Yeah, I can understand the need to crackdown with a team and get them on the move but the dude's ego just shines out of his asshole. The dude needs to realize the difference between cracking down and being pretentious; felt like I was reading a scene from 'The Social Network' for a second.
one of the commenters nailed it - there are people who think these sorts of mind games are "inspirational leadership". some of them do succeed, and it's mostly because they have a really good team who see through them, shrug and decide to make a go of things anyway. the inspirational leadership is seen as merely another obstacle in the way of getting things done, which can be allowed for and worked around.
