The term "micromanagement" may sound like corporate jargon, but in fact it refers to a very real problem that exists in businesses ranging from local coffee shops to multinational conglomerates. Essentially it refers to the inability or reluctance of managers to delegate, meaning that they pretty much manage their employees' every move and thus create a culture of distrust.
Micromanagement can arise for a number of reasons, but most of the time employees do not like being micromanaged and it should be avoided wherever possible.
