Tips for Dealing with Micromanagement in the Workplace: Best Practices

I enjoy talking and networking with people on personal and professional levels. Recently, I had a conversation with a friend who was being micromanaged at work. She shared her experience and how she managed to turn the situation around. She used micromanaging as a tool to improve her skills, asked for additional training and meetings, and wrote down every word her manager said to avoid any misunderstandings. She also kept her manager updated on her progress and completed all tasks to her manager's standards. While everyone responds to micromanagement differently, it can have negative effects on employees, such as reduced motivation, low morale, and stress.

If you're a micromanager, it's important to know your intent and create a healthy work environment for your team. For employees who are being micromanaged, it's important to ask questions, document everything, complete tasks to the best of your ability, and ask for constructive feedback. By being receptive to feedback and taking steps to improve, you can overcome micromanagement and thrive in your career.
