How about phrases such as "I'm way ahead of you there", "Already on it" and "You're absolutely right: I've done that already".You could even try: "You don't need to worry about that, I have it all under control".

I agree that new bosses need to be trained, but you have to remember that you're still an unknown quantity to him (despite your 15 years of experience).

He does sound quite insecure. If he's going to be a micromanager, perhaps you should start overloading him with information.

If he doesn't get the message, you could try: "Please, you don't need to tell me all these things. I have them all under control and you probably have lots of other things to worry about".

Or would that be pushing it?
