How do you handle disciplining an employee that is more important to the company than his boss?

1. The process should be no different for any employee. Be firm, respectful, and concise. Obtain and confirm mutual understanding.

3. My workplace just writes him up and that is it. The guy is a massive prick that knows how important he is to the company. His employee file is massive because of all the write-ups. One thing I've noticed is that he makes it a point to try and become buddy buddy with a new boss .... but only if he is a man. The guy is a misogynist and can't do that if his boss is a woman.
