OK – How do you deal with a Boss that wants to approve everything

by jimhm . Updated 22 years, 9 months ago

OK – My self and 5 others have been trying to work around this problem for a year now. But no success. Our boss wants to approve everything that comes out of the department… documents … presentations … spreadsheets … you name it she wants approval of it and have input into it ..

Normally its a 3 to 5 interration of a documents, presentations are worse – hours before you are to do it, shes makeing changes. She has also taken over giveing most of the presentations for the department. Hasn’t a clue about what she is talking about but – gives it anyway…

We have tried talking to her – to her boss – making every change that she puts in on the first iterration – It appears she just can’t accept other peoples writing style – or doesn’t trust her senior staff to put out quality work.

She hasn’t been happy because everyone has been turning in worse and worse product – knowing that she is going to rewrite it.. so why spend the time .. she’s going to do it..

Any suggestions to get this person to understand..
