Nah, this was the sort of guy who decided to leave the team (not midori this was years later in a different org) and then figures it's okay to act like a jerk on the way out the door. Some (junior) engineer on another team made a bad suggestion. Wasn't enough to say no, he had to tear a strip off him. To the point the manager of the other team asked if they could talk about it (he refused).

Guy was passionate and smart and just a lousy leader.

Okay, I guess I'm talking about the culture on the team as I experienced it, and culture definitely comes from the top in this case. I'm sure that some individuals behaved differently in other environments.
