I experienced this a couple days ago but it crossed my mind afterwards that it might be something perfectly normal in their culture. Doesn't excuse it though, they should try to adopt to the social norms of the community that they are engaging in.

- the feeling that things are out of control combined with the feeling that people run in the wrong direction when not directed
- the arrogance to believe that they uh understand the business better than anybody else in the room

It is not fun.
Unfortunately past promotions may encourage this behavior rather than discourage it.

Usually the reason is some of all of your points.
I’ve got one particular colleague who is convinced that he knows everyone else’s jobs better then they themselves do, and sees it as his moral obligation to “help them” by pointing out what he thinks they should be doing.
