Micromanagement
- This page deals with micromanagement in business management. For information about micromanagement in strategy computer games, see micromanagement (computer gaming).
In business management, micromanagement is an example of poor management where the manager over-manages people unnecessarily. Instead of giving people general instructions and then allowing them to do their job, the micromanager monitors and assesses every step. The manager may be motivated by concern for details. The effect, however, may be to de-motivate employees and create resentment.
