Good point
I am a new manager. I don't really know the fine line between micromanaging and letting the staff do their job. Based on the postings I have read about this so far, I am feeling that maybe a lot of people may think I am just that. An awful, spitefulperson. However, I totally agree that direction needs to be in place and that sometimes a manager most follow through in order to assure that a job is beeing done. In my way of seing it, I am doing my job by helping a person who is not performing toexpectations get there.
Has anyone here ever thought that maybe, just maybe, you are not doing what is expected you to do and that is why you are being micromanaged?
Honestly, I do all I can to keep the lines of communication open with the folks I work with. I can only hope that someone that finds me annoying that they would step forward and say it.
After all, if micromanagers like information, then they would probably like to be told that too.
