Our previous IT Manager quit the job and his replacement commenced his work soon after. Now all the IT staff completed three months working under him and wondering how long it should continue like this.
Within the first two weeks, I realised that the new IT manager has no managerial competency and is very poor in managing meetings, discussions and he even forgets the objective of the meeting. The discussions will go on unfocused and in most of the occasions, the visitors/vendors went back with “nothing achieved”.
I started forcing myself believing that the senior management has selected him because of his technical capabilities. But within a few weeks, I realised that I was wrong when I witnessed the technical discussions presided by him in which it was alarmingly clear that he is hearing the words viz., systems, integration, customization, SKU, KPI, stakeholders for the first time.
I, like any body else, would hate to work under such an incompetent manager where I will not gain any advancement in my career in the accademic interest as well as official interest.
If we had to correct him, then we should be prepared to correct 80% of his decisions/activities hoping he will learn atlest 20% from undergoing some management courses. Will it work or by the time we correct him, he would have taken wrong decisions that would have damaged the company and it’s reputation !
If these thoughts are expressed in front of the Senior management, will they think that it is just a frustration from the change in the management ?
How to resolve this situation ?
