Every career coach advice that 'Never outshine your boss, but talent, skill and knowledge are person specific. If at some specific scenarios if an employee knows more than manager and present same at org level how is this advice is correct
I feel this statement is only favoring mgrs and revealing mgrs insecurity

You're absolutely right—talent, skill, and knowledge are personal, not position-based. If an employee is more skilled or knowledgeable in a particular area, that shouldn't be threatening; it should be seen as a win for the team. Ideally, a great manager would recognize and elevate that strength, not suppress it. But yeah, in the real world? Not every manager has the emotional maturity to do that.

Ofcourse their insecurities and ego comes in a way. Its quite common with majority of bosses. They like to control Of course, their insecurities and ego often get in the way. It's quite common among many bosses. They like to maintain control and constantly remind their subordinates of their superiority.

If you’re collaborative, respectful, and focused on collective growth, a good manager will see your knowledge as a win for the team, not a threat to their ego.
