Maybe you are one.The Micromanager's Manifesto is written entirely from inside its own logic - presenting the complete doctrine of micromanagement with a straight face, meticulous structure, and just enough absurdity to make the truth impossible to miss.It's the business book that uses humor to say what every employee survey has always said: this management style is costing everyone something."A team that thinks for itself is a team that is, structurally speaking, managed by itself. And a team that manages itself does not need a manager.
