I’m working with a Director and Business Manager who aren’t used to structure and processes. They constantly undermine my decisions, go rogue, and schedule meetings without asking for anyone’s availability. Then the meetings are not productive because there’s no agenda or guiding purpose.

I escalated this issue because I don’t know how to work with them to my boss. My boss said I need to tell those two they are barriers.

Do you agree with this?

Yes, you need to tell them PROVIDED your boss is going to have your back if one of them goes to him and says you are interfering beyond your appointed job level. Like "Who are YOU to tell ME how to do my job?" You have to be prepared for that kind of response from someone who obviously has an entitled opinion of himself and his importance. Stop going to those unscheduled meetings. They provide nothing in the way of guidance. If people would quit showing up for them, he might eventually get the hint.

Thank you so much for making me feel like I’m not the difficult one! I totally agree.
