I often deal with unskilled managers
When I first started to be involved in production meetings, I remember people flinching at how blunt I was. The production manager didn't flinch, he just said alright then, you don't get to criticise unless you have a better idea.
He now often gets me to sit in on meetings because he reckons I'm not a yes man and will stop him from getting carried away. Apparently I'm good at bringing him back down to Earth.
It probably also helps that he knows that I am a miser at heart, so if I want to spend company money, then it must need to be spent.
