I have been instructed to work with someone on a project where I have a great deal of experience and the other person has a great deal of "title". This person out ranks me in the corporation.

This brings me to my current situation. I was trying to explain a very simple file naming convention that is necessary to use the product I manage. This other person just could not get it. I repeated the process several times, until I realized that he was not trying to be obnoxious. I truely believe that he is just not capable (mentally) of grasping the concept.

I now have to come up with a way to help/educate him in the product from the level of a grade school education. I think that I have tamed my frustration, but this is going to be very difficult.

Has anyone else been in this situation?
