Hi I’m Neela And I Was A Micromanager.

<p>Micromanagement is when you hire smart, creative people for your company and then crush their souls.<br /> <br /> First by telling them what font to use and then by questioning why their bathroom break was 1.5 minutes longer than usual.</p> <p>(This wasn&rsquo;t me &mdash; I knew a guy)&nbsp;</p> <p>If we understand that micromanaging doesn&rsquo;t work well, why do we still do it?</p> <p>Is it because my understanding is incorrect, or is it that we prefer to hire people who lack enthusiasm and creativity?<br /> <br /> Stay with me here!</p> <p>Using myself as an example.<br /> <br /> ↳ I get hired into an organization<br /> ↳ I start at the very bottom.<br /> ↳ I work really hard.<br /> ↳ I get rewarded.<br /> ↳ How?<br /> ↳ With more work of course.<br /> ↳ I am crushing it!<br /> ↳ I get promoted.<br /> ↳ Congratulations &mdash; I am a manager.<br /> ↳ I&rsquo;m still doing the work and managing five other humans.<br /> ↳ I am crushing that too!<br /> ↳ Guess what happens?<br /> ↳ I start managing the people who manage the people doing the work, and it&rsquo;s at that point in time, I start losing control over the output of my job.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@neelasingh/hi-im-neela-and-i-was-a-micromanager-cdd6af10c2d7"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
