Micro management and contradictions

Every manager has his and her own way of managing the people they supervise and those on their team, but those that micro manage seem to forget that the people working under them are in their position because they are equipped for it. If you don't think someone qualifies for a position then it is your job to make sure you hire someone who is capable of doing the job.

Micro managers also have this ridiculous ability to contradict themselves. If you tell one of your workers something but then turn around and say something opposite, then you shouldn't be surprised if your workers undermine you. Everyone makes a mistake, which is natural and expected, but you should be able to recognize your mistake and not put all the pressure on your workers. You should make sure people know that you understand their job and that you're there to help them succeed In their position and not add to their frustration.
