Human Relations 6e
Don't Call Him Boss Lael and Waheid both work for a small software development firm. Both of them have strong rsums and both have about the same number the "years of experience" column. However, when Waheid was hired, Lael had objected strongly. When she was asked why, she said that Waheid was not qualified for the position. She believed that other applicants who were not hired would have been better in the position. Six months after Waheid was hired, the manager (Barbara) left to start her own company. As Barbara was leaving, Lael had demanded that it was to be clear that she would not take orders from Waheid. All three agreed. At first, things seemed calm and workable. After a month had gone by, however Waheid called a meeting of all seven members of the project team, which included Lael. As Lael saw things, Waheid was usurping power and "trying to run the place." At that meeting, Waheid reviewed everyone's job in detail. He also sent out e-mails, signing himself as project director. The new morning who had taken Barbara's place had not commented on Waheid's signature of her as project director. Waheid: Lael, you are all hung up on power issues. Heck, I don't want.power. I just want this team to operate efficiently. Just because I sign myself as project director doesn't mean I want to take things over. Lael: Get real. Just yesterday, two people referred to you as "the boss." And I've heard that from several others. Waheid: Notice that I didn't ask them to call me that. Lael: Well, you obviously didn't tell them not to, either. Waheid: I give up.
