Micromanagement

Micromanagement is viewed negatively in the business environment, depicting a scenario where a team leader excessively controls the actions of their employees. Cynthia, as a team leader in the New York team, faced this issue, with her team members feeling stifled by her constant supervision. Some team members decided to address the matter with higher management, leading to the realization that Cynthia indeed engaged in micromanagement. As a result, the management took action and enrolled Cynthia in a leadership course that emphasized the significance of trust in fellow workers. Through this course, Cynthia learned the value of empowering her team members and fostering an environment of trust and autonomy, ultimately transforming her leadership style for the better.
