The new micro manager

Posted by: reastin

Ok, I have been in management for sometime now. I started in the position I am in right now working under a "new" manager, with the knowledge that I am taking over his position when the company is ready to move him. Now when I say new, this man has never been a manager before. Dont get me wrong he has done some good things, and his organizational skills are impecable. Now the switch has taken place. However, not only am I still working under this guy, he is trying to micromanage every thing I do. See... what the company has done is taken this manager and put him in charge of not only my department, but the entire distribution and receiving department as well. It gets better... Not only does he not have experience in my field (maintenance) but he has never work in distribution and receiving before. He has degrees in both IT and HR. Now my question is, how do I deal with this guy. I have 20 years experience in my field and he has none. With the exception of the year that he has put in in this department before I took over. To top things off, this guy is younger than me... Not by much, only 4 years. But he just wont let that one go either.

Thanks for any guidance...
