Micromanagement is a term used to define a management style where the supervisor gets <\/span>excessively involved<\/span><\/b> in the subordinates’ activities. They monitor and control every <\/span>minor detail<\/span><\/b> of the members’ working process and <\/span>influence the output<\/span><\/b>. Simply put, a micromanager expects the work to be done exactly their way and gives minimal or no leeway to the members to bring in their opinions or insights.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Micromanagement could be stemming from\u00a0<\/span>personal reasons\u00a0<\/span><\/b>such as\u00a0the urge for perfectionism, trust issues, etc., or <\/span>organizational factors<\/span><\/b> including constant pressure from the executives, lack of skilled employees, etc. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
