Stephen M. R. Covey explains the problem with micromanaging in The Speed of Trust:
"When you're highly suspicious, you tend to validate everything, to analyze everything to death--which ends up decreasing speed and increasing costs. In addition you miss opportunities. You cut off collaboration and synergy. The only analysis you really have is your own, which--believe or not--may well be limited or skewed; but you may not even realize it because you cut yourself off from access to the valuable thoughts, ideas, wisdom, and perspectives of others.
Ultimately micromanagers who trust only themselves can take their companies only as far as they themselves can take them. They're unable to leverage themselves. In addition, they're demoralizing to work with. They run the high risk of driving away their best and most talented people who simply won't work in a restrictive environment of control."
