About this product

Product Information

What is micro management? More importantly, what can be done about it? In "My Way or the Highway", Harry Chambers proves that micromanagement can be objectively identified and successfully resisted both by those who inflict it and by those who are its victims. In an informal, entertaining style, Chambers describes five specific defining traits of micromanagers: placing their own self interest above everything else; controlling and manipulating time; attempting to determine exactly how everything must be done; requiring elaborate approval processes; and establishing dysfunctional monitoring and reporting requirements.

Good guide for those who are micromananged
What I liked about this book is that it goes beyond the cliques for real insight in to why a boss micromanages. Gives some helpful information to help avoid some pitfalls when with dealing with your micromanager. In the end, you may have to leave your job because your boss isn't going to change. Interesting case studies. Quick read.
