Micromanagement is a leadership style characterized by excessive oversight and control over subordinates' work processes. It involves closely monitoring and directing employees' actions, often to the detriment of their autonomy, initiative, and morale. Micromanagers tend to delegate tasks without providing sufficient authority or resources, and they frequently intervene in the details of work execution. This behavior can lead to decreased job satisfaction, reduced productivity, and hindered employee development. Effective leadership, in contrast, empowers employees by setting clear expectations, providing necessary support, and fostering a culture of trust and autonomy. By delegating appropriately and offering constructive feedback, leaders can create an environment where employees feel valued, motivated, and capable of achieving their full potential.

Micromanagement can manifest in various forms, including:

-Constantly checking on employees' progress, questioning every decision, and demanding frequent updates.

-Taking over tasks that should be delegated, providing unnecessary levels of detail, and interfering with employees' work processes.

-Exhibiting a distrustful attitude towards employees, assuming incompetence, and withholding necessary information.

-Failing to provide clear expectations, offering inconsistent feedback, and creating a climate of fear and uncertainty.

Employees may experience decreased job satisfaction, reduced motivation, and a decline in overall performance. Micromanagement can stifle creativity, innovation, and teamwork, hindering organizational growth and success. To counteract the negative effects of micromanagement, organizations should prioritize leadership development, empower employees, and establish clear performance expectations.

Effective leaders focus on creating a supportive and empowering environment where employees can thrive and contribute to the organization's goals.

EL NOPAL.

... 
Как-то на чердаке мы нашли деревянную чёрную шкатулку. На крышке её медными буквами была выложена английская надпись: «Эдинбург. Шотландия. Делал мастер Гальвестон».
Шкатулку принесли в комнаты, осторожно вытерли с неё пыль и открыли крышку. Внутри были медные валики с тонкими стальными шипами. Около каждого валика сидела на бронзовом рычажке медная стрекоза, бабочка или жук.

Это была музыкальная шкатулка. Мы завели её, но она не играла. Напрасно мы нажимали на спинки жуков, мух и стрекоз – шкатулка была испорчена.

За вечерним чаем мы заговорили о таинственном мастере Гальвестоне. Все сошлись на том, что это был весёлый пожилой шотландец в клетчатом жилете и кожаном фартуке. Во время работы, обтачивая в тисках медные валики, он, наверное, насвистывал песенку о почтальоне, чей рог поёт в туманных долинах, и девушке, собирающей хворост в горах. Как все хорошие мастера, он разговаривал с теми вещами, которые делал, и рассказывал им их будущую жизнь. Но, конечно, он никак не мог догадаться, что эта чёрная шкатулка попадёт из-под бледного шотландского неба в пустынные леса за Окой, в деревню, где только одни петухи поют, как в Шотландии, а всё остальное совсем не похоже на эту далёкую северную страну.
