The remedy is completely up to him. I am always calm and polite with him. He can chose to behave the same way or go back to being a holy terror. Either way, this is another item in the paper trail.

The reason I chose to bring this up now is that it is becoming increasingly clear that my current team lead is leaving. I'd be the logical choice to replace her. While I can avoid this guy mostly right now, it would be more difficult when I am responsible for assigning him work and making sure he gets it done on time. The way things are now, I would either demand that an outside person be brought in to lead the team or one of us leave it. It would not function with his current behavior as he'd be likely to view every assignment as punishment and every deadline as a way to make me look bad.
