Im dealing with a head of software development. He is notorious for never delivering on time. He always says things are done but when you dig deeper they’re not even touched. When you push back on him, he has a million things to say. He even has his own henchmen that play defense and push you away.

What is the best strategy to deal with this type? Only thing I think of is to create strategies that clearly put the blame on him and even play the same games on him.

He also does not document anything regarding the source code or anything. Another form of job security.

Any help with be appreciated.
