Manager tried to change, but the team did not. The plans were carried out to modify the work procedure and every other thing which can create a happy go round working process.

But till the day came, everything was finished. The outcome which i could see was that team started dis-beleiving the manager which lead to such behavior.

A mean attitude only comes when the people around you are/or have become mean or the person is a born mean.

How can a manager of 20 team members become mean in carrying out everything by himself, and can a person do this individually and that too at perfection?
Such things happen rare and such situations required a combined team effort to pull out things and carry the work in an healthy environment.

What will you say?
