Thank you for the insightful presentation on micromanagement! You highlighted two important views: the positive aspect where micromanagement shows a boss's care, and the negative aspect where it signals a lack of trust. However, I believe it would be valuable to also consider the Blake and Mouton Managerial Grid and the situational leadership theory. These frameworks suggest that the effectiveness of micromanagement can depend on the context and the specific needs of the team or individual and not 2 aspects; being positive or negative. **1. New Employee Arrival:** When a new employee arrives, the manager provides organizational rules, procedures, and training to ensure that the new employee will perform as expected. At this stage, the manager is more task-oriented and less focused on the individual, indicating that micromanagement is taking place. **Positive Consequences:** - Ensures the new employee understands their role and responsibilities. - Provides clear guidance and reduces initial confusion. - Helps quickly integrate the new employee into the team and processes. **Negative Consequences:** - Can be overwhelming and create a sense of being closely watched. - May limit the new employee's ability to use their initiative and creativity. **2. Skill Development Phase:** As the knowledge is acquired and skills developed, the manager remains oriented on tasks, but their feedback increases. Micromanagement reaches its maximum during this phase. **Positive Consequences:** - Provides consistent feedback, helping the employee improve and refine their skills. - Ensures that tasks are completed correctly and efficiently. - Reinforces learning and builds confidence. **Negative Consequences:** - Can lead to dependency on the manager for approval and guidance. - Might create pressure and stress, reducing job satisfaction. **3. Performance Improvement Phase:** Once the knowledge is gathered and skills developed, the manager's orientation toward tasks should diminish as performance increases. Micromanagement then decreases. **Positive Consequences:** - Encourages autonomy and independent decision-making. - Fosters a sense of trust and empowerment in the employee. - Enhances job satisfaction and motivation. **Negative Consequences:** - If not managed carefully, there might be a risk of reduced oversight leading to mistakes. - The transition from high micromanagement to less supervision needs to be smooth to avoid confusion. **4. Fully Developed Employee:** Finally, when the employee is fully developed and performant, there is minimal or no micromanagement. **Positive Consequences:** - High level of trust and confidence between the manager and employee. - Maximizes employee potential and encourages innovation. - Improves overall job satisfaction and retention. **Negative Consequences:** - Potential risk of complacency if there is no feedback or recognition. - Requires a highly skilled and self-motivated employee to be effective. By considering these stages and their consequences, we can see that micromanagement is not inherently good or bad but needs to be adapted to the development stage of the employee.
i had a worker who only compartamentalized his work with his friends, some genius idea of conventional wisdom was surrounding him by strangers. It was torture watching the bosses idea of how conventional wisdom works.
Let the robots work, learn with the transactions, it is NOT normal to favor a number of individuals, it is called "ugly", and it violates every written and unwritten rule 🆘
Great video! The content is simple and easy to understand. When it comes to mind mapping, new trends have made visualizing ideas much easier. I’ve come across some cool tools like MindMeister, Creately, and MindDraw for creating mind maps. I’ve used all three from time to time, but my favourite in recent times is Creately because of the many functions they offer in their free account, which helped me a lot in my university projects. Knowing about these concepts, you can use such tools to visually present your ideas effectively.
I am So thankful for this video. Please pray for the feeling of Appreciation for me as I manifest my biggest dreams. Today I am breaking generational curses and coming out of agreement with lack, poverty, financial bondage and debt. I come into agreement with the feeling of Appreciation, abundance, wealth, fortunes, good health and great healthy relationships with the Father God Jehovah Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. I am always on the same frequency and vibration of Appreciation in the blood of Jesus and in Jesus Mighty name. Amen!🙏🏽 ❤ 🙏🏽 Thank you Father God❤️
