It might even simply threaten his ego and personal confidence in his past experience to see a younger person in a leadership role. Geographical differences can grate, as the Southern 'genteel manner' might seem 'fake' to an brusque urban dweller, and a self-identified 'city kid' might look down on a suburban dweller as 'out of the loop' of what is new and cutting edge.
