Agreed. I generally make an effort to trust people to do the right thing but some people don’t do well managing themselves. I think it suspect important for a manager to be able to adapt to people’s styles. Some people need and often prefer to be micromanaged whereas others hate it. You either have the choice to only hire people who fit your style or you have to adapt to individual people.

However, if as employee you feel micromanaged and don’t like it, it’s probably best to leave or switch to a different team. Otherwise it’s a miserable experience.
