@PhilipKendall Right now there are times where I reach out to a member of my team where he has already contacted John about something and is now occupied. John doesn't necessarily undercut me, but advises them what to in a situation and they are now unavailable for tasks I need to assign them
@SouravGhosh John is the lead programmer on my team. He is extremely capable. He has been the project manager of the transition until recently and even members of other departments continue to communicate to him directly for fixing of bugs etc in the new system.
