Men in positions of power that they hold due to nonmerit reasons are often very insecure — and rightly so.

Depends on the person being outshone and on how the person outshining handles it.

It's the person and with me,, it has happened with both men and women. I have been purposely been left off meetings and projects, etc as "someone" feels I am a threat. Thank goodness I have an excellent manager now who is my biggest supporter. I do the same for people that report to me. I help them to obtain promotions, kudos and to shine whenever possible. One of the best things that can happen to me is when one of my team is promoted. You have to basically deal with the other people though. They are not confident and will eventually fall on their face (I have found) and when that happens you can smile.
