Micromanagement
We seem to be living in a world where senior management has changed from the grand strategic overview and of ensuring that business or even accountancy takes a common sense approach to the present and to the future. We still do have road maps and other isms but the extent of micromanagement is almost overwhelming. The fact that it then goes to de-motivate or create an even bigger blame culture is seemingly irrelevant to what lower management and the general employees and population have to endure but maybe some day delegation and responsibility will revert. Today, however, it is why be a middle manager.
