I have been in education for 16 years. I am highly qualified and led different departments for 13 of those years and was on SLT for 3 years.
I have left teaching and now have a role as a team leader for a small charity. I have taken a 75% pay cut but it is 200% less stressful.
I have never been micro-managed and always been very highly thought of by both managers and co-workers. I have been valued both verbally and financially, in the past.
So I have come into a new role and got on with it. Made great connections, got stuff moving, could list a ton of great things. One of the trustees has taken a great dislike to 'how fast I am moving' and how I am doing things 'without passing them by the trustees and seemingly without boundaries'. She now actively blocks things I want to do, ignores requests when I need information from her and goes out of her way to stop me from contributing to decisions. All in a passive-aggressive way to 'slow me down.'
I don't really know what to do..I feel quite shocked as I feel quite put out that she is not recognizing my skills and experience nor the impact that I am having so far....
I wrote a five year plan for the trustees for how I would move the charity forward and everything I have done so far has been taken directly from the year one targets from that plan. So, as far as I am concerned I have run things by the trustees.
I need to have a meeting but I don't really know what to express and how to express it without coming over like an arrogant arse.
Or if I am being unreasonable for exceeding my job description - which I definitely am by giving the Charity a vision and strategy (which it didn't have before I came along, it just sort of existed having some good impact but there was a vast opportunity for more waiting to be realised).
Sorry that was very long.
