Might be worth giving more specifics. Does she or he have a capability you don�t? Are they brand new and don�t know what they don�t know? Or just arrogant? You sometimes need to let them fail so they realize their place. I find underworked people are the most likely to get arrogant and political.

Never an easy situation, but leverage their expertise and make it clear you�re going to make people aware of their accomplishments. They probably see you as destroying their autonomy and receiving a bit of a demotion of sorts, but that should pass if you prove your an asset and not a threat. Sometimes it takes time to smooth over some of the ruffled feathers and homeostasis will return. Focus on structuring the work and the delivery and it will sort itself out.

You’re FIRED! Don’t waste time trying to get them to respect you when it’s probably deep rooted issues that have been instilled in them from family and friends over many years. It’s not your role to fix that... or waste time on it... There’s too many good people who have respect that you can hire.

Most advisors are idiots, and a good licensed admin could know more than an advisor. Sorry but its true.

Sounds like the associate just doesn�t trust you. Work on demonstrating that you respect their input and want to make them shine.
