Micromanagement - Learn how to avoid it!

Mind Tools - Micromanagement

From MindTools.com - Yet another great article about management and leadership.

“”Micromanagement restricts the ability of micromanaged people to develop and grow, and it also limits what the micromanager’s team can achieve….[See the Key Points]“

” You’ve assigned an important task to a talented employee, and given him a deadline. Now, do you let him do his work and simply touch base with him at pre-defined points along the way - or do you keep dropping by his desk and sending e-mails to check his progress?If it’s the latter, you might be a micromanager. Or, if you’re the harried worker trying to make a deadline with a boss hovering at your shoulder, you might have a micromanager on your hands - someone who just can’t let go of tiny details.Micromanagers take perfectly positive attributes - an attention to detail and a hands-on attitude - to the extreme.

Success Connections: Censor Your Critical Comments

Success Connections: Censor Your Critical Comments - This is a really article i stumbled across and i can relate to some of the things in it so much that i just couldn’t resist telling you about one of my many experiences that turned out to be a priceless one.

———–

Somewhere at the end of 2005, when EU went through a very critical decision of retaining the data of 450 million Europeans for 1 year or more, i reached to a very dear friend of mine and asked him to sign the petition against it - a petition that despite being signed by a huge number of people was still approved.

When my friend, i will call him M. said he can’t sign it and gave me his reasons, i suddenly became very furious and very critical to his job, to his choices.

It’s very easy to shift feelings as i did and disregard what i always believed in and ruled my simple life by: People are entitled to choices and in most cases we are in no position to blame, judge or throw critiques. We don’t have that right.

Back to the request….
