Hi all. I am a network admin that is mostly technically oriented and not that up with management practices. I have been managing my network and user base for many years.
I am in a situation where I am up against a more experience manager that has IT aspirations but not very technical. The manager can’t setup a network share between 2 PC’s – but the manager has plans of creating their very own ERP system that will be completely independent of the ERP already in place.
The manager wants to setup their own IT department that is directly digging into my job responsibilites. The manager has also been very successful in convincing decison makers that any new project and decison come from the manager without my consultation – any problems that arise from it i will have to fix.
I am stuck between a rock and a hard place – and am willing to continue doing my job, but i would like to make sure that accountability for bad decison making on the part of the manager remains in their court and they are held responsible.
how does one go about that in a professional manner?
