Micromanagement is widely perceived to be bad. Bad for employees. Bad for productivity. Eventually bad for the organization.
Managers, especially new ones, have the temptation to check and control every piece of work produced by their team, often frequently adding their own inputs and constantly changing the final outputs. This usually shows a lack of trust and incapability to delegate. But works needs to get done, and some managers may struggle to find the right balance between being involved in the small details and delegating, to ensure that deadlines are met with the quality expected.
In this webinar, we will start by explaining what is micromanagement and what are its negative impacts. Then, we will describe which areas managers need to focus, even if this means micromanaging, to build the autonomy of the team.
Eventually, we will share a few thoughts about micromanagement in today's context.
