I'm not sure why. It is a simple matter. Eric does not like my personal style, he thinks I'm an arrogant SOB. He is somewhat correct, and I'm not going to change how I do business for him. His options are to get over it and accept that people with different personal styles can accomplish different things for an organization, or we will go our separate ways. I don't really have a problem with Eric, which is what's interesting about this situation. Eric has a problem with me. If you want a deeper psycho-managerial explanation, you will find it reading http://www.teams.org.uk/shaper.htm . I am a Shaper. Not sure what Eric is, although I have some guesses and he's definitely not a Shaper.
