@missclairebenjamin: 🚨Handling the MICROMANAGER 👇 ▶️ Having a micromanager can feel very irritating and difficult to navigate. 🧠 In an ideal world no one would micromanage. As you can’t unfortunately control or change your manager, I would encourage you to focus on influencing them. 💡 There are two reasons managers usually micromanage which are helpful to understand: 1️⃣ Feeling like they need to be in control of everything. Some people feel very anxious if they aren’t in control. Not excusing it- simply providing insight as knowing this can help you navigate the situation. 2️⃣ The manager feeling they can’t fully trust you (this might not be because of anything you have done). It takes time and effort to build trust and it has to go both ways. 💡Building trust is critical with micromanagers- if you can build trust the chances are the manager will start releasing control. 🚨 I would NOT recommend using the word micromanager or telling them they’re micromanaging you. Although this is true, it will cause defensiveness as shown in this video and when someone is defensive the conversation is unlikely to have a good outcome. 🔥 Instead focus on the impact of their behaviour, how you’re feeling and what you’d like to see change to allow you to work at your best. As shown in part 2 of this video. 📌 Please remember the advice offered in this video is generalised. You know your situation better than anyone else so trust your instincts, if this doesn’t fit your situation ignore it.
