Series 3, Episode 22: Why would anyone be a micromanager? with Professor Catherine Deen, University of New South Wales Canberra
Wed Jan 28 2026
A 2020 article by the polling firm, Gallup, argued that:
“The micromanager has become a bit of a boogeyman in the business world. Nobody wants to work for one. Few managers want to be one. Everyone has a horror story about one.”
To explore the topic of micromanagement and its implications I am delighted to be joined by Dr Catherine Deen.
