 Working for a boss that doesn't let you think for yourself is frustrating and career limiting. Turn the situation into one where your boss trusts you and lets you solve problems independently of them by building trust and demonstrating capability. This is great for how to win with micromanaging boss. 

I have 4 tried and tested ways for how to get a micro managing boss to trust you. 

Firstly, it is critical to understand exactly what your boss wants from you. Ask for specific and clear goals and expectations. If your boss doesn’t provide these, then create them yourself and get their approval. This is critical for how to survive a micromanager. I share additional vital tips for how to get really valuable goals to your boss.

Second, start overcommunicating to your micromanaging boss. Tell them exactly what you are doing and what you plan to do. There are ton of ways that you can do this. The more you communicate, the more you alleviate their fears and insecurities (if relevant) and the more trust you build. 

Third, when manager that doesn't give you any autonomy and you are overcommunicating and meeting expectations, start educating your boss on how they can get more from you. This is a particularly good approach when your boss has recently become a manager for the first time. 

If you have a boss that treats you like a robot, the fourth approach is to consistently overdeliver. Doing a good job is only half the battle. To turn performance into trust I share a couple of vital steps too many team members miss out doing. This build trust quickly and reduces micromanagement just as quickly. 

You absolutely can reduce micromanagement. Take the proactive steps I share, and it will happen faster than you expect.
