Ever been around someone who's continually the "The Show". You know, the guy who always demands everyones attention. They're never satisfied with any position other than in front. I've worked with a few. They're not center stage because of their position or responsibility, but because they're obnoxious.
As an example, start talking about your situation with this person present and they've got a story that involves them- a long one- that isn't even related! They seem to have this innate ability to manipulate a conversation around themselves as if everyone should be as enthusiastic as they are about their story.
Their personality is toxic. They fear the "team" concept or any environment that emphasize the value of others. Obvious signs of their own insecurity. No matter how talented or valuable someone else might be, they're certain to find that person's shortcomings; while all along providing the weakest link.
For the sake of the whole, someone needs to shatter their glass house and let some fresh air in. Of course, it's always precarious when that someone just happens to be your boss! I mean, how do you politely articulate, "You're being an idiot, and your ruining the organization"? I'm sure you'll come up with something creative.
But as long as that person's left to themself, they'll continue having a negative impact. So...go head, let 'em smell what fresh air is like!
