I was
reading an article titled “How to deal with a control freak” some
time ago in the magazine “Business Spotlight” of February 2017 and it talks
about people who micromanage everything. I thought you might be interested
because everyone knows at least one person who is a control freak.
Basically,
what it says is that you should discuss the situation with the
control freak rather than just “muttering under your breath”.
The
author mentions that people who must always have the control of
everything and micromanage every small detail don’t purposely annoy you. The
person only wants to be as polished and professional as he can be. It is also said that most
employee in offices have at least one control freak as a colleague, sometimes this
person is the boss. If your boss is a controlling person you should let him the
final say and do the things you have to do his way. Just suck it up and move
forward with the instructions he mentioned.
It is
also mentioned in the text that if you have problems with a
control freak, for example with your boss, you should set up a meeting with
your boss or supervisor where you and the other employee can each present your
case. You should mention your own ideas and how to solve this problem or make a
compromise with your boss. But keep in you mind, be always polite and patient.
I am
sure that everyone knows one control freak and now you
know how to handle with them.
In my mind control freaks are not as obnoxious as the most think. Control
freaks are often very impatient and don’t admit mistakes.
What do
you think? How would you deal with a control freak?
