One of the clear statements about micromanagement is that micromanagers control outcomes and not people. It might be valid to some extent, but we believe in looking at things from different perspectives. The common belief is that the word has a negative connotation. And why not?

When employees are spending 40+ hours a week in a place they feel trapped, they aren’t showing up each day as the best version of themselves (and before long, they may not show up at all).
