Is micromanaging really the best way to improve performance?

When I work with new managers, it is very common that they are micromanaging at least one member of their team. Hardly anyone wants to admit that they are doing this, and it can be hard to see at first. This video explores why we tend to fall into a habit of micromanaging and what you can do about it.

The truth is that micromanaging almost always disempowers team members and limits development. In the video I explain why this is true and explore a couple examples of famous micromanagers and why they could get away with it.
