[quote=Anonymous]Ugh, micromanagers really make life miserable. I am under one right now myself. It is a little bit similar in the sense that she is the President of the company, so she's it. No one above her to influence her (though in your case there is a board). For me, that means getting out. There is not a lot of opportunity to "manage up" because like your CEO, she is not open to suggestions and seems to get offended by them. My boss is so involved in the main project that I am on that I recently, as the leader of that project, instituted a weekly meeting to update her on our progress. It hasn't instantly discouraged her from checking-in more often (daily) but that is the goal overtime. Can you set up a less frequent meeting with her (maybe every two weeks)? How long has she been in the job? It does take time to develop trust, but good managers know that micromanaging isn't the way.[/quote]
