Dear All Professional,

If an employer (MD) is telling with an employee (HR Manager), "I know better than you in HR, several times even HR Manager is competent". I could not able to understand what will be the moral of an organization and its MD. Instead of giving free hand to an employees to work rather than enforcing, is not a draw back of an organization? Even if HR Manager is competent, and MD is putting in that way, is not a hindrance in organizational growth? MD is not accepting HR Manager then why he appointed him?

O.K. M.D. is super boss and company is newly growing and being new organisational set up, why MD is not giving free hand to a competent personnel. Even HR manager is having a very good rapport among employees. Is it not a loose confidence on employees by employer?

And the worst case, after doing well by HR Manager in odd circumstances also, ultimately, MD told to resign HR manger few days latter?

What will be the strategy behind it?

In such circumstances, how HR manger survive and how he should come out from these situations with win, win situation without loosing his / her job and after all contribution to organisational growth?

Kindly give your views.

Thanks to all prior to reply.

Hi,
Kindly clarify if the MD is also one of the owners of the company. If he is, then we have to understand certain things as under.

1) The owners of the company are possessive about their company. They always suffer from the feelings of some damage, threat, loss of control and identity crisis. These make them to behave arrogantly, illogically and irrationally. In such situation there is no meaning in fighting back. Because these do have seldom any positive results.

2) When the company is growing certain designs of growth, in the mind of the MD may not match the patterns what the operations or HR people have. Hence these words of " I know better than you" emerge. It may also be due to some previous examples of burning hands that will make the MD to behave in such a manner.

IF your MD is not an employee:

3) If your MD is also an employee and he is reporting to the chairman/ board then it would worth to escalate and seek guidance on HR processes and advises to be given to MD on HR skills as ultimately he is also a people's manager.

4) The approach of convince, confront, persuade or quit would be the way to use based on the situations and no win win / win- lose situation here. If the MD has decided that you must go there is no meaning in making efforts to stay back and no strategy will help.

Kind regards
