2-MINUTE SELF-CHECK

Are you a micromanager? A 2-minute self-check

Most micromanagers do not know they are doing it. Answer these eight questions honestly about the last month.

  1. I ask for updates on work before it is due.

  2. I redo or heavily rewrite work my team has finished.

  3. I need to be copied on most emails.

  4. Decisions in my team wait for me.

  5. I tell people how to do a task, not just what the outcome should be.

  6. I feel anxious when I do not know exactly what everyone is working on.

  7. My team checks with me before small decisions.

  8. I find it faster to do things myself.
