Micromanaging is horrible. It’s an experience that no employee likes to go through. While sometimes it is unavoidable, there are other times that, that is just the leader’s management style. If you are currently being micromanaged and you are not able to handle it well, I’ve got the best tips for you. Below, I’ll teach you got to handle a micromanaging boss and what you need to do to ensure that you become exempt.

1. Eliminate any possibility that they should micromanage you

Micromanaging can become toxic quickly. However, that is some leaders management style. If you find yourself under a micro-manager leader, it can be tough on you. There are some things that you want to take into consideration, such as keeping a track record of your time, being proactive (which we’ll get into next) and just generally, staying on top of everything.

2. Be proactive

Dynamic people when you are being micromanaged can eliminate any worry that your leader might have. Micro-managers want to be in control, they have a fear of not being in control, and they want to complete every single project that they can themselves but know that they need help. That means that to head this off, you need to proactively be sending your manager updates and pull together an email outlining everything you’ve accomplished the day before.

3. Anticipate what they want

Finally, you want to predict exactly what your leader is looking for. Make sure that anything extra is on your radar and try to bridge the gap of trust. Once you gain your leaders trust, you will see a difference in how they manage you, and the micromanaging should stop.

Now that you know exactly how to stop someone from micromanaging you, have you ever experienced it? Share your experience!
