Being a micromanager, especially in a sales-related field, is the worst. Really.
-You’ll sap productivity by limiting initiative and self-sufficiency.
-You’ll back up the flow of both ideas and actions, since you insist on having control of every detail.
-You’ll drive away great people by not giving them a chance to succeed on their own.
-Ultimately, you will fail to maximize the revenue-driving potential of your sales team.
-Also, people won’t like you.
