One of the fundamental rules of the incompocracy! (I believe it's in section 4, clause 23) "Never, never, under any circumstances hire anyone smarter than yourself". Clause 24 reads, in part, "When true technical competence is an absolute necessity, as in to forestall a departmental merger, or fix a total network failure - engage a contractor." The problem gets fixed, and there are no threatening competent personnel left lurking about. It's right there in the manual.
