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.

별짓

어제 사서 감추어가지고 온 귀걸이를 아침에 내밀었다
아이 뭘
쫑알대며 받아서 걸어보는 너의 귀가 조그만 나비처럼 예뻤다

점심때 함께 식사하고 나오며 네 신발을 가지런히 돌려주었다
아이 뭘
신을 신는 너의 두 발이 꼭 포유동물의 눈 못 뜬 새끼들처럼 귀여웠다

오후에 가게에서 소프트아이스크림을 사들고 뛰어와 너에게 주었다
아이 뭘
아이스크림을 베어 무는 너의 입술이 하늘붕어처럼 사랑스러웠다

아이 뭘...
내가 별짓을 다한다.
