When someone knowing more than you feels like a threat

Someone on my team clearly knows more than me about the thing we're deciding, and instead of feeling grateful I feel cornered. I catch myself talking over them, protecting my ground. Their knowledge should be a gift, but it lands like a challenge to whether I should be the one in charge.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

When someone knows more than you, it feels like a threat instead of a help.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
