remote work & micromanagement

In this episode of Remote Rants, I break down a recent article on Poynter titled, "How to deal with micromanagers in a COVID-19 world."

https://www.poynter.org/business-work/2020/how-to-deal-with-micromanagers-in-a-covid-19-world/

Specifically, I cover:  

Why micromanagement is due to a lack of visibility, not bad intent 
Why you as the employee should do your part to regularly share information and updates
Why the only sustainable fix for micromanagement is to create clear expectations and regular process
Why saying things like "you need to trust people" is generally unhelpful
