- ricardobeat 11y agoWhat I meant is that "excessive attention to detail" is bad by definition.
- danieltillett 11y agoYes, but what is considered excessive is situationally and person dependent. The point I was trying to make was that close attention to detail can be a powerful tool to solve a short term issues, but it comes at a high cost in the long term. I am not arguiging for micromanagement as the default management style you should use, but it should be a tool every manager can draw on in the right situation.
