How to deal with manager who has no expertise and doesn't listen to advice?
I was hired as a subject matter expert in analytics, however was assigned a manager without any experience in the field. The problem is I've been repeatedly telling him projects should be discovered from end users, he disagrees and comes up with ideas himself, consequently projects the team has produced don't end up being used.
Does anyone have any experience in a similar situation with an inexpert manager who doesn't listen to advice?
