Project management and interference : <p>I am managing a software project that is hot for the company in terms of it being one of the things that is their bread &amp; butter and it is going well.  I have another manager at the company interfering with my project and people.  How does one get this interference to go away.  One thought that he is not creative enough to create work, I mean there is a lot he can do in other aspects of the business that would make a huge impact.  The other piece of this is tasking a person that for a lack of a better way to describe it doesn't actually produce or actually make anything.  How does one handle or manage people that don't produce anything I guess is the question.</p>

<p>Would anyone have resource suggestions such as:
 - Books
 - Paid Training
 - Others</p>

<p>Maybe this is not a topic for this forum. :)  If so, suggestions for other forums would be greatly appreciated.</p>
