You are right his team perform without his management. In fact, some on significantly less perform more effectively. I mentioned a restructure earlier on in this post - his staff could quite straightforwardly take on some of his duties. I want him to perform. I've told him that he hasn't got long left to work and that he should go out on a positive. We'll see how he responds in the next few weeks.

How very inspirational of you!

It hasn't always been this bad, ... Perhaps it is a case of realigning what he does in the restructure I don't want him to leave as he has so much experience, but with support he needs to play his part in the improvement process which he is trying to do. .

This reads like it might be a sensible way forward. He doesn't want to manage people so might well accept being rejigged into a different role without it, and hopefully more of whatever he is best at. It might need a bit of face saving wording or job title creation but that is usually easy enough.

Start deligating especialy the organisational/managerial parts that this person does not want to do.

Utilise the guys experience where they add value.

If the guy has not got long you need that experience dispersed amongst the rest of the place.
