Answer 1

Micro-management or micro-administration is a style of management whereby the manager or administrator attempts to control every part of a detail or situation in the business. For such reasons, the employees are likely to be demoralized, quit, and creates burnout in working teams. For managers, the situation can be prevented by delegating duties, encourage employee decision-making and consulting, focusing on the results not steps, and letting employees learn from their mistakes.
