While not all businesses will find jetting bosses around a regular concern, managing the behaviour of those under pressure from demanding executives is crucial.

Following the sudden and unexpected death of Polish President Lech Kaczynski in a plane crash, his critics have insinuated his impetuous behaviour may have been partly to blame.

Maverick Left-winger Leszek Miller, a former Polish prime minister himself, has reportedly cited the Kaczynski’s impatient ordering of pilots to make dangerous decisions as a reason for the tragic accident.

As the UK’s Telegraph reported, in August 2008, Mr Kaczynski reportedly “shouted furiously” at a pilot who had disobeyed his order to land his plane in then war-torn Georgia for safety reasons. He later tried to have the pilot removed from his post with the Polish air force for insubordination.

The phrase ‘VIP Syndrome’ is used to describe this behaviour and the circumstances sparked speculation in Poland that the pilot had been pressured by his superiors to land at Smolensk rather than diverting.

While perhaps not on this tragic scale, ‘Risque’ gets the feeling VIP Sydrome might be occurring in every workplace in the land.
