The End of the Micro Manager

Working from Home?

Could this current pandemic see the end of another phenomenon? The Micro-Manager. My late father was never one to hide an opinion and shared a great deal of ire for a particular type of manager, the one who would call a breakfast meeting. But spare a thought for the manager who previously would have regularly maintained a sense of being in control, by calling endless meetings. Having their people around them created a feeling of things getting done. Presenteeism indicated commitment.

The Fear

One of the more weird experiences of the last seven months has been the return of the fear. Now if you grew up in Ireland, the fear is a phenomenon all of its own and refers to that feeling you get the morning after that you have said or done something under the influence of alcohol that you will later regret.

For others it was that wave of anxiety that appeared out of nowhere on a Sunday evening, triggered by the music of a TV Series called Glenroe - that you were ill-prepared for the week ahead at school or work. But now it’s back - and can appear at any time or from any unknown trigger, and it’s happening to more and more of us.
