My hostile planner

[thunderlizard]

It's times like this you need to ask yourself, "What would MarillionFan do?"

From what she's said so far, she might be able to ask him face to face

Some very good advice from you all - thanks.

My new risk manager has been briefed on our hissy-fit planner's behavior - I thought it might be prudent to mention that the planner (who had been looking after risks and issues BADLY) might get a bit upset when he's told that

a, he's having a slice of his ever-so-important empire snatched from under his nose so won't be managing risks anymore,

b, the way he's been running risks and issues is totally wrong

c, the manager (me) has already explained what the correct definition of a risk is, so why did he not stop and listen

I have also arranged for weekly team meetings starting next Monday. We will all be asked to provide updates on what we've all done over the past week, and whether we are experiencing concerns over x,y,z and what we are planning on doing for the forthcoming week.

The idea behind this is partially do give everyone an idea of what this 'planner' really does, and whether they are 'value for money'.

If he does loose it again (which is fairly likely) I'll have a group of witnesses

You could always have a quiet word in an office out of sight but within hearing. When he shouts say that he pushed you. Make noises about calling the police in for an assault charge and watch them fire him.

Sounds like a public sector non job to me.
