| Nov 19, 2015 at 22:53 | comment | added | Private Questioner | I realise now that this question is difficult one to answer because strangers on the Internet don't exactly know me or the company. I will seek to have a more official structure put in place. If that puts me as lead, great, if not then at least everyone knows their place. | |

I don't know you. But understand your coworker is in the same place I am - he doesn't know. Someone will listen to you because they are foolish and listen to everyone, they are told to listen to you, or you have built enough cred with the person that they believe in what you say. Good news is that this guy isn't so foolish to listen to everyone. | |

This guy is not listening to the make-believe lead. If someone told you this that has a real job title I would make sure they announce this. If they don't, then they either don't trust you as lead or were just telling you crap in the first place (maybe to make you feel good). | |

There's not a lot of official titles in the company but rather more unofficial roles. When it boils down to it, I have been unofficially the lead developer on this project for quite some time. | |
