How do you deal with someone with an inappropriately sized ego? Ah, a question for the ages. This is a good time to take a thorough inventory of your inner resources. Sometimes the best thing to do is laugh it off. If that proves impossible, try polite confrontation. If it's just too massive a roadblock, you might have to think about falling back or possibly retreating. Don't worry: by tomorrow that beastly ego should shrink back to a manageable size.
