Micromanaging Boss? How To Work Past Them And Move Forward
Almost everyone runs across a micromanager at some point in their career, and we all know how stifling it can be. Having a boss who constantly needs to be updated, sweats the small details to a fault, or is just generally too controlling can suck the productivity out of a work environment, but there are ways around it!
Start by opening your lines of communication more. If you keep your boss updated proactively, he/she won’t feel compelled to call or chat you constantly. Ask questions, and log feedback often, so that you are always abundantly clear on your managers desires.
It is inevitable that there will be some amount of friction, but if you follow these simple steps, both your productivity at work and your relationship with your boss are likely to improve!
