I couldn't agree more, Gene. It never hurts to be prepared.

Good advice posted so far by others, so this should be seen
as an addition, not a disagreement.  If your perceptions of
this new manager prove to be accurate, be prepared for the
possibility that you may not be able to do anything to "make
the best of it."   My previous company brought in a new 
director and did a reorg that resulted in my group reporting
to him.  After a year of trying to "make the best of it," it
became clear to me that "the best" was none too good and
it was time to move on.

So my advice is to keep *all* your options open.  Have 
your resume, your network and your jobhunting skills
tuned and ready to go, and if you get any headhunter calls
don't dismiss them with a "no thanks, I'm not looking"
without giving them a fair hearing.
