Sheema and Hala both work for a Alosaimi groups in the marketing division. The general manager of thesales team interviewed and hired Sheema because of her experience and agreeable personality. Hala was interviewed by another sales leader but strongly opposed hiring her for the workbecause he thought she was not competent to do the job because she was fresher andfriendly/talkative.
Six months after Sheema was hired, the manager left the company to start his own company andrecommended that Sheema and Hala serve as joint leaders. Sheema agreed reluctantly with thedemanded that it be made clear she was not working for Hala. The manager consented: Sheema and Hala were to share the same working area and have to work on the same project.
Within a week Sheema was angry because Hala was representing herself to others as the leaderof the entire project and giving the impression that Sheema was working for her. Now Sheema and Hala are meeting with the manager to see if he can resolve the conflict between them.
Sheema says: Right after the joint leadership arrangement was reached with the manager, Hala called a meeting with other team members without even consulting me about the time or content.She just told me when it was being helped and said I should be there. At the meeting, Hala reviewed everyone's duties line by line including mine treating me asjust another team memberworking for her. She sends out a letter and signs herself as team lead,which implies to others thatI am working for him.
Hala says: Sheema is all hung up with feelings of power and titles. Just because I sign myself as team doesn't mean she is working for me. I don't see anything to get excited about. Whatdifference does it make/ She is too sensitive about everything.I call a meeting and right away shethinks I'm trying to run everything. Sheema has other things to do, other projects to run. So, shedoesn't pay too much attention to this one. She mostly lets things slide. But when I take theinitiative to set up a meeting, she starts jumping up and down about how I am trying to make herwork for me.
