314 Micromanagement

from Workplace Psychology with Dr. Martha Grajdek · host Martha Grajdek, PhD, MBA

Micromanagement: The Control Trap That Quietly Kills PerformanceIn this episode, Dr. Grajdek unpacks micromanagement as a trust-and-clarity problem disguised as “high standards,” showing how constant checking, redoing work, and approval bottlenecks erode autonomy and motivation. She explores why micromanagers micromanage—often anxiety, fear of accountability, and unclear expectations—and how the fallout spreads across teams through slowed cycle times, hidden errors, and disengagement. Dr. Grajdek offers a practical fix and scripts employees can use to request clarity and autonomy without confrontation.
