When to Go Over the VP’s Head?
- posted in the General Forum
A member writes: "Every manager, including this VP’s direct reports, have now complained regarding his management style. As the HR director, I hear everyone’s concerns and obviously typically reply with: communicate your challenges directly to him; go through chain of command; or maybe our organization is not a ‘good fit’ and you can resign if you disagree with their style of management. This VP is very defensive and truly puts the wall up when anyone tries to discuss concerns or operational issues. Nobody wants to go over his head to the president, but employees are now disengaged and I fear several may resign. I, unfortunately, report to this individual as well. I want to remain objective, but I can also see the issues. While one never wants to go over his/her boss’s head, I think I am compelled to do so. We are a small line of business, with the VP located at corporate HQ out of state and removed from this situation. Thoughts?"
