Impossible...But if I'm the owner of the company or his wife's brother and a recent graduate
Feel great about it and start team work with an intention to contribute, learn and use the asset to achieve the common goals.
A manager doesn't need to be more experienced than his employees, but he needs to be a leader. In this case, I feel very comfortable. I will manipulate him (in a positive way) to help me achieve my (also his) targets. I will be more creative and take much initiatives (with his blessings).
I answered a similar query before. It happens when the person is influential such as relative of the sr. management, a partner of business.. I will have no problem to face such situations as long as we both work towards achieving company's strategic goals.. I will try my best to give full support to him, and suggest him in taking right decision...
Firstly; I refuse to have boss directing me knowing with less experience he have, will affect my work along the way in regards to qulaity production then appreciation.
Secondly; If I have no chance but to accept such job, I will surely do my best to acoommplish my tasks, assest him, and work toi change my unfair situation, with the highest morals and manners known in this world.
It does,t really matter boss is less experienced than you,he has role to run department and you have your
role to support him and team to succeed as department.It,s good chance to you to step up and contribute
in success of department to new heigh with combination of youth and experience alongwith innovative
ideas.
Also take this an opportunity to showcase your experience matters most in success of department and
feel valued resouce of department .

It will be frustrating at times, you might question judgement of ones who put an inexpereinced manager on your head. But if you have winining atttitude, you can make it happen, assume role of Enabler and collaborate to show him/her ropes. You can not lead your manager or manage your manager so be content at Enabler and have fun of learning ride. Its going to be bumpy but thrilling. Good Luck!
NO PROBLEM GHADA,,,,, ITS ALL PROFESSIONAL, I WILL WORK ON MY GIVEN ASSIGNMENTS,,, HE WILL BE HAVING SOME SPECIAL MERIT THEN ME IN THIS ORGANISATION THATS WHY HE IS THERE,,,, 2ND OPTION IS ALWAYS OPEN TO THINK ABOUT BETTER CHANGE,,,,
In my point of view i do agree with both answers given by Mr : Mohammed naif & Mr.: Zafar too
Great!? ..Will be ready to help as long as he/she's eager to learn and not showing any excessive BOSSY behavior. It could happen with fresh graduates at some organizations or with new joiners who are supported by influentials.
For me it is frustrating situation,as it is very hard to tackle such type of manager, but on the other hand it is good chance for us to show our skills and experience in front of management , which may lead to better opportunites.
