It sounds like respect was lost a long time ago for whatever reason that may be.  Any director needs to establish a level of authority to ensure his managers have his respect.  Very hard to restore if it has already got to that stage.
That's why I am not really personal with anyone senior than me.  I find a line is crossed and that's when relationships break down.

Perhaps this person is not director material and instead would prefer to be one of the boys.
