This is an interested topic!

In my tons of experiences in U.S. including years of experiences as executives, that happens very often! You might not notice that and just focusing on your job, but indeed the personnel management, and employee issues are the toughest one to solve for any organizations.

Look from both side of the table, from personal experiences, here are some outcomes.

1. My former boss is getting reporting into me after a while, the best outcome to overrun your boss.

2. My boss is still my boss, but I get certain areas as extra responsibilities, the second best outcome I got.

3. Neither side is willing to change and continue running into each other, no gain no loss.

4. The organization tells me that I do not fit into their organizational model, so I am leaving onto a new track.

For me, most time this is getting into number three, which means either side plays the politics and that is most situations will be solved among executives any way. All other three situation are just exceptional in my experiences, though they did happen.

For the people to complain my management styles, the outcomes are.

1. My boss tells me about the complains, and I exercise my management skills as daily practice to quite that.

2. Identify the organizational issues and I am going to reorganize the department.

3. Ask someone to leave the company and stop the confusion.

Most of time, that is number one any way. I have only asked one person to leave due to that exact cause in my whole management life. And so far, I have not been replaced by someone was reporting into me before.

However, those are not important. The things matter are 1) you are respected as a human being while complains come and 2) you respect other people as human being when deliver complains. We are talking about office politics not life or death fighting in class struggle ...

GOOD LUCK
