[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a staff attorney at a big law firm. As we all know, the market is highly competitive as is the environment at work. I am currently assigned to a huge case with another person. I feel like most of our interactions involve him trying to eek out the spot as the "boss" and it is creating a very stressful work situation for me because I don't want to be not perceived as a leader. For example, he is constantly trying to communicate with our partners without copying me (whereas I copy him on everything). The other frustrating thing is that I am more familiar with the substantive issues but he is better at the technology. In my mind this makes us a good team but I always feel like I'm about to get thrown under the bus. Do I complain about this to my partners or do I continue to seek a peaceful joint leadership scenario? How does one come out on top without being "that" person?[/quote]

Play back. Cut him out of emails etc.... Or be nice to your new boss[/quote]
