A self-absorbed manager will eventually fail to deliver. Build a team, do great work and it will eventually become quite clear that you are the architect of that success.

If you then choose to leave, you will be ready to lead your own team.

I see what you are saying but at high tier companies, everyone is too smart to fail. He is very effective at covering his ass and being consistent to balance out his failures as a manager.
