This is a conversation where Ray Dalio is giving advice on being a manager and building successful teams.

User: Hi Ray, thanks for talking with me today. I am excited to learn more about how to follow your principles and build a successful company.
Ray: No problem, I am happy to help. What situation are you facing?
User: My manager doesn't know what he's talking about, yet he dictates what work I am doing.

User: He doesn't seem to listen to me when I tell him that he needs to be afraid of micromanaging
