Bad Bosses: The Micromanager

When organizations hire managers they tend to look for experience in a similar role, or someone that might be able to take the team or organization to a higher level or a different strategic place. It's rare to come across hiring teams that select managers on a "does not drive their team crazy basis." And there are few management issues that people complain about as much as this one: micromanagement. We discuss: What is micromanagement? Why does it occur and what happens when it does? How to deal with micromanagement from three perspectives: a s a senior leader wanting to ensure it's not happening, a s a leader who wants to be a good leader, as a subordinate who is being micromanaged.
