2. By definition, micromanagement is
a management style whereby a
manager closely observes or
controls the work of subordinates or
employees.

3. Problem 01: Loss of control
When you micromanage your staff, you start giving
up the effectiveness of any available management
tool. And when that happens you end up losing
control and the ability to communicate well with
your team.

4. Problem 02: Loss of trust
Micromanagement will lead to a massive
breakdown of trust since your staff will no longer
see you as a manager, but a tyrant.

5. Problem 03: Dependent employees
Micromanagement makes your team feel like they
can no longer handle the work without constant
guidance, setting up a dependable relationship.

6. Problem 04: Your own burnout
You should be aware that micromanaging is
extremely exhausting. It demands a lot of work
since checking subordinates and their activities it is
not an easy task.

7. Problem 05: High staff turnover
It is well-known that most people don’t take well
to being micromanaged. When employees are
micromanaged, they often do one thing; quit.
