Do you HATE being micromanaged by your boss?
If you can’t escape your manager’s excessive control, then maybe you are making these 3 mistakes at work:
- You are not proactive: If you don’t reach out early to drive projects and let your manager plan everything, you are giving up your autonomy.
- You overcommit: If you keep missing deadlines you lose your manager’s trust and they have no choice but to micromange you.
- You don’t set boundaries: If you don’t clearly communicate your tasks and progress, your manager will assume you’re confused and will have to interfere.
You can reduce micromanagement by simply building trust with your manager.
