Joe has noticed some distance growing between himself and Kim Kahn, assistant manager for Tools and Hardware. Joe must interact with Kim on a frequent basis, since Joes team performs many functions that service Kims tool and hardware areas. Joe appreciates that Kim is an expert in the tool and hardware business. Yet, when Joe attempts to talk with Kim and learn more about the business, he feels that Kim is dismissive and even a little irritated. At times, Joe feels as though Kim is deliberately trying to make him feel stupid. Joe is also concerned with the way Kim interacts with employees. Kim is clearly not a people person. This would not bother Joe so much, except that Kim is often very gruff with Joes staff as well, causing them to feel confused and hurt. Joe is not certain if Kim intends to be so gruff or if that is simply Kims nature. Finally, Joe has become irritated with some less-than-subtle comments Kim has made during management meetings. Kim likes to talk in sarcastic terms about the way supervisors these days like to coddle their employees and do all that touchy-feely stuff. Kim says, Its too much education and not enough hard work. Thats what the problem is. Although Joe is not the only manager who has or is pursuing a college education, Joe has the distinct impression that Kim is referring to him. Joe decides to talk to Jim Talent about his concerns. Jim is not very sympathetic. Jim challenges Joe to solve the problem on his own by talking with Kim directly. And do it quickly, Jim says. Ive got a big project that I want the two of you to work on together
