- Who likes to work for micro managers? No one that I have ever met! Yet is seems like there are tons of them out there! Listen to this short video and learn if you have any of the traits that just might be frustrating the people under your care.
I'm currently in that hell of a workplace. I believe it will take a toll on my health unless I quit.
I am so sorry to hear. Maybe you best quit before you go insane!
Whats your status now and please let me if you know a way to solve this as I'm living it
It definitely does, especially on your mental health
I'm a supervisor for someone with a micromanager spirit! That's even harder
@@cristinacri1283 wish you best luck with that
Been at my job 25 years.
About a year ago we got a new boss and she does all this.
I can't work like this and so I started to look for A new job.
I have me 2nd interview next week.
Wish you the best of luck
In this last two year, l’ve got my new boss and she is micromanagement style, I try to finish the things on time but still not accepted by her, I have got a lot complaint even a small things further more, she also want to treat my personal life, I feel very stressful, so I left the job, this is not I can’t do the job, this is because I am stressful with her leadership. I start the new job next month. I expect my new boss don’t have this micromanagement.
@N G thanks for your advise, I will talk soem about this
@Laura onesky - how are things now?
It's all about control. My initial thought was that overwhelming this person with communication and progress updates would instill trust, and enable some autonomy in my role, and dare I say, even increased responsibility.... it didn't. It only led them to seek further involvement in the additional work I was 'granted'. It's not about your work product - it's all about their control.
Yes you are so right Simone. It is all about the insecurity of having to control things and people instead of trust. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the feedback Zach. I am glad my video was helpful. Be sure to check out my book, "The Top Ten Mistakes Leaders Make" for lots more great content.
Micromanage+I'm introvert=I quit
Yes I totally get that! I too am an introvert. Leave me alone and let me do my work! Thanks for the comment!
Please do
Even though I am somewhat extroverted, I don’t want to be micromanaged either. I know what I’m doing and get flustered when my boss immediately changes the job for no reason or interrupts.
I'm so close to quitting my job the team lead just keep micromanaging and nitpicking with me over little things!!!
@Her Right There Sorry to hear that it gets frustrating sometimes
Let me what happen to you did you manage it,
@Her Right There tell me what happen to you how did you manage it
@Her Right There so the answer is to quit is much better
@Her Right There i will do the same. Thank you.
You're making suggestions to people who aren't going to listen.
Well, it doesn't mean it is not worth trying. Every once in a while leaders actually learn new skills!
True
@@HansFinzel negative sir!
I hate micro managing so much. It’s the most unpleasant feeling while at work. I’m a very chill person yet my supervisor hovers over me sometimes and it gets under my skin ....geez man lol
Don't you just hate the "hovering." Management by helicopter! Thanks for your comment and I am sorry you are suffering under this kind of leadership.
The video was very informative. It describes my superviser perfectly. She writes out a schedule for us daily with time limits. 10 minutes to sweep the aisles and she has had meetings asking why is it taking longer. I had to threaten to quit in order to get a small change in a procedure. The change took less than 5 minutes to make and saved time when processing paperwork. She could not understand the concept even though the rest of the employees fully supported it. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for letting me know that my video was a help to you David. Your supervisor sounds like an interesting piece of work and a great exhibit about how not to supervise people. I feel you pain!
Controlling
There’s only one way to do the job (my way)
Impatience’s, unrealistic deadlines
Constant contact (hovering)
TMI.. too much information! Smothering with too much information
Relax (no value)
Release people to do the job their way
Be patient
Space
Don’t smother with too much information
You got it. A sad way to operate but so many terrible bosses act just this way. Thanks for your comment.
Hans Finzel thanks for your video!
I have a micromanager who is so bad I'm about ready to quit. I don't know what to do anymore. He calls so many times I've had to start avoiding his phone calls. I can't even sleep at nights now because I'm so stressed out. I want to never ever see him again!
Hi Audra. I am so sorry for what you are going through. I hear this all the time from people. I guess my only advice is to start looking for another job--but I bet you already are!
What's the current status
Great video ... thank you for taking the time to make it for us. I've browsed the comments too, and it didn't take long though to find out the wrong people are watching it.
I too am on the receiving end of the micromanagement, and it's really taking its toll at work, but I'm also bringing part of it home too. :(
In a nut-shell, I have a new "Boss's Boss's Boss" (three levels up), that started several months ago, so the relationship is brand new. Also, it's important to note that we don't have the same background ... he's never done my job before.
I first understood his constant barrage of questions and nit-picks as being his keen interest in learning about the industry, and I enthusiastically held his hand for several months.
However, there appeared to be a shift just over a month ago where his questioning actually started crossing the line and became more controlling, as if he now knew more about my role and how long things should take, or how they should be done (and no, he really doesn't).
My Boss, and my Boss's Boss, unfortunately have not stepped in when it became clear (in my mind anyway) that I was having difficulty with his level of interference.
Finally, last week, while I was working on one of my tasks, I open my email, and here is something from him showing me that he's completed my task (remember, he's 3 levels up). I highlighted a couple of (real) issues with what he's done, and corrected them, at which point he demanded to know why his thing couldn't work. I responded in an email, quite thoroughly, and with a passive-aggressive tone (copying my Boss, and my Boss's Boss). He insisted on a phone call right after, and unfortunately I lost it on him.
Now, after the fact, I'm trying to find a way to move forward.
I have, BTW taken both my boss and my boss's boss, and genuinely apologized for the issues the blow-up caused, and they understood ... but WHY didn't they get involved before it got to this stage.
Things aren't always as straight forward as you can pull from an HR textbook.
Hi Tom. Great to hear from you. Glad you like the video. It really is sad when you read through the comments. It just amazes me how many people are suffering under control freaks. My passion is to try and change that with my writing, teaching and seminars.
I'm a manger and my boss is a micro manager. Absolute control freak. Tells everyone what to do.
I am so sorry to hear that. It is so common and so very demoralizing. A sign of great leadership weakness on their part.
What if your boss never backs up your decisions? I am a leader over my dept. One whimper from the staff taken out of their comfort zone results in her changing my plans. I will admit to anyone my decisions won't always be perfect. I would just like my boss to let me follow thru with the plan without making me look like a chump. Each time makes that/those employees lose respect for me as a leader. How should I deal with this? Thx in advance😊
This is a very good video. Thank you for sharing.
I worked with managers who always check in and need to be in every single meeting and conversation, sometimes I just couldn't tell if they were micromanaging or just being proactive. But either way, I would feel I wasn't trusted.
Also sad that most managers won't realize they are micromanager.
This describes my boss to a T all five traits!
I am so very sorry to hear that!
So sorry to hear that Rose. And sorry for the delay in getting back to you...I feel for you. So very common!
unfortunately micromanagers are the last ones to take this advice!
Yes so true.....sadly. But I have seem some willing to change with some good coaching if they see the value of good delegation..
Some of us, former micromanagers are well aware of our condition.
and the last ones to go looking for it.
The prime example of my work life.
Using this video to write a paper to my principal and how she mircomanages our school very informative.
Scenario: My company recently wanted to transfer me to a new center that we have to work, I had originally said I would go but started hearing from everyone that the new manager where I was going was a micromanager and very disrespectful and even stood around with a stop watch. So I went to visit the new center and meet the manager. The first things he said was that he had fired a lot of people and could do anything that I did better. Well red flags went up and I came back and told corporate I was unable to go. Afterwards a lot of people said they had been taking bets on how long I would’ve lasted with this new manager.
Anyway now my current boss came and asked why I had changed my mind and I told him that I could not work productively under a micromanager. I also found out that my current promises of a raise, company vehicle and a higher position was just a lie.
Conclusion: It’s really made me feel insecure at my current job and I really don’t even want to be productive there anymore, Should I look for another job? I’m thinking I need to. Tks
You did the right thing in not making that transfer. And now you are being lied to! I found that I cannot work in a company that has leaders that do not tell the truth and lie to manipulate the workers. I would look for another place to work.
This is so true. My job just went through a merger and our new leader fits all of the characteristics that you described. Theres no freedom for creativity since everything is rigid. He is also counter-productive because the same email will go to four different people (unbeknownst to them) maybe because one employee is out to lunch so he goes through everybody else (impatience) which causes everyone to ask the same questions and convolute the situation. There is no space to do our jobs because there are constant interruptions, constant emails, and constant follow-up. I've started the process of looking for another job. Thanks for the informative video.
You are welcome. I feel sorry for all the people--you included--that work under your new leader. It is sad how often I hear the same thing. Micromanagement is an epidemic disease in the workplace. Good luck finding a new job--that is exactly what you should do because changes are very slim that this person will ever change.
@@HansFinzel What do you do when pettiness is added to the equation? I feel like I'm in middle school. He's hiring younger workers and I've now been excluded from the business meetings and decisions with no explanation. I guess because I've invested eight years, and because I'm older, and he's only been here six months I go back and forth about leaving. The writing seems to be on the wall though.
@@rochelleh48 I like to say, "In the absence of great dreams pettiness prevails." When leaders are not busy doing the big things they should do, the stoop to such horrible practices as micro management and mis-management like you are talking about. So sorry you are being cut out and left out...obviously you are no longer of value to your boss. Time to start looking...
Hans Finzel thank you for your wisdom and for taking the time to respond. Agreed.
Good morning. I’ve watched this video and read your comments many times and I finally made the decision to transfer to another division. After eight years the decision was tough (considering he was here only seven months) but I felt like my creativity, positive energy, and livelihood were being squeezed out of me, likened to what a python snake does to its prey. Thanks again for your wisdom and advice. I’m much happier!
Great Video. This reminds me of my Manager. He has to be in control all the time, has to know everything that I am doing. NitPicks everything. His way is only right to do a job. Otherwise you're a bad employee and need to be baby sat. After he got hired, 95% of those people who reported to him quit couldn't stand his micro management. I came after those people too bad I didn't know this ahead of time. It's scary that he things he is one of the greatest managers to walk the face of the earth.
Hi Darryl. Thanks for your comment on my video. You just confirmed for me again how many terrible bosses there are out there! So sorry for you....you gotta find another job! You might want to pick up my brand new book on Top Ten Ways to Be A Great Leader. bit.ly/TopTenBGreatLeader
Should I give this book to my manager? LOL. And tell him. HINT HINT. I should check out this book.
I think you should slip a copy of my "Top Ten Mistakes Leaders Make" onto his desk! LOL.
So true he needs advice for sure.. I think his face would turn red and steam would burst out his ears. And then he would start crying like a little GIRL. LOL.
Thank you for the great short video. I've been micromanaged and it's never pleasant. Thanks for the info. :-)
You are most welcome. It is never fun, is it?
I would add a sixth sign of a micromanaging boss. It's the tendency to blow up minor work situations into major incidents, misinterpreting events, which only results in less efficiency and stress. The irony here is the micromanaging boss ends up creating more work for themselves by distorting reality, turning anthills into mountains. When a manager is micromanaged, it's not only disrespectful, but reflects a lack confidence, which is demoralizing. That manager's team can see the unnecessary actions, and it short circuits his or hers authority.
@@timebasecorrector5162 *Wow, excellent explanation and very true! It is why there can be high turn over rates, low morale and extreme stress/anxiety that can lead to all kinds of health issues.*
But I'm not going to keep giving them that power - for Jesus says,
John 16:33 - These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Matthew 6:27 - Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
The saying is true, people don't quit jobs but their bosses (although there can be terrible jobs out there too w/o having a terrible boss).
Thank you for this sir
My boss is everything u described! And that's why I am quitting soon!!😁😌
Well good luck. You might as well.... they rarely ever change
1:13 I had this problem. I found a way that was faster and effective, that was within company guidelines and process rules. However the AH Boss grilled me for half an hour, saying that it "concerned" him. I asked him ".....so did l do anything wrong?" , to which he said "no,". I also asked him "..has anyone form the other departments complained or has there been any negative feedback ?" ...again he said "no"..In the end I said "so what is the problem? ", all he said was".....l don't know, it just that your work on this issue concerns me". What a complete A***hole!
No kidding. It is not that you are not doing a great job....they just cannot let go of CONTROL!!!! Thanks for watching.
@@HansFinzel many thanks for your reply, much appreciated. The AH failed to see that in total he wasted an hour of the company's time (30 minutes if mine and his time) over this pathetic petty issue.
Hanz, Thank you very much! This is great stuff!
Gerardo Delgatho Gahona You are certainly welcome. Seems to be a problem that won’t go away
Man I had to tell my supervisor that he was unprofessional he was nick picking about everything I was doing and instead of him pulling me to the side and talking to me about it he would be loud and rude about something that he didn’t think I should be doing. In front of other co workers.
Empowering your people is the mark of a great leader. Micromanaging conveys a complete lack of trust.
You are so very right in your insight. Thank you!
I want to be in a path of being a true leader.
I hate being recognised as micro manager.
Thanks Sir,
You have done great job.
Greetings Muhammad. I am thankful that you have a desire to be a healthy true leader. I suggest you keep working at your leadership skills and do what you can to avoid being a micro-manager. Thanks for watching!
@@HansFinzel
Yes Thanks Sir.
I am really happy to have an answer from you.
Best Regards

Man I wish this guy could talk to my manager and give her some advice. I do not work well with micromanagers ... Period!!! If you don’t trust that I can do the job why did you hire me is how I feel
I would love to! So sorry you are suffering under the plague of another one of the many micromanagers still out there!
I think for some atleast for me. It’s not the people that hired me. It’s when they move on and someone new with micromanaging disorder comes in.
I've been in a micromanaging team for 2 years now and I can honestly say its been the worst 2 years of my life and my health both physical and mental has deteriorated immensely. They've been trying to get rid of me for some times now by micromanaging me to death and monitoring all my emails and work and asking to check them before I send them, then always finding ways to "fault" it. Even the most small tiny imperfections gets put on a pedestal while positive achievements and feedback from customers are never acknowledged by them nor have I received any encouragement or praise for any improvements I've made. Now they've placed me on an "informal work plan" accusing me of not doing a few things which I have been doing, just because I did it right 50 times it doesn't seem to matter but when I do it wrong once it becomes the end of the world in their eyes. It sucks , they tell me I can always check with them if im unsure about anything but when I do check with them they would tell me im relying on them too much and that I should be knowing all this, then during the times when I actually do my own research and did not get the answer 100% correct they would tell me off for not checking .....Its so damn confusing trying to get on their good side because I need to job for financial reasons. It's really hard when everything I do, they even time my toilet breaks, and lunch breaks, and if im 1-2 mins late they would make me stay back 1-2 mins even after work is complete just for the sake of "doing your hours". Ridiculous. Now they've collected a whole list of micro errors and some bigger errors that I've "made" recently and trying to get me fired through this performance plan which seems very hard to meet as they seem to expect absolute perfection always. Other team members has made mistakes too but they don't seem to be put on all these micromanagement measures, it just seems like im the only person being targeted here, at least more severely than others. I have reported this manager once before for racist over the phone to me she told me "clearly, our english is not on the same page" , ever since reporting her she has put me on this strict "performance monitoring" thing where I cant even send out an email without waiting overnight for her to approve it first and correct me. It almost feels like subtle / subconscious racism to me, they feel the need to correct the way in which I write even if the facts are correct and the language is easy to interpret. I've received many positive feedbacks from customers and they have never had a problem with my communication style.
Im the only Asian person in a team of pre-dominantly females in their late 40's - 60's working in education offices.
I have emailed HR for the second time just detailing the whole thing and how im being singled out and tabs beeing kept on me, I'm not sure if I have much luck because I've got 2 managers in the team against me trying to get rid of me due to technicality and performance issues, but it looks like they're the ones trying to purposely magnify and create issues so they can find a reason to get rid of me. I just honestly don't know what to do.
I feel your pain. It sounds like a horrible existence. Is there any way you can find another job? Does not sound like things will even improve where you are. Thanks for sharing your pain with me!
If a work place is full of micro-management, it is quite often with bureaucracy. Even a tiny piece of work or task need someone's confirm and approval. That really sucks.
My boss does every one of these things. I recognize he can’t help it and is truly well intentioned but it is very frustrating. I can say he has gotten somewhat better over the past 17 years. Sometimes he doesn’t even say anything out loud, just kind of looks around a little bit at the project I’m fabricating as to imply it should be going faster. I just have to not let it get to me, lol, but sometimes it is difficult
Thanks Jaden for your comment. I am really sorry you have to live under that kind of boss....but you are not alone! Seems to be epidemic. You might want to buy him a copy of my book, "The Top Ten Mistakes Leaders Make." and leave it on his desk!
I am so depressed at work. My boss does all of these things. He stands over me while I write an email to make sure it's right. The emails include informal emails to the people in the same team as me within our small company.
I am so sorry to hear that. Your boss needs to learn a few things about trusting his employees!
Sometimes, you just gotta let them know up-front in the beginning about things you do not take lightly about and further discuss with them that. Then see if they will honor and respect your boundaries as an employee who has employee rights.
I work under a micro manager. It is very difficult please my boss.he always crtisize us.
Hi Sultan. Man I am really sorry for you. That is such a bummer to work under someone like that. I wish you could gently tell him that he is not helping you do your work but hindering your productivity!
Micro managers are psyco. they have a disorder called OCPD
Sultan Alqithami i think they do..... stupid leaders
Sultan Alqithami omg! that is what I been saying about my boss!
oh boy do i know that feeling!
As a person who worked for a micromanager for over a decade, it's best to look for another job or resign and move on. Being micromanaged to death isn't good nor healthy for your wellbeing. Despite my best efforts to maintain, the boss never changed and she got worse when she married the number 2 guy in the company. The boss's husband was also the boss of our department director. This made it easier for my boss to manipulate her boss, the director, into making my life a living hell on the job. I eventually resigned with a last day note on a Friday evening after work. I left and felt like a burden was lifted off my shoulders. It was the best decision I ever made!
Oh my goodness. That sounds like a horrible scenario. I fell your pain! Good thing you moved on - and I agree that is all you can do. Sounds like a very toxic place to work.
@@HansFinzel Thank you! It became a very toxic environment to work in to the point it affected my health. I'm okay now after resigning and moving out of state. Life is so much better for me now!
@@2blue4u69 I am glad to hear that you are okay now. You might the right decision.
Like the comments: "Only my way"
My manager is a beauty, he's a great leader. Yet, the company owner "micromanaging freak" wants to decide everything his way(even my manager hates it) ! It's so killing and he made me hate my job. I always question and wonder if he wants to decide everything and micromanage, why does he hire people? Might as well hire robots.
Worst of that all, he knows nothing about the field, he's a business man who would call from another continent while on vacation to ask about an email I sent..seriously?
Thanks for your comment Alex. Wow it does sound like you have one of the worst! I hate how often I hear the same story from so many people. Hang in there..... when it is your turn to lead....you can set things right.
Lmao at least 4 out of 5 describe my current boss 😂 good thing I gave them my two weeks notice
Yes it is a good thing you are moving on...these people cannot be changed. Thanks for watching!
The worst is this I can't quit yet. I can't afford to. I love the work I do and want to advance in my career, but my boss is so insane. He recently had a baby two weeks ago but this hasn't changed him much. He also makes me feel very stupid in a way, just to top it all off.
I am so sorry to hear of your plight. Many people are indeed stuck like you are. Hopefully you will be able to move to a better place soon. Thanks for watching!
I worked under micro management, He is looking over my shoulder and watching computer screen
Shows that he's not doing his job........he is not being productive if he's doing that. His time looking over your shoulder is time wasted.
The one dislike I guess was a micromanager who didn't like what this guy had to say. Thought this was a great description of a micromanager
Thanks Andy. Unfortunately there are a ton of micro managers out there! In my latest book, I talk a lot about how to be a hands off delegator.... check it out if you want to learn some more. And I just launched it in audio book read by myself. bit.ly/TopTenBGreatLeader
holy jesus, this is my former boss to a tee. I had to quit after 4 months, couldn't take her controlling issues and when I announced I was quitting, she had the nerve to tell me I was going to "learn with life" that I was wrong...just because I wanted more independency in the workplace. I was the 8th demission that year, so I rest my case.
I am so sorry to hear that. That is another problem with micro-managers - they tend to be narcissists who blame others for their failings. I hope you found a better job!
Not surprised she said that to you. Wants to control you till the very end.
Good video, but on the point of view of someone like me, who used to be a micromanager, it was necessary for the first few years of our startup to establish corporate culture. Now that we're a mature company i've delegated pretty much everything to my directors, coordinators etc. I was well aware of my micromagement issues. I suffer from OCD so this didn't help. As long as stuff is done properly now I don't bother people. About ETA's we also as managers have to deal with over-optimistic team leaders who think they can do stuff quicker than it can be done. I now multiply these guys ETA by 3. Yeah, I suffer from the "commander syndrome" but I've always been fair. It helped create discipline and eventually people found out as long as they do their stuff correctly I don't bother them. I even unblocked the internet and built a lounge. But I was also a Co-Founder and I'm aging this was my last chance basically at finding myself a retirement fund. Our employee retention is through the roof. People are happy. They know I'm the crazy cool dude if you're on top of your stuff.

Hi Brawndo...I guess that is not your real name. I really enjoyed hearing from you and your company and your style as it adjusted as your company grew. You sound like you have grown well...which is such a huge issue for founders. Founders are always the worst micro-managers. Glad you like this video. Have you checked out my Top Ten Mistakes Book? bit.ly/10MistakesLeaders Enjoy your ride!
@@HansFinzel Thanks for the reply, I will. :)
@@HansFinzel Hey I'm late was reviewing my comment history, and yes, turns out I already had your book when I wrote this comment. Never realized you were the author. Coincidence hehe.
Micromanagers never last or the employee will just walk
Tat is very true indeed. Either they leave, or the workers walk out on them. Thanks for watching!
I work for my cousin, she just brought her fiancee on board recently, and he is a textbook helicopter manager. I realize there are areas that are lacking in our company. As I am the operations manager, I am doing my best to correct those areas and I take my job seriously, and view myself as a strong leader. I have had others at previous jobs tell me this. However. He has been stressing me out so badly, I am now currently considering looking for a new job in the industry. The double hurt is that then I will become a competitor to my own cousin. :/
That is really a sad scenario. I am sorry for you. When family members are brought in they get a free pass to screw up all they want and no one can confront them or correct them. My own son left a great job for that very reason. I don't suppose you can tell your cousin what you are observing?
Those were my thoughts also, I plan on talking to her about it, if it get's too much worse. I love the guy who is doing the micromanaging also. So I have decided, to take it one day at a time. Let my crew in the back know also that i'm on their side. My plan is to attack it full charge, and get all the little things that he sees not being done, Done, therefore, he will have no reason to micro manage myself, or our employees in the warehouse anymore. And thus, will have to do the job that my cousin told me that he was hired to do. Instead of spending all his time being the helicopter manager. I have very thick skin. So i can weather it. :) Watching your video also helped me, I can tell you are a good leader, and a true manager. :) So thanks for that advice, as it confirms what I was already thinking.
Sounds like a good approach. I wish you great success in your journey
so as an update, i am going to send him the message to him, subtly , by posting videos about micromanaging on my own facebook account, which i already know he has seen. It should lead to a discussion. The worst part is, he tried to tell me to read more books about management, but somehow thinks that it is okay to insult people and i don't even want to repeat his words, to my face. and thinks that is the way to be a leader?? I wonder if he actually bothered to read any of the books he suggested to me. Cause he does not seem to get the basic concept of being a leader at all.
it's sad really.
Question☝️ what if it's the manager who is displaying passive aggressive behaviour to bully subordinates. Like for example, a worker make a trivial error/oversight, and the manager highlights it in an email to the worker but indirectly make an issue of it by copying in more senior people in the organisation who can fire the worker, there by putting fear into the worker as a means of bullying and intimidation. How does the worker deal with such a situation. Please respond. 🙏🏻
That is a very sad situation that I hear about all too often. It is hard to fix a broken boss. I have found that bosses that bully are not open to feedback. Can you get transferred to another division or look for a new job elsewhere?
Hans Finzel thank you.
I think it's awful to have boss like this. I was a temp and this boss hollered at me saying I was doing the work wrong. Its also coming from upper management who alloys this behavior. Very rude and insecure.🤔🙄😒
Oh, my goodness! This video describes my manager exactly. She is so controlling. Can’t stand going to work. I am so miserable I want to leave.
HI Mel. I am soooooo sorry. You are not alone..... so many people feel your pain!!!!!
I'm sitting here wondering why I didn't work for him...
Well that would have been great! By him you mean me?
This sounds like the abuse they give you here in our Vegas casino hotels to all housekeepers...there should never be girls crying going in or out of work everyday it's insane worrying about your job daily. INSANE AND ABUSIVE!!!
I have watched this video again, to remove the germs of micromanagement, from my mind.
Best Regards

Glad to hear it was a help to you!
@@HansFinzel
Thanks Sir
Micromanage until your team members are competent. spot check their work quality and production as many people stop putting in the same effort they started with or have personal issues interfering with work. If you want a profitable business, you need to be involved. Competent hard working people are not in need of micromanagement
Yes I totally agree. We have to manage people according to both their motivation and their competence. Thanks for watching!
Yup, this guy describe my boss .I deal with crap everyday. Its a nightmare.
I feel for you...I really do. I have heard that from many people!
This defines agile .....
Management should be high level control, not micro level. Micro-manager is crazy! Google suggests micro-management should be loose, give team members opportunity to think independently and make independent decisions.
Thanks for the feedback Wutao. I agree with Google! I am glad my video was helpful. Be sure to check out my book, "The Top Ten Mistakes Leaders Make" for lots more great content.
Great!

Problem is micro manger don't care upper management sides with them most of the time
You are so very right! Sad but true.
Walmart needs micro manager
We have new assistant manager
The team reported her to head office because of her being a micromanager. She bring toxic and negative feeling to everyone.
I am so sorry to hear that. Sounds like she needs some serious management training!
I have a MICRO MANAGER!
I’m so sorry to hear that. Seems like a very common problem that I have a passion to address and fix in every leader I meet.
Oh shoot, I'm a micromanager.
So, have you become a delegator after this year?
How is it going for you after realising it?
Hope you've been well
O Jay we are dying to hear!
Wait till you work for a nano-manager! You will love your micro-manager!
Wow that is a new one for me......
Awesome

Sorry I don't!!! But keep on learning!

Guilty as charged
Hopefully you are working on getting over it!!!

Well the first step to improvement is to admit you have a problem. I am glad that this video was helpful. You might want to pick up my new book that was just released that has this topic in it: bit.ly/TopTenBGreatLeader
Doctor Dax most women are
Mackenzie Masek the same ting will happen to you.
I hate this kind of people. I play games when people do stupid things like this.
iloccos did you mean play stupid games win stupid prizes.
I'm dealing with this issue right now, would you care to share some of the games you play?
I get what he is saying. I’m in the situation and it is so bad that I know I have nothing to lose but a job that he doesn’t want me at any way. So I defy him. Along with the mental illness they have you’ll hear some of thee most stupidest sh!t pour out their mouths. They are fools.
Someone is micro managing because the others are too slow or stupid to do the job right
Not always..... sometimes it is the manager that is the stupid one for not trusting people.
NO.
I would just not work for you.
Tell them off. ...
if employees had initiative and are proactive, there would not be a reason to micromanage. with some employees, you give them space to supposedly do their work, what do they do? slack off.
If you check out my book, Top Ten Mistakes Leaders Make, Chapter 6, "Dirty Delegation," I talk about how we have to supervise differently according to the styles of the follower. For sure we need to slack off on the highly motivated and skilled.
The micro managers destroy thier own healths which is good lol
You are so right! But sometimes not fast enough!
