Don't make the mistakes of confusing one's design sense with one's character. Sounds like this person may be a bit of a "big talker" but his design work doesn't support that. This is a flaw of immature designers who want to make it big. I've worked with/directed a bunch of "young hot shots" who are so busy talking the talking and spending less time walking the walk that their work suffers.
Perhaps you should have a chat with him about how he carries himself b/c it sounds like that is bothering you a bit more than the typical design sense of a young buck. Develop an analogy about "less being more" both as a designer and as an employee, can't have young bucks walking around fist bumping and whoop, whooping when their design is shite. It's your job, if you are his supervisor, to pull him aside as tell him that his demeanor is making him look/sound like a fool and focus on one project for a proper critique.
Or maybe you're just envious b/c a young buck has all this cheesy energy for design work and is a talker, I could see that too...
