Narcissists believe they're unique and superior, while humble leaders know they're flawed.

How To Deal With A Narcissist: 5 Secrets Backed By Research - Barking Up The Wrong Tree
Narcissists
They have inflated views of themselves (they think they are better than they actually are).
They make fantastic first impressions. But the stuff that works for narcissists so well in the sho...
Don't deal with them
Narcissists lack empathy, they usually don’t work hard, and in a few weeks to a few months, they make the people around them miserable. And narcissism is very hard to change. So, if at all possible, just stay away.

Narcissism With Humility
Narcissism, it turns out, is not a one-dimensional personality and there are nuances in character and behaviour.
Humble narcissists, people who are egoistic but still able to admit mistakes, and leaders that are trainable, or are able to give other people credit, are a paradoxical but strong leadership package.
Narcissism: Strike A Balancing Act
Counterbalancing the narcissistic traits with humility is something that can be taken up by managers who believe they may fall in this category.
This can be done by:
- Finding someone to praise everyday.
- Admitting your limitations and mistakes.
- Being ‘teachable’ and learn from others.
- Trying to act humble..
