Some managers feel that they would do the project themselves just so they know it will get done their way. In an effort to curb the constant interruptions by your supervisor who is inquiring about your status on a project, give him constant updates so that he can be assured that you are in the process of completion. Ask questions.

Ask for input/suggestions If possible, before making a request ask for some input on how the project or task can be completed more efficiently.
