Solution Summary
The Puzzle of Micromanaging Managers
When we bog senior staff down with mind-numbing procedures, we clearly aren't giving them the trust and support they deserve Think, for instance, about the typical corporate performance-review process. As an HR person myself, I would think that a critical priority would be to implement the simplest and most time-effective performance-appraisal system ever. But that's not always what I see. Companies heap process on process and form on top of form, tying up managers' (and their teams') time. And that's a mistake. If we don't trust our managers to manage well, maybe what we need is new managers (or more trusting executives) rather than another time-sucking process.

There are countless ways companies force employees into pointless exercises. Many corporate expense-reimbursement policies, for instance, are written with a strong tone of "we don't trust our managers, much less our employees, to manage expenses wisely without explicit guidance." All that explicit guidance, naturally, translates into hours and hours of clerical time, as expense vouchers are checked against 35-page-long expense-reimbursement ...
