Why are he doingsomething else that I call him to do
The boss explained the feature that the client wanted based on an email that he received from the client. Seeing that Chris was not paying attention, he offered to write down the main points of the feature. Chris, feeling confident, promptly turned down the boss' offer stating that he is listening and can remember the key points.
Once they were done with the meeting, Chris proceeded to leave the room. As he left the room, he had some self-doubt about the key feature that was to be added to the program. But because of his arrogance and his overconfidence, he recalled the key feature (incorrectly). After the recall, he was start assign work to his team member.(Types of conflict- This level refers to an internal dispute and involves only one individual.
