Its amazing how one new individual added to a team can start to disolve the well understood relationships within.  This is happening at work, and unfortuntely, I don’t think I can work with the result.  We’ve added a new manager for one are of our department, and he seems to be too intent on playing the role of “manager” than being a team member.

The approach is quite remenicent of isolationism than anything else I’ve seen recently, and is really rubbing a number of other groups the wrong way.  Too bad, because he has the ability to shape his group in a whole new way, but I don’t know if he’s going in the right direction yet.  He sure pissed me off – ’nuff said (for now).
