Overview
A friend who has gained a lot of professional authority is letting that 'boss attitude' leak into his or her personal life, and this could be bruising some egos in your circle of friends. If your ego is one of them, let this pal know what's going on -- in a friendly, supportive way, of course. Try humor when you explain the dangers of 'getting too big for one's britches.' There's a place for hierarchies, but it is most certainly not in a group of friends.
