Is micro management effective?

Question

I am trying to maximize profit and minimize cost.

Answer 1

I can sum this up in a piece of advice a very successful management expert told me:

Most managers thing they're the quarterback. They're not. They're the coach.

Answer 2

if you have employees that goof off allot yea but other wise if you micromanage them all your going to do is p**s them off

I was micro manages for 3 months in a job I did for 8 years and was d**n good at it due to the new managers micromanagement ways I quit .

I felt I was an adult and to be managed that way was telling me I was to immature to do it on my own or I wasn't trustworthy .

sorry for the rambling but point being is if you know they can do the job give them there task and ask them to let you know when they are done leave the rest to them
