It's a behavior exhibited by both genders.  Pseudo experts.  They know what OTHERS have written about the subject, but have never done it themselves.

These types are gunning for management, executive, or C-suite roles where they need to translate "geek speak" into "decision speak".  This is a very useful skill in both government and corporate leadership.  Those who need to make decisions don't need to know HOW to do something; rather, they just need to understand sufficiently to determine whether it's in the best interests of the organization to take a particular risk, invest in a project/technology, or expand into a new business area.

Be careful with this type of person.  S/he may be a narcissist and ultimately your boss one day.[/quote]

Op here. I probably wouldn’t mind him as a boss. He’d be better than most management around here I imagine. It’s just such a strange trait. He just seems oddly fixated on presenting as the expert in our area. He will skip work and meetings to run off to present at any event that will have him. [/quote]
