micromanagement is in the DNA of a few organisations!!

This is so hilarious! It happens more often than you think. Except most of the times, the micromanagers tend to walk away, instead of trying to show you how to do something they don’t know how to do. #micromanagers #manager #networking #fieldwork #tech #leadership #leaders #teach #trust

Feeling like your boss is hovering? Micromanaging can be a drag! Instead, try setting clear goals for your team and talking things out openly. This trust goes a long way. Happy employees who feel like they can make decisions do better work! #EmpowermentWins #NoMicromanage 

When you have had previous employers micromanage you develop an earned appreciation for those that do not. Those are the employers from which you can have a career.

There is nothing more true than this statement. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with incredible individuals who were not just my bosses but became my mentors over time. These people played a crucial role in my professional growth, providing me with support, guidance, and dedication at every step. I was fortunate to have leaders who truly made a difference in my development. When you encounter such people in your professional journey, you learn to appreciate your work environment. 📣My advice: do not take for granted that all your future bosses will be the same! Be thankful for the opportunity to work with amazing professionals. I firmly believe that these experiences are what truly make a difference when deciding whether to stay with an organization. Although I no longer work with them, I remember them with gratitude and happiness for having been part of my journey. #Leadership #Mentorship #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #Gratitude #WorkJourney #Inspiration #CareerAdvice #WorkCulture #EmployeeEngagement #Thankful #CareerPath #ProfessionalJourney #LeadershipMatters #MentorshipMatters #PositiveWorkEnvironment #CareerSuccess #WorkplaceInspiration #StayMotivated #ProfessionalMentors

Love it mike, true- ever since we adopted this psychological, progressive parenting paradigm in the 1960's, with absolutely no evidence it will work, the family has gotten progressively more codependent on each other. I talking about parents codependent on their children to give them affirmation and validity. Think about this, for the first time in western culture a generation(1960's) decided to not raise their children the way they were raised. We have been following the pattern ever since and look at where we are. Many families are hanging in their by a thread at best or flat out chaos at worst. Maybe we should look back in time to see what worked and repeat that pattern. Western culture for centuries used the Biblical model for parent and it was extremely successful in perpetuating culture from generation to generation, until we threw it out and replaced it with the experts progressive, psychological. Look where we are today, two year olds on meds for normal two year old behavior. Just maybe we should look back and see, survival of the future demands it!

"Hard times create strong people, strong people create good times, good times create weak people, and weak people create hard times." Ancient historians observed a recurring pattern in civilizations—growth, flourishing, and inevitable decline—driven by an internal decay born of the very comforts that prosperity brings. This cycle is reflected in society’s response to hardship. Adversity forges resilience and strength, leading to periods of prosperity. Yet, as comfort and wealth increase, so does complacency, ultimately breeding weakness and inviting hard times once more. In every era, a new generation must rise, strong enough to confront and overcome these challenges, renewing the cycle of growth. This is a powerful reminder that the strength of a society lies not in its ease, but in its ability to endure, rebuild, and thrive in the face of adversity. Strength emerges from struggle, prosperity breeds fragility, and it is only through hardship, that we rediscover the resilience to rise again.
