6. Educate them:  If your boss is incompetent, keep in mind to train and teach him or her about your field of work, every time you speak with him. Although it might seem a bit ridiculous to teach your supervisor, the constant contribution of knowledge will prove to be quite fruitful, when your boss will have enough confidence to make out what you are discussing about.

7. Look for an adviser: Remember, that your boss is not the only person in the business organization who can be your advisor or for whom you can depend for your growth, there are also other people in the organization who are at the higher level, you can request them to be your mentor. You are sure to flatter them and benefit yourself by asking for their help and support.

8. Depart: At times such kind of a situation, where the boss is incompetent, can prove to have a negative effect to you as well as your career. Therefore, it is advisable for you to leave such kind of a job rather than trying to stick to it. If you already tried several things to fix the problems but there is no improvement, it may be time for you to track something else.
