Top Motivational Speaker And Bestselling Author Rocky Romanella Reveals How Micromanagement Hurts Turnover Rates And How To Identify The Culprits In Your Company

Romanella's best-selling book, Tighten The Lug Nuts, was recently ranked #1 in Business Leadership and Business Management. Rocky is a former CEO with over 40 years of experience and has developed a new podcast, The Leadership Library Podcast



    WILMINGTON, NC, May 19, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ -- We've all experienced that situation in which our creativity has been stifled, our enthusiasm for an idea dismissed, our outside-the-box thinking crushed by - a micromanager. For some of us it is annoying, for others it's a serious problem that can lead to the decision to move on. But it goes much deeper than that.

In a recent newsletter Rocky Romanella, top motivational speaker and author of the best-selling book, Tighten The Lug Nuts, offered some insight on how micromanagement affects turnover rates and how to identify situations in which micromanagement has become a real problem. In that piece he wrote, in part:

"While micromanagers themselves are frustrating and sometimes impossible to work for, these managers aren't always the obvious reason why an employee quits. Employees become irate enough to leave when micromanagers run rampant in the company, and no one, above them, puts a stop to it. If people were completely honest on their exit interview, they would tell you this and add, "I could not wait any longer for you to address this issue." In other words, the CEO or senior staff is just as responsible as the person doing the action. Leadership is not a passive duty; it is an active responsibility.

"Micromanaging chips away at the confidence and the mental health of employees. A micromanager is effectively placing a restraining order on creativity, problem-solving and some of the excellent results that come from intuition and experience. When an employee feels incapable or disrespected by their manager, there is no incentive to work hard.

"True empowerment occurs when people discipline themselves. Your organization will grow when you put a stop to micromanaging. This is what will empower your staff to make decisions and take risks.

"As a leader it is not always easy to spot or identify the micromanagers inside your organization and/or within your leadership team. They mask their micromanaging style behind the fact they are some of the hardest working people. They are extremely committed to the organization. They may be that self-starter who has no trouble putting in that extra effort, stay the extra hours and work the weekends. Because of that, they take pride in their work. However, they often confuse activity with results. Back when we all worked in offices, there was always one person still at their desk at 7:30pm and one person always out the door at 5:15 pm. Today, there's one employee that signs off at 5:30 pm, and one sending emails at all hours of the night. The person who works the hardest, isn't always working the smartest, it's often the opposite. The sign of an effective manager is as much as what they don't do, as what they do.

"At a micromanager's core, they lack the critical skill of delegation . . ."
