"When Your New Boss Is a Micromanager" - Harvard Business Review
https://hbr.org/2024/06/when-your-new-boss-is-a-micromanager
Building a relationship with a new boss can feel daunting, and it can be especially difficult if you feel like you’re being micromanaged. In this article, the writer talks with two experts about what to do in this demotivating situation. The first step is to figure out what’s behind your boss’s micromanaging tendencies. Maybe they’re genuinely trying to help, but their methods and cadence don’t match your work style or expectations. Once you’ve got a better grip on your boss’s motivations and gotten feedback on your own performance, focus on establishing credibility. If despite your best efforts nothing seems to be changing — especially if you believe your boss is intentionally sabotaging your work — experts say that unfortunately, there’s not much else you can do. It might be best to start searching for a new job, either within your organization or elsewhere.

when people tell you to do something and you do it and then they start telling you how to do it better
like...I will just fucking stop doing it and walk away
if you're gonna be petty, I'm gonna be pettier
Its always interesting when a boss gives me an assignment and then proceeds to do the assignment and forwards me their work as a template. I take it and put it in my own words, edit out what I don't think is neessary and they get all butt hurt. I'm told it is called mentoring.
The main issue with #micromanaging a #team isn't the direct consequences of the decisions you make. You might have the right decision, even.
But it's the downstream effects that kill.
Every time you cross that line, overriding someone's autonomy, the team loses a little bit of their sense of ownership over their work, their sense of self-determination, their will to put in effort and strive for better, their motivation. They shut their brains and hearts off and just do as they're told.
Elon Musk wants to approve all new hires personally.
This level of micromanagement tells me he doesn't trust the people he hired to do the job of hiring... If he couldn't do a good job hiring them, why does he think he will hire the right people for the rest of the company?
Hire the best people and let them do their jobs.
