Letter to Micromanagers

Ever since I read “Making Things Happen: Mastering the Art of Project Management” by Scott Berkun I’ve been following his blog.

Today he wrote “A Letter to Micromanagers” which I thought was funny:

Owners of thoroughbreds never stop their horses during a race, every ten seconds, to remind the horse and jockey how to run, where the finish line is, or that it’d be a good idea to finish first. Why? It would slow them down. Only an idiot would do this.
