You’ve heard us lecture about one of the greatest management transgressions with some frequency: Micromanagement. But we’ve never really defined it for you. What exactly is micromanagement? If you don’t know what it is, how can you avoid tripping over it?

Please tune in this week as Wayne describes eight specific micromanagement behaviors. Have we all been guilty at one time or another of micromanaging our people? Probably so. But knowing the eight cardinal misbehaviors should help considerably. What do you think? Did we catch them all, or are there other micromanagement behaviors out there? Please email your thoughts to Wayne at [email protected].
