227. How Kind People Accidentally Start Micromanaging


Listen Later

Why would a kind person start micromanaging people, even when they care deeply and want to do a good job? It happens more often than you might think! And it's often by accident.

Anyone can drift towards micromanaging. In today's episode, find out why this happens, and what you can do about it.
