Are you a micromanager? Odds are, if you manage other people you have at least some micromanaging traits. It’s hard to avoid.
The problem is, it hurts your team. Your employees are looking to grow and develop, and micromanaging stunts their growth. Stunt them long enough, and they’ll leave.
And to replace them can cost you 50% to 200% of the employee’s salary. Yikes!
So take the quiz and find out how much of a micromanager you are. Hopefully, you’ll discover that you’re a star.
Of course, there’s the other side, too. You may find out you’re a completely over-the-top Control Freak.
Good luck!
