basic skill that we begin to learn in Kindergarten and it applies every bit as much to the workplace. The fact that you are the brightest, best qualified person in your department does not give you the license to be "superior" to everyone on your team - even if it is true. If you adopt that attitude, thinking you can "get away with it" based on your superior value and knowledge, think again. Having an attitude of superiority or entitlement is something skilled leaders and managers will tune-in to this right away, and this attribute is not considered positive or healthy for any organization.
If you truly are "better" (brighter, more experienced, and better skilled) then make that superiority an asset to your group. Choose to have the attitude of a coach, mentor, and leader. Contribute your expertise to others that may be struggling in those areas you have mastered. This will add value by reducing inefficiency, as well as demonstrating to management that you have fundamental leadership skills, which is key to advancement.
When you get these core skills right, communication truly is the workplace equalizer, a source of personal power that can propel you to greater heights in your career. And as always, remember to use your new-found power for good.
