WHY MANAGERS MICROMANAGE
1/ They superstitiously believe that their successes of the past was caused by an attention to details (whereas it’s random correlation)
2/ They are afraid to be clear on what they need so they must micromanage instead.

2/ They are afraid to be clear on what they need so they must micromanage instead.
3/ They have a fragile position and cannot allow any minimal mistake.
That’s problematic, because things will go wrong. Better to create trust and have frequent honest communication so that problems can’t grow too much.

4/ In the past, they delegated without following up with progress updates, they discovered a problem too late and got burned.
Then, they learned the wrong lesson: instead of frequent progress updates, micromanagement.
