Have you ever been micromanaged before?

The majority of us have experienced being micromanaged at some point in our lives whether at home, in school, or at work. Too much oversight or too much direction from a leader, boss, parent, coach, or whoever it may be, can make us feel stifled and unmotivated. While many of us can’t stand being micromanaged, have you ever wondered if you micromanage others without even realizing it?

In today’s episode, I discuss how to tell if you are a micromanager or “accidental diminisher”. I explain what I’ve learned about accidentally micromanaging from Liz Wiseman books and articles and what helped me to recognize when I was accidentally diminishing others’ capabilities.

Tune in to learn what a multiplier and a diminisher are, the five signs that you might be an accidental diminisher, and how you can become a multiplier!
