Her work is gradually transformed, from a managerial position to an operational position (answer the phone, secretarial work...). She wants to keep her former work tasks and responsibilities. To worsen the problem, Juan remains in its position and don't want to hear about that. So the problem is how both will find a suitable place at work.

At the end he should have been more authoritarian to propose solutions, plan a training session to break routine and help them to work together and manage stress. Show that it is possible. Explain that other team accept the change and succeed to work effectively together.
