> “One of the biggest lessons in management over the last decade is that micromanagement is bad. But I think this is an anti-pattern, because it creates disengaged and context-free leadership"
Alternative from my experience, it creates trust. If you want employees to trust leadership, leadership needs to trust its employees. Simple as that.
Leadership needs to be clear on what its asking from their employees, but that means clear goals and specifications with context for why it matters.
At the end of the day every employee is different. Its a mistake to assume one approach will work for everyone, but the idea of leaning into micromanaging as the way feels really misguided IMO, unless you want the kind of culture that promotes.
