I'm not in the position that I can find another job right away if I ever decide to do so
In that case keep you head down. Do things his way and try and make it work. If you don't think it'll cause friction then make him aware of any problems in his approach but keep it freindly and do you best to make his approach work despite the problems.

And start looking for a new job now. Even if there isn't a re-organisation in the offing and your job isn't at risk (which would be the worst case), doing things badly when you know how to do them well will slowly but steadily leech the life from your very soul.

There is one other possibility, if he's a new director there's a possibility he's got 'New Manager Insecurity Syndrome' (or 'new director insecurity syndrome' in his case) and he just wants to make his mark so everyone knows who's boss. This pernicious and deblitating condition usually manifests itself as ignoring all good advice, 'updating' (for which read 'replacing with a non functional equivalent) all internal system and using obtuse phrases which don't actually mean anything when examined closley. If that's the case he'll probably quieten down in a month or so, so it might be worth toughing it out.
