It seemed like a good idea at
the time.
Mostbossesaresohands-offtheymostlydon’tmanageunlesstheyabsolutelymust.
Poor managers typically don’t
emphasize big-picture context,
or help employees
understand the meaning of their work. They tend
not to offer positive feedback
when it’s deserved. And
they fail to provide
constructive criticism or
coaching to help employees
improve and develop
professionally.

pg More people are working in big, bureaucratic organizations.
Bureaucracy creates a significant drag on productivity and organizational resilience and innovation.
The cost of excess bureaucracy in the U.S. economy amounts to more than $3 trillion in lost economic output, or about 17% of GDP.

Harvard Business Review
Micromanagement is an example of poor management where the manager over-manages people unnecessarily. The micromanager monitors and assesses every step. The effect, however, may be to de-motivate employees and create resentment.
- en.wikipedia.org
OverManagement
Micromanagement
• You’re never quite satisfied with deliverables.
• You often feel frustrated because you would’ve gone about the task differently.
• You laser in on the details and take great pride and /or pain in making corrections.
• You constantly want to know where all your team members are and what they’re working on.
• You ask for frequent updates on where things stand.

Ultimately, the under-management epidemic is costing organizations greatly in productivity and quality. Lots of money is being left on the table every day because too many managers are not marshalling the time, the guts, and the skill to take charge and provide the day to day leadership necessary to drive performance and meet employees' needs. So, what are you going to do about it?
