My situation is that we're two team-managers leading a team of 8 other guys. I've got a co-worker who is regularly condescending to everyone. When a question is posed to the team he shouts everyone down whilst he gets around to answering it.
When asked about his opinion on something, he is adamant about is opinion. But he is unable to give reasons even when the opposite viewpoint is proven to work.
He is regularly in the ear of the management team and all the teams we interface to.
My question is: How do I effectively succeed with a co-worker who is an obnoxious self-promoter?

"When a question is posed to the team he shouts everyone down whilst he gets around to answering it." - have you tried something like "Hey [name of the obnoxious self-promoter]. How about if we let the team answer, okay?"

In many situations you will find someone who gets an answer very quick, is totally confident - and totally wrong.

When proven wrong "Hey [name of the obnoxious self-promoter]. You've been proven wrong, again. Why don't you give it a rest?" Yes, that's kind of obnoxious as well, but you won't educate him with politeness.

When they stop say may I speak now. If they interrupt say I did not interrupt you and would like to finish.
