Muddled up about my Manager

Its kind of real hard sometimes to be with some people everyday,
a perfect example is my current manager.
As my manager i get irritated about the person is
no authority in managing(except when it comes to the crunch just says i want
this this stuff done.....
do it ...how? simple i dont know u ppl have to)

No sense of clarity in what is required causing repeat work.this is esp excruciating in
certain areas like data collection where one day u need data arranged this way
next day a different way ans so do the damn copy paste 200 times again.
just to get some data to draw their charts which go nowhere.
Managing 20 ppl you will get 20 ideas but you as a manger needs to
decide what you want .Its one thing to encourage team work
and another to literally frown whenever u regularly chat up/have lunch with other non-team ppl.

But as a person you can call the person sweet/kiddish and so on.
Promoted by a similar region(this is India!!!!!!) past manager this person rose soon to

become a manager and frankly is quite sound technically but has
so few management skills.
So most of the management work used to be handled

which was appreciably called as delegation of work to senior guys who
made good use of the authority in good and bad ways.But this person ended up never developing
management skills.

I cant even hate this person unlike my past Manager who deserves
not a post but a blog he was so terrible and im sure all my past colleagues would contribute
greatly to it.
All my practical knowledge about management is from him
i.e WHAT NOT TO DO AS A MANAGER if/when i become one i knew by observing and working with him.he was that terrible as a person too in some contexts not all.

Life is so perplexing with some other people though......u don't like them... you don't hate them like the current manager.

when we stay back late just while leaving there is so much concern(genuine too) as to how you'll reach home blah blah..
if only that was shown a few hours early and a solution worked out we'd feel so good.
Today was this confusing candidate's birthday and all i could do was take refuge
in sun signs Ok i tell myself the person's a CANCERIAN ........Whatever....
