I find that folks that just keep their mouths shut, do their jobs quietly, competently and correctly are far better to have on your team than the loudmouth know-it-all.

Bonus is that when the former does open their mouth you know you should be paying attention.

I think they call it "quiet competence".

    All too common I've seen those loudmouths promoted, and the quiet competent are then talked down to about something they know far more about. Then they leave.

    Middle management doesn't understand a skillset unless someone tells them directly they are skilled, it's a culture of failure.
