You’re Micromanaging Without Even Knowing it

Micromanagement is a problem in working environments that restricts employee autonomy and management effectiveness. Many managers do not understand how their actions are perceived by employees or how their actions effect the workers and company. Micromanagement leads to employee disenfranchisement which can also effect customer experience. To combat the urge to micromanage, leaders should observe but not linger. Managers should schedule times to check in without deferring from schedule and ask questions.

Key Takeaways:

  • Micromanagers are notorious for failing to understand why micromanagement is an issue.
  • The prevailing problem is that many micromanagers don’t even realize that their behavior counts as micromanaging.
  • The worst managers think that they already have all the answers, and that their job is to force their own vision of store operations onto their employees. In reality, the relationship should be almost entirely the opposite

“Micro-managers are notorious for failing to understand why micromanagement is an issue. The mindset is that managers are supposed to manage—ipso facto.”
