That Person

Do you know anyone who has a vast effect on a situation?

Is there anyone who you encounter who when he walks into a room, he sucks the life out of it?

The body language of everyone in the room lets out a collective groan when this person walks in ... Perhaps nobody makes a sound, but everyone can tell what everyone thinks.

This might happen occasionally in a social setting, but what happens when it's a professional setting? How do you approach the situation?

Usually, "that person" is someone who things mostly about himself with little regard for the feelings of anyone else. That person is the one who talks about his experiences as if they are the only that matter. When someone wants to share information, that person shuts them down or shares a "bigger" story.

It's always frustrating ... when that person shows up and runs the show ....
