You and your team can alway adopt the grandfather strategic, ie
to pour your grievences to the next superior higher than him, if
still can't work, then the next higher one. Most superiors claim
that they are transparent, so let see how transparent are
they?
Unity is the name of the game here, once your team is united, you
can be sure the management will listen to you, however management
will alway, i repeat again, will alway back and support their
managers, as these managers are what they deem managerial staff
supporting them. So, it does need a tremedous effort in convincing
the higher managment that your team is indeed in trouble with such
manager.
Remember, Leader rule by his action and responsibility, Manager can
just rule by authority ya. So a manager does not necessary to be a
good leader, he manage with authority over you is more than enough
to make you suffer. But given a manager with good leadership will
be a great bonus to all.
Having said all, all of you are wage earners including the line
managers, you got the right to seek the rightful way of work. When
you speak to the higher management, alway take the company future
growth as the main objective. Higher echelon like me like to hear
such commitment. Nevertheless, there is another method which some
of us adopted, ie , if you can beat him, join him, know him, then
slowly destroy him. Ah! working politics, so cruel.
