Possible uncooperative employee

by cbv . Updated 20 years, 9 months ago

Hello everyone,

I’m quite new in the management sector so I’m wondering what measures should be taken in the following situation.
In our litle software company we have this guy who’s probably the best in the company, he’s also the oldest; he’s working by himself on this large application that is very important, the others are starting writing/porting code to this platform. The problem is that he is not very sociable, he’s using the latest coding methodology (he was left by himself to write the code) and nobody else besides him understands the code and architecture. His communication skills are not so good so it is very difficult to make him conduct a workshop regarding his code.
The bottom line is that we will have to make him document the code and the application otherwise we will have big problems, the thing is that we’ve tried already to get someone with him to understand the code but with no results. (the management is just starting here
So, any ideas ?

Thank you
