Career advice: Working with poor manager

What can I do about working in a place with a poor IT manager/supervisor?

I’m tired of working here and being held back constantly by my boss’ refusal to be a proactive member/leader of the IT team…just a member would be nice! It is just the two of us but he is the senior.

He is close enough to retirmeent, but is it worth me sticking around in the hopes of filling his position?

I only have 250 points to offer, but I’d like to give more!

Thanks in advance.
