A few observations here on this article:
1. You should always control your emotions in a professional setting.
2. Public belittling is never a good thing.
3. Frequently the embattled and overloaded “guru” has been poorly managed to the point where they are pushing burnout.
4. Useful quote from this article “It’s sad that Rick descended this far. His manager shares this responsibility.” Absolutely correct that some management intervention could have turned Rick in another direction.
See someone on your team like this? Take a 2nd look at the circumstances and don’t be so quick to write them of as a madcap you avoid. However, if your team lets this go on for far too long, re-organizing the team may be one of the few options that are left.
