You are a manager with that high end MBA degree from one of those coveted institutes, and you are trying to make that big difference in the corporate world using all the management terms you have learnt in your B school. You micro manage everything, give all the attention that details require and take the granular approach. You are doing everything you can to help your employees become more efficient and smart...and still you might feel that people are unhappy - that whatever you’re doing isn’t working. There is another way.
Despite a wide variety of management styles, most managers are categorized in two ways. Either they haven’t micromanaged, and most have micromanaged somebody sometime. Some signs of micromanagement may be:

While delegating a task, you actually feel the need to specify on how it should be done.

You’re so busy that you procrastinate frequently, while people wait for your feedback or approval.

If these points fit you then you’re coping in the best way you can with the shortcomings of the people you supervise, but if their incompetence is the issue then micromanaging is not the right way to deal with it. The answer is proper training, transfer of work, Training, transfer, reassignment or replacement of bottleneck are the solutions. You need to think out of the box. Here are a few things you can do to better the situation.

Have quiet conversations with yourself and explain yourself to be easy on people and understand the bigger picture.

Do a follow-up check .Keep improving yourself with regular sincere feedback from you close friends at work.

While adapting to these changes make sure you don’t micromanage yourself. Focus not on how you change, but on what you change. Make yourself an example of a manager who can micromanage but is not a micromanager.
