Sometimes, you find yourself just indulged in Micro-Managing certain things. Do you believe PM's should be involved in Micro Management when the Team is there and why. Thanks.

No, I don't think they should micromanage. Certainly more junior team members may need more guidance and direction - but that shouldn't be confused with micromanaging.

I agree with you Gina. This is why I wrote a blog later on because I noticed that many are being confused between micromanagement and training or Problem Solving.

Many reactions and very interesting to this topic. Micro-management is definitely something to avoid at all costs. Not only it may create conflict among project stakeholders or team members, but it is also highly inefficient. A PM shall not be a One-Man-Show, but the orchestra director.
