horribly inefficient system to replace an existing better system.(used the terrific insights by QuiteNewHere)

GO AWAY and STOP posting these off-topic, meaningless workplace questions! This is NOT the forum for these. Do you even read these replies? Or are you just a posting bot?

Go pester the folks in "Business and Finance" section. At least your questions wouldn't be as off-topic there.
