Scenario

When technical leads need to address behavior without management authority

My engineering team has one person who's technically brilliant but completely demoralizes everyone else with condescending behavior and I'm the tech lead but not their manager so I can't formally address it. The whole team's productivity is suffering but I don't know what authority I actually have here.

More people experience this than they realize.
