Understanding the Roots of Micromanagement in Leadership

No one likes to be micromanaged. Leaders need to strive to empower their team members, trust them to do their work done, and strive to hold them accountable to deliver exceptional results.  

In this short Leader Lesson Jennie and Craig define micromanagement, look at the reasons it happens, discuss how you can identify if you are a micromanager, and finally highlight some of the ways to reduce or eliminate micromanagement.  

This conversation draws on a prior, longer conversation that Jennie and Craig had about Micromanagement. Resources from that conversation can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/smart-links/AQHUPFNkx5TqNA
