[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 529550, member: 7966"] One of my observations in life Helen, is it comes down to CONTROL. People who feel they must control other people (and even pets) put themselves under a lot of stress in trying to do so. It makes them unhappy and the people around them unhappy. This is what a lot of churches are about. This is what a lot of parents do. And this is what management does ... especially operations management. It is one of the major responsibilities of a management person. Fundamental management theory states that there is 3 stages of management effort - Planning, Organizing and Controlling. Micro-management is the extreme case of Controlling and why no one likes to be micro-managed. P-man strikes me as a balanced manager who manages the big things and lets the little things take care of themselves through the efforts of informed and empowered employees. If you have ever reported to a management person that did not effectively monitor and control the groups efforts, you understand how frustrating and unfilling that can be. Oh well ... that's it for Hoax sociology and management philosophy viewpoints for today. [/QUOTE]
