What Micromanagers Believe They Do-What They Actually Do
Think micromanagement is a tool for efficiency? Think again.
It’s actually one of the top culture killers.
Micromanagement doesn’t just undermine.
Here is what happens too:
– Growth stalls.
– Trust vanishes.
– Innovation dies.
– Careers stagnate.
– Creativity withers.
– Autonomy is a myth.
– Productivity plummets.
– Team morale hits rock bottom.
The irony?
Bosses who micromanage think they’re helping,
↳ not realizing they’re harming their team’s culture.
The illusion of control is just that.
An illusion.
But change is possible.
Leaders, it’s time to:
1. Embrace feedback. Uncover the blind spots.
2. Foster trust. Anonymous channels can be a game-changer.
3. Empower. Let your team soar.
Micromanagement is not the sign of a meticulous leader.
It’s a red flag of insecurity and fear.
