I have worked with two kinds of managers with outdated ideas or skill set: 1. The first kind is humble, respectful, friendly and likes to learn the modern stuff. These managers are nice to work with even if their skills are outdated. When you help managers like this by bringing them up to speed, you feel happy, the manager feels happy and it is a win-win situation. Relationships become stronger. 2. The second kind is egoistic and likes to assert their power. They are not in the game to learn the technology stuff but instead to advance their career further in the management ladder. I have found that interacting with these managers drains my energy and creates unnecessary stress even if I have to say the exact same thing I would have said to the first kind of managers. I don't exactly know why it creates more stress though. I guess the additional stress is due to lack of trust and lack of a good relationship with this kind of managers. It always seems like the manager is not on my side but always exclusively on their own side. And indeed the only way to get out of this situation is to rally others around myself and have the manager replaced with someone of the first kind.
