Micromanaging, unless it’s a result of a mental-health issue, is a reaction to feeling unsafe. If you have a client or team member who micromanages you, whether all the time, or periodically, it’s likely for one of these reasons: You’ve dropped enough balls that she doesn’t believe you’ll do what needs to be done unless she watches you like a hawk.
