You might have the right person and the wrong boss.

Right person, but they're under the wrong type of leader.

Now, this can be tricky and complicated because what do you do with the wrong leader?

It depends.

It could be a lot of different things.

But sometimes you have a good player and that player's personality doesn't operate well under a certain type of leader.

For example, you might have a creative person under a micromanaging boss, and that's probably not going to work well.

or you might have a very strategic thinker under a more free-flowing boss.

And that can be complimentary, or sometimes if the boss doesn't recognize the value of the strategic thinker that they can butt heads.

So what you can do is several things.

One thing,

And I'm going to try to explain this clearly.

It's a little complicated.

But you might consider adjusting the reporting structure.

You might use, instead of a firm line down from boss down to employee, you might use a dotted line to someone else in the organization.

For example, you could have one team member who works daily on one team kind of under a leader, but then maybe reports formally to a leader on another team or in another department.

Now, you cannot do this all the time everywhere or you'll have an organizational mess.

But every now and then,

If you've got a great player that just doesn't function well with a direct report to the person they work with regularly, you might just do a little dotted line and have that person get reviewed by and report to someone else somewhere in the organization.

Another thing you can do is this.
