Hans Brandt

"The viewer is placed in the position of the leader of a software development team that has been successful in creating new products. ... Six months ago, the leader's company acquired the U.S. subsidiary of a German software manufacturer. As part of integrating the two companies, Hans Brandt, a German software engineer ... was assigned to the leader's team. Technically brilliant, he has proposed an innovative project idea that the leader's superiors have just agreed to fund. When the team leader tells Hans of the company's decision, Hans takes that occasion to announce that due to the demands of the new project he will not be attending staff meetings any longer."--Clearinghouse web site.
