I have recently been appointed as a manager in a very small media firm. I was told I have to manage one youngster who was with the company since last 4 months. Apart from us two we have marketing team another Director who was earlier managing this guy, research team and my CEO.
Its been one month since I was hired, this young guy started to showing me off as he is my boss by giving me orders and telling me tricks of the trade…which I already know as I have 7 yrs of exp to his 4 months. I kept ignoring him and kept quite as thats my nature. I am in sales so every now and then the director and my CEO kept asking us questions about our performance…keeping us at the same level.
Now my problem is:
a)this young guy who thinks he knows everything and even if he needs to know something he will ask the director or the CEO.
b)The director who still can get over the fact that he has been promoted and I have been given his place. He keeps dropping by and asks questions about our performance keeping us at same level.
c)My CEO,who has questioned my capability and then has asked me to perform well at my subordinates level and then once I am ready I can again take up the charge.
Can somebody suggest me what shall I do?
