[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, it sounds like you may be micro managing him.  Why do you  need to tell him exactly how to manage a meeting he is facilitating?  Why not trust to see that he can manage it?  Why are you making minor edits on a document that three other people are seeing?  You should either be having major input into the document at some stage, or not editing at all if it's just "minor."  He does sound like he has an attitude problem, but it also sounds like it's not clear that you are adding any value by managing him.  Which is likely why he tried to go straight to the "big boss."

Not the OP, but it sounds to me like:

1) He needs to include a specific person in an event and needs to talk to someone else about that person's inclusion.
2) He should have sent the document to the OP in the first place, possibly before the other 3 people reviewed it and definitely before it went to the OP's boss.

It sounds like he doesn't want to be managed at all, actually. Not that the OP is doing a bad job of it.[/quote]

It's hard to tell when it's one sided.  But I expected a post with the title "insubordination" to be something much more serious.  Yes, it does sound like he doesn't want to be managed, but it also sounds like she's not really adding anything much by managing him.  If he's running the meeting, in my opinion she just should have asked "will X be there" or "just realized X needs to be there" and not prompted him further. Making "minor edits" on a document being reviewed by 3 other people is also by definition micromanaging ... [/quote]
