Is there a medical term for?
A person who "manufactures" a crisis, and then becomes the "hero" by finding the solution for the engineered problem?
I have been working with a person who came into our place for about 3 months. Some small problems have arisen since this person came to work with us. These problems never happened before, and this person always seems to find the answer when no one else can. Well, I caught her yesterday, which just happened to be her final day of employment. She can't be fired now, since she has resigned, but I now know that she has been doing these things to make herself look better.
I was just wondering if there is a medical term for such a person? Is there a condition which causes people bring chaos into an environment, and then "solve the problem", making them look like "the hero of the day"? There just has to be a name for it. Any ideas?

There are some terms that come to mind. I'm not a psycologist but psuedologica fantastica is the term for compulsive lying.
What it sounds like is the opposite of self victimizing. Also like maunchausens but reversed. Good luck
