In this episode of Remote Rants, I break down a recent article on Poynter titled, "How to deal with micromanagers in a COVID-19 world."
https://www.poynter.org/business-work/2020/how-to-deal-with-micromanagers-in-a-covid-19-world/
Specifically, I cover:
- Why micromanagement is due to a lack of visibility, not bad intent
- Why you as the employee should do your part to regularly share information and updates
- Why the only sustainable fix for micromanagement is to create clear expectations and regular process
- Why saying things like "you need to trust people" is generally unhelpful
