So, he wanted me to do the job, and HE was the biggest obstacle stopping me from doing the job. Grrrrr.
You know what ??
Next day he will ask me : have you finsihed your training ?
Only thing that works with such people is to try NOT to have them around when you have a survival situation.
They are messy, unorganized, with no sense of priorities.
And they are boss.
How can it be any worse ??
The micromanagers can actually be fairly usefull. They don't play well with others, but tend to be detail oriented if left on their own. Give them a project that only needs one person, has a high level of exactness, and doesn't have a critical deadline. It will be done to perfection, be delivered very late, and it'll keep them out of your hair.
The biggest personality hazard is the enthusiastic amateur. Plenty of effort, but they have no idea what they're doing. They do so much collateral damage, it's better to have them sit on the sidelines or given tasks that don't require any degree of precision that can not be obtained with a 10 lb sledge hammer.
