2. Encourage others to respectively tell the guy their feelings on the subject matter. If multiple people are saying the same thing, he is more likely to realize he is the problem.
3. Do things when they ask you nicely and do not do them if they ask rudely to encourage him to behave properly.
I agree w/ #3. I tried that. The first time I had contact w/ this guy, I simply thought he was "just doing his job." However, his tone of voice gives you the sense that he presumptuously expects you to acquiesce to him.

People on power trips usually feel they are better than you or somehow officially/unofficially in charge. Making them ask nicely for things and now bowing down when they are rude helps them realize they are not the alpha.
