Team member gave himself a new job title
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
A team member gave himself a new job title in his mail signature and asked for new business cards. I was the team lead, actually moving out of this position at this moment. So I can leave it to my replacement but the issue really bothers me and I want to support the new lead in resolving this issue.
What we tried: address the issue in a private conversation.
Result: He feels like it describes what he is doing and refuses to change it.
What we tried: Talked to the CEO about it.
Result: He want's to address it after an important project is finished to not ruin the "drive" so close to the the deadline.
My issue with this is that the longer the self-assigned job title stands, the more accepted it will become by co-workers and clients.
How can I address this without undercutting but rather supporting the new lead and resolve it without firing people?

That's it, if your CEO is not bothered, you really cannot do anything about this.
You took the best decision, move out. There's nothing you can do to make it better.

I understand that point of view as it addresses the hierarchy. But our company culture does not rely on hierarchy alone and the responsibility still falls under the lead. And yes, it bothers the CEO, he is only postponing the issue. It still has to be resolved
