You know how smart the average person is? Consider that half of the population is less smart than that. Having said that, who's to say that you are not the one that doesn't know how to follow a leader? What I'm trying to say is that unless you have tried EVERYTHING you could to make things better, including helping your manager or at least communicating with them in all possible ways, it is not productive to call your manager incompetent. We tend to think that everybody thinks like we do. They don't. That things are obvious and self evident. They aren't. The best advice I can give you, if you really want to make the situation better is to get down from your high horse and work together with your manager to improve the situation. It won't be fast or easy, but it's the right thing to do. If you tried all the above and it still didn't work. Them there is nothing left to do other than look for another manager or job. If you want advice to a specific situation, please be specific in your question and you might receive some helpful answers.
