6 big dangers of micromanagement

Micromanagement: Everyone knows the term. Some fear and even avoid any company that’s associated with the word. But what is it, really?

It’s a way for management to ensure that tasks are performed in a very precise manner – in other words, management’s way. Problem is, this isn’t always the right – or most productive – way of doing things. And that’s just one of the issues with micromanagement.
