Use a position based argument get a white board write down your position the other managers position what outcomes you would expect such as employess bringing in certificates also not spending heaps of time in disputes or disciplinary actions
Write down what the other boss wants find what is in common circle them and then talk it out . If you have some positions that are the same you may be able to reason .
If not remain very calm, as you are being abused let him rant and rave for ages and then raise a finger in the air as if you have just had an brilliant idea and say Im begining to sense that you are upset but for the life of me I cant work out why.
Then when he really snaps tell him that his actions are not in accordance with the values and behaviours of the organisation.
