Leadership still has the new manager closing deals and "managing" our team at the same time. To say it's been an adjustment is an understatement. 1:1s are all about forecasting and rarely anything else. Don't get me wrong - I'm an overcommunicator, and I for SURE need help. But when I bring up topics that need to be addressed/would require his involvement (i.e. SDR handoffs, lead flow with marketing, custom quote building) the response I get is irritated at best and he takes complete control of the process, even the deals I run, steamrolling my ownership and autonomy. Eventually have found that if I just treat our interactions like a mini-QBR, he's happy and I don't have to deal with him micromanaging.
What do y'all think? Good way to communicate this? Wait for the dust to settle a bit longer? Would love some advice/feedback.
