How To Be A Better Manager
December 2025 Manager Tip 4: The Micromanager
Lately, it feels like everywhere we turn, we’re hearing about *bad bosses.* But here’s a real question: **are you unintentionally becoming one?** This month, we’re diving into a leadership trap many fall into without even realizing it—**micromanaging.** Some of you may not yet see these behaviors in yourselves, while others may be feeling the weight of micromanagement from above.
A *micromanager* is a supervisor who overcontrols and over-observes, zeroing in on minor details, struggling to delegate, and demanding constant updates. It often stems from fear or lack of trust, and it ultimately suffocates autonomy, creativity, morale, and growth. Micromanagers hover over tasks, inject themselves into every decision, and sometimes redo work entirely—blocking their teams from learning, owning their roles, and gaining confidence. The result? Inefficient processes, frustration, and unnecessary work for everyone involved.
So why do smart, well-intentioned managers slip into micromanagement? Common drivers include fear, lack of trust, a need for control, or simply repeating leadership modeled from the top.
Here’s how to break the cycle and become a more empowering leader:
1. **Build self-awareness.** Asking your team for feedback can feel daunting, but using a simple Start–Stop–Continue framework makes it easier—and earns trust in the process.
2. **Delegate with intention.** Be clear about deadlines, expectations, and success criteria.
3. **Set expectations without dictating the “how.”** Your way may work well for you, but there are often multiple paths to excellent results. Explain key nuances and required steps so your team understands the “why,” not just the “what.”
4. **Release perfectionism.** With technology and workflows constantly evolving, your employees need space to experiment, innovate, and improve efficiency.
5. **Hire and develop the right people.** Ensure team members have the skills they need—or invest in building them.
If you’re looking to grow your leadership skills or support your managers, we’re here with guidance, tools, and practical techniques to help you lead with confidence, not control.
