The biggest problem with micromanagement is that you&#x27;re making it about you rather than whatever your goal is. It&#x27;s not so much that you&#x27;re making your team miserable (though you may be), but that you&#x27;re making their goal keeping you happy rather than achieving whatever objective you have. Those two things might be closely aligned, and then the result might be ok, but if they aren&#x27;t, things are going to go bad. Effectively you&#x27;re making your team be as good as you are rather than as good as they could be.
