Sommario/riassunto

Shows that micromanagement can be objectively identified and successfully resisted both by those who inflict it and by those who are its victims. This book describes five defining traits of micromanagers including: placing their own self interest above everything else; controlling and manipulating time; and requiring elaborate approval processes.
