How can I tell if I'm a micromanager?

Q: How can I tell if I'm a micromanager?

A: Continuous exhaustion. A sign that you're micromanaging: exhaustion. Not tiredness – we all feel tired working hard in new ways, combating COVID-19, addressing the searing issues of racial injustice. But if you're continually exhausted, it's likely you are doing the work of others, mistrusting their capabilities, feeling angry and frustrated yet not looking inward. Micromanagement is disruptive for all, including you.
