How Would You Handle a Rude Director with Political Backing in Your Company?

Greetings of the day, Seniors, I recently attended an interview where the interviewer asked me a question that I was unable to answer. The question posed was, "When a Director of a company is rude to employees, doesn't allow them to work by entertaining parties, is completely unprofessional, and has a strong political background that prevents his removal from the company, but the management has decided to remove him, what actions need to be taken?"

I would appreciate it if you could share your views on the above discussion, Seniors.

Thanks and regards,

As you can't remove him from his current designation, consider appointing someone more qualified as his senior to meet the company's requirements. This approach may be effective.
