Micromanagement Mayhem in Veterinary Practice

Do you have a boss or manager who constantly checks everything you do? Do you feel excessively supervised? Does your boss tell you what task needs to be accomplished and by when… but then watches your every move and frequently criticize your work and processes? If so, you may be micromanaged. Hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, RVT, begin this podcast by defining micromanagement in the veterinary clinic. They discuss a micromanager's typical traits and actions and why some people are more likely to micromanage than others. They explore how harmful - and counterproductive - micromanaging can be and the negative impacts on team morale and job satisfaction. Our hosts share techniques for talking to a micromanager, reducing the anxiety-creating impacts of a micromanager, and how you can foster a trusted, collaborative workplace. Viewfinders, this is an excellent conversation to share with your entire team. It's also a great one to share with a micromanager (anonymously, of course!).
