## Resource

Micromanagement has always frustrated people. But I believe today's workplace may actually be making it worse. In this episode of Remarkable TV, I explore why modern work environments are increasing the pressure leaders feel to micromanage—and what we can do instead. In this episode, I talk about: Why poor leadership preparation still matters How remote and hybrid work increase micromanagement tendencies The role of technology, dashboards, Slack, and Teams Why complexity creates control-driven leadership How declining trust impacts workplace behavior What accountability really means for leaders If you've ever felt micromanaged—or worried you might be doing it yourself—I think this conversation will help you better understand the causes and move toward healthier leadership habits.
