Dealing with a micromanaging boss who wants to know every detail of your work? For high performers, constant scrutiny can feel insulting, especially when you were hired for your expertise and experience.

In this episode, Fela Rosa explains how to assess the situation, identify whether your manager is insecure, under pressure, or using micromanagement as a toxic strategy. You’ll also learn how to run a simple two or three week experiment that could help you build more trust and autonomy. The goal is not to win against your boss.
