How Micro-management Destroys Your Team

We all know how micro-managers suffocate their reportees. Well, there's another phenomenon which is equally as bad.

Lean-beans.

Say what?

Employees that require constant hand-holding and overly rely on others to help them out with virtually every task.

"Lean beans" have a tendency to prematurely surrender & declare a bottleneck.

They fail to put in any effort or due diligence to find a solution themselves.

Hence, they "lean" on managers & peers to figure out everything for them until the work at hand is made trivial.

Close inspection often reveals that majority of their issues are resolved by a Google query or simple hit and trial.

Don't be a micro-manager.

Don't be a lean bean.
