Here are 7 ways micromanagement negatively affects employees:
Decreased Productivity
Constant surveillance along with excessive tweaking and input decrease productivity. Employees have to slow down in their work to process and implement the continuous input and changes to their workflow.
Increased Employee Turnover
Chronic micromanagement often leads people to quit their jobs. It destroys the manager/ employee relationship.
Morale is Lowered
When micromanaged, employees begin to feel a loss of autonomy.
Loss of Trust
Micromanagement destroys trust. Employees should feel trusted and valued by their manager and organization especially when it comes to doing their job.
Teamwork Is Destroyed
A micromanaged workplace discourages teamwork as employees work less with each other and more or only with the micromanager.
Reduced Innovation
Employee engagement drives innovation, and empowering employees helps increase engagement rates. Micromanagement dis-empowers employees by not allowing them to get results in ways that work for them.
Health Problems Arise
Micromanagers over time exert a heavy toll on their employees’ health.
Wrapping It All Up
Managers should exercise control with clear direction and guidance for employees to follow.

Good read
A well thought out article.
It’s best as a manager to give the direction while watching the team execute. come in when the team is kinda deviating from the task at hand to realign. One can even delegate a member of the team to keep watch and report back from time to time.
