If that someone is a manager: To ensure that it is not just my subjective perception, I would check with other project leaders (PL) to see if they also have noticed that the manager’s moody disposition is creating an unwelcoming workplace environment. If the other PLs agree, I would then meet with my team to discuss general workplace satisfaction topics, to see if a team member uses the opportunity to share what he or she has observed in the workplace – that may pertain to the manager. If a team member comments that he or she has noticed what may be considered erratic behavior by the manager (without me raising the topic), it would potentially be a sign that the manager’s disposition may be having a negative impact on the organization as a whole.
Afterwards, I would request to meet one-on-one with the manager to discuss what I (and other members of the organization) have observed pertaining to the situation, to see if it is a professional or personal issue. If professional, I would discuss what can be done so we, the team, the organization, can help make for a better workplace environment. If it is personal, I would state that I hope things work out and let me know how the organization can help. However, personal or professional, if one individual continues to create an unwelcoming workplace environment for myself and my team -I would elevate the issue to higher management if it is not resolved. Employees are entitled to have a bad day or times when they may not appear so
How serious or relevant is the problem to the work environment? To you, the individual involved? Again, is it important enough and worth tackling? Less serious work-related problems might include minor inconveniences and annoyances in the work environment, such as supplies required are out of stock, the copy machine wasn't refilled with paper, and so on. Often these types of problems can be easily addressed by communicating concerns with the individual involved. Sometimes minor inconveniences and annoyances are brushed aside and ignored -- and sometimes should be. Work-related

First piece of advice I would offer would be to calm down and let’s make a rational decision. How long as the problem been occurring and are there any plans of action to improve the employee? If not, then I would suggest a warning or correction needs to take place. In some cases, a verbal counseling might be the better way to go. This is a great way to talk about, attendance, communication and other behavioral issues. It appears that it could be an emotional feeling that management is feeling, because of the statement that was made about the employee. It is important for that proper documentation is provided and is there any chances that the employee is salvageable. Often time, there can be training implemented that allows management to correct the problem without termination taking place.

Bipolar employees who exhibit manic symptoms within the work place may appear to have an excessive eagerness to take on numerous new tasks. Employees in a manic episode may feel they are capable of any undertaking. Thus, they may pressure superiors to for assignments which they are unqualified, offer advice to coworkers despite little knowledge of the topic area, or take on far too many assignments at one time (Montejano, Goetzel,Ozminkowski 2005). During a manic episode, people are usually overly talkative and their speech may be louder and more rapid than usual. They may also experience distractibility that could be noticed in the work place as an inability to focus on a conversation or work-related task. Racing thoughts, which are characteristic of mania, may be manifested by frequent and sudden changes in topics of conversation, something referred to as flight ideas.
I would try to have a consensus between the two of us and also suggest that we have a team meeting within the department to address the internal friction and discuss how we can move beyond our differences and return to a productive environment.
Mood swings are an active factor in Bipolar disorder. When one thinks of this disorder the manic highs and depressive lows are the go to symptoms.

No one knows your loved one better than you. If you notice over time that your loved one has become withdrawn or uncommunicative note it. This may be a sign of an emotional issue. Pay attention if you notice your loved one become angry, emotional, withdrawn, resentful
As I stated earlier, bipolar disorder consists of shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. This can mean someone can seem very sad and depressed for a long period of time and then a period of extreme happiness. These can be shown in mood or behavioral changes and can be shown in how well they are able to concentrate, how much sleep they are getting, or even if they have thoughts of suicide (NIMH). Although the easiest way to spot bipolar is through extreme mood swings, it can still be present when such mood swings are less noticeable. It is important to look out for even the smallest mood swings because if they are frequent enough it can be a sign of one having bipolar disorder.
At first I would be upset by the team member not fulfilling his/her duties. I would become upset and confused, due to not understanding why this reaction was taking place in the first place. As a team leader responding to an issue with employees being dishonest and
