A list of the Benefits of Micro-Managing your staff! Before listing all the benefits of being a micro-manager, I will itemize a few characteristics of this management style. If these traits sound a little like your personal management style, probably your team has labeled you a “micro-manager!”
- Micromanagers regularly ask employees to keep him informed of everything, every detail.
- A micromanager digs into the fine points and details of his employees’ work.
- Micromanagers often ask where is everyone on his team and what are they doing.
- A micromanager regularly feels frustrated because he knows that he could have done the job much better!

- A micromanager frequently lets his staff know that he is not pleased with their work product or production.
