We had a similar problem with a previous board president who frequently acted unilaterally and without consulting the rest of the board: major capital improvement projects, sales of apartments, interviews with potential buyers, meetings with the managing agent, posting public notices supposedly from the board but drafted entirely by him and without feedback from fellow board members … basically a disaster that frankly our building is still recovering from. Check your bylaws. They should outline the responsibilities of directors and should also allow for removal of a problematic officer. Remember, too, that in many of not most corporate structures officers are appointed by their peers on the board. That means that someone’s peers can also re-appoint an officer to a different position whose responsibilities may be more limited.

It is not a healthy situation for one person to make decisions unilaterally for a group of people. Take your fiduciary responsibility to heart and make every effort to check this behavior ASAP. Your shareholders, whom you were elected to represent, are not being well served by such behavior.

There has been at least one article about this either here or over at the Cooperator. The word “renegade” was even in the title of the article, if I remember correctly.

Good luck!
