Great Leadership by your "leader". Change the name to "puppet". Been a leader for years and when I had to put someone on a plan, common response was "I get it". However, I owned it as my failure as well, not just theirs - in other words, need to fix together and not by "riding with you 2 days a week of a month". I have put managers on plans who use this type of language - "what needs to be done needs to be done"? I would call his boss and ask what is up because that person is the one who needs to tell you why....face it, your boss is a puppet.
