How to Micromanage and Effectively Destroy a Team by FC Bohnke is an insightful look at one of the most damaging management habits in the workplace: micromanagement. With a mix of professional experience, practical advice and a touch of humour, Bohnke explores how excessive control, constant oversight and obsession with small details can slowly, but surely, undermine team morale, productivity and trust.

Micromanagement often goes unnoticed because it has become so common. Whether it’s a boss hovering over every task or an employee micromanaging their own work out of fear, the impact is the same: lower performance, frustrated staff and a workplace culture where people feel undervalued.

Drawing on years of hiring and team-leadership experience, Bohnke guides readers through the warning signs, real-world pitfalls and everyday behaviours that contribute to micromanagement. More importantly, he highlights what managers should do instead—how to empower teams, build confidence, trust employees’ skills and create an environment where people can actually thrive.

Whether you’re a manager wanting to improve your leadership style or an employee navigating a micromanager, this book offers valuable insights into avoiding the practices that can quietly destroy a team.
