how to deal with inefficient immediate boss

IT IS SO SIMPLE THAT INSTEAD OF TOUCHING HIS EGO PRAISE HIS EGO. BELLOW ARE SOME QUOTES WHICH I THINK WOULD B OF MUCH INTERESTS TO ALL OF US.

A PERSON HAVING MORE THAN TWO BOSSES IS LIKE A PAWN IN THE GAME OF CHESS.

WHEN TWO INTELLECTUAL MEET THERE IS ALWAYS A FRICTION.

It is always better to ignore the inefficient boss and do your work efficiently and effectively so that the management recognises your  efficeint and effective work and at the appropriate time bring the inefficeint boss to the notice  of the management..Good and efficient work always has recognition but politics is danger in organisation. Hence it is good to do a team work where entire team work is recognised.

Identify the area of inefficiency of the immediate boss. If you are in a running race and you come close to the person ahead you it is better to ignore so that you win the race.

I did try that and that resulted in to a worse condition than as it was before.

your immediate boss knows more than a thousand ways to catch you at guilt even though if you would have not done that.

since you are not competent to assess your boss who allegedly seems to be inefficient, you have to be calm and let his/her boss notice the output being given by his/her subordinate (Your boss). He has got power/competence to take the notice of the inefficiency on the part of his staff/officers.

I agree with Om, you boss's inefficiency gives you a chance to move ahead in your career. Don't always ignore, but report at the right time, like hammer when the rod is hot, who knows when you can get lucky enough to climb the ladder with your efficiency and hard work.

Reporting your bosses inefficiency is the last thing you should do. Only a naive person or a fresher who does not quite understand corporate culture would take such a step :) Because, if your boss finds out or even gets a hint that you have reported him that would be like getting on the wrong side of his/her ego. Once you are on the wrong side, you will be stamped down and harassed at the first opportunity available to your boss, which is not a good position to be in.

You have to handle such a situation very smartly. Your bosses inefficiency is a golden opportunity for you to highlight your performance/achievement and the value that you bring to the team. Showcase your value and build rapport with others in your organization.

This should be taken as an opportunity to showcase your talent. After all his superior would have also noticed it.
