Today someone asked me how you coach the "alpha geek/brilliant jerk" out of being that person. The answer ultimately boils down to two simple things: Have you really, truly, looked them in the eye and told them the problem? Do they want to change?
The whole "do they want to change" angle comes from the same irresponsible place that "they don't care enough to be good engineers like me" comes from. It's exactly the same disregard for others.

It’s really not. Someone who’s not a ‘good’ engineer but is humble and circumspect at least isn’t hurting my team’s morale like someone who is abrasive and disrespectful.

Firing people because you think it's all their fault is neither humble nor circumspect.
