I think micromanagers are insecure because they don t trust their team. They only have one move, which is tell me what you're gonna do next and let me tell you what to do next. That creates a bottleneck. A true manager is supposed to design the tools the team needs to get unblocked. They're not supposed to sit there and do the work, they're supposed to create the environment for the person to win.
