It is also a noun: the smallest (usually) and most necessary room in the house.

Well it might be, if we English speakers had a better understanding of our own language.

He's the "git-r-done" guy. Not everybody's cup of tea.

simple part: do what he says (be diligent in the meetings - write it down - yes: get it done).
hard part: don't do what he doesn't say.
best part: go home at the official workday end time.

Non-tech managers are the best kind. They can't make any intelligent suggestions for the project. Learn to answer his management jargon with like jargon. Like all managers, you need to manage him. Suck it up and get on with it. Make sure he sees you as a team player.
He will settle down when he has had his say. Maybe you could suggest he provide donuts at the meetings;
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Any time there was, I made a big problem out of it. I'm paid to do so, and it is unethical not to.
As long as he doesn't negatively influence the project, no big deal; but he might become a failure-point for an otherwise succesfull project, dragging the entire team with him.
Anything that endangers the project needs to be identified and dealt with, preferably at the start of the project. That's part of the job, isn't it?
Being very intelligent and promising is also no alternative to experience. While I agree that one can only gain experience by doing, I'd like to point out that such is done better from a position where one does not lead others.

You are the hero. I'm going after this with all my forces. The boss can keep him employed, but I don't want someone sitting on top and say "complete", when I'm already taking care of it. This is so fake and artificial and de-motivating.

If you did, people may think he's a success and try another project using the same setup.

No, the one who accepts potential trouble to do right is. You're not causing trouble just for fun, you are preventing an inexperienced soldier from killing his troops. Might be a great general one day, but not if he fails on the first job.

I hope he's lazy; that would make it easier then when he is putting in a lot of effort.
Good luck

AS I previously worked in a large beaurocracy, I learned that :"The cream rises to the top, but sometimes the turds float there faster.
Not much you can do. Let the new manager do his thing and offer your help and support. Apparently, the top brass trusts him, so there's nothing to be gained by trying to undercut him, it would just make you appear to be a troublemaker. If yo really can't stand the organization the ultimate cure is to find a different job!
In all my years in a beaurocracy, I always had another job offer in my hand and let my bosses know I didn't agree to any shite, I jusdt agreed to do my job and if my job changed without my agreement, then I wouldn't hesitate to leave.

Thank you, yes I finally scheduled and complete my Dissertation defense anmd am approved for graduation this month.
The best thing that happened was about 40 years ago, my oldest daughter was about 10 months old, but could converse on n adult level, even though she was small and looked like maybe 6 months old. We were in a store, she sitting in the cart me pudshing and a nother couple was following us around and talking between themselves. When we got to the checkout line my daugter leaned forward and told the couple"You shouldn't talk about us like that and my Daddy is smarter than you!" Not another word was said. I guess it's a bummer to be put in your place by a baby!

No we are a good pack of developers, leads & an Engineering manager. It's a good unit.
The director unaware of what's good for the team, he had assumed a B.school in the mix would help the team further. But it's doing the reverse. Nobody likes it. Bad choice. And this will be conveyed to the boss.

I once had a candid talk with a manager. He said that his job was to "ensure that each team member delivers at least one verifiable deliverable per week, and to make sure that each team member has the required resources for this". Maybe, this is what your manager is trying by saying "get things done".
