By Ron Ashkenas | 1:02 PM November 15, 2011 Over the past few decades I’ve worked with hundreds of managers, and many complain that they work for micromanagers. But strangely I don’t recall anyone who ever admitted to being one. I was thinking about this incongruity while working with a group of senior managers from a manufacturing division who were trying to streamline their operational reporting processes. During the meeting, the team listed their various monthly reports and the review meetings that accompanied them. From the discussion it became clear that the same data was being sliced, diced, and formatted in many ways and then being checked and rechecked by a variety of managers at different levels. None of the senior managers found this process productive, and they knew that their people complained about being “micromanaged to death.”
So if nobody’s waking up in the morning intending to be a micromanager, then why do people still feel micromanaged?
