Who is the boss in your own team?

In one of my jobs, one team member consciously or unconsciously was playing the role of an expert; he wasn’t a team leader though. He was playing role by criticizing ideas of people instead of helping them which according to me doesn’t help.

I always wonder why do people show this attitude, do they have something special to offer?. In a company where there is a belief on team work, everyone has something special to offer and company should value these experience and expertise. If one of the team members is critical of others then help them with your knowledge instead of criticizing them. I don’t think so isolating yourself by acting superior will help, one of the rules of the team work is “Respect everyone as a person and value the different qualities of people on the team”.
