The whole situation sounds ridiculous and the advice given is just awful. A "team lead" should not be informing developers on the implementation details of their ticket. The developer had every right to protest. > If the individual is not a fit, then move him to another team that might have a different control style. This is so backwards I don't even know where to begin. It sounds like the advice is to break up a team just to show the developers "who's boss." I would never want to work for this person. They put their own ego and control freak issues over the stability and productivity of the team. Also, it's a super weaselly move that instead of just going to the developer in person and raising your concerns with him like a reasonable human, they used their corporate clout to bypass the issue and move him to another team. Is that acting like a leader?
