Restore Your Confidence When Dealing with a Micromanager

Love Your Work Life with Elissa Shuck

Every poll I post on LinkedIn about toxic behaviors, micro management comes up as number one. So, I decided to ask why people micromanage. 12,000 votes cast and hundreds of comments later, it's clear this is still a problem and it's extremely demoralizing. Restoring confidence in this situation involves tracking progress and accomplishments, reminding yourself that it's not about you, and managing your thoughts.

By tracking your achievements and recognizing your success, you can validate yourself and restore confidence. Reminding yourself that micromanaging behavior is not a reflection of your abilities can also help restore confidence. Managing your thoughts and intentionally choosing positive thoughts can shift your feelings and behaviors.

Finally, it's important to assume that the micromanager will not change and focus on how you want to show up in the situation.

>> Remind yourself that micromanaging behavior is not about you and does not reflect your abilities.

>> Manage your thoughts and intentionally choose positive thoughts to shift your feelings and behaviors.
