What would you propose as an alternative?
In an alternative universe, ZCW101 is complaining that they said "eliminate micromanagement" and that person is arguing that sometimes you simply have to micromanage and eliminating it is unrealistic but they should have said something about minimizing it. And then someone complains that some is necessary and you should only minimize the unnecessary parts.
Anyway, my real point is that the summary necessarily only captures the data in an inexact manner and if you are interested you can dive in. The real point is that some % of people feel micromanaged and it is a large point.
By the way, even that point is a summary.

- zcw100 4y agoWhen you need to project into an alternate universe you know you've got a weak argument. Micromanagement is a negative thing regardless of if you think the person needs and deserves it. You're not going to find anyone out there that says, "They really let me down. I mean I didn't want a lot of it but I didn't even get a little micromanagement. I'm really looking for this goldilocks micromanagement. Not too much, not too little, but just the right amount".
- omarhaneef 4y agoWell, I think this is what they call a semantic argument. All of us want the right "resolution" of management. Some people might say the right level of micromanagement (in your example, the goldilocks micromanagement). You may say anything that is "too detailed" is "micromanagement" by definition. I am not saying you are wrong, but I am saying that as long as we agree on the underlying reality, I don't much care what you call it.
