My boss was a micromanager

Your boss needs to learn to let go of her past respnsibilities and start trusting the responsibilities to the new managers. It is hard to break old habits of being in-charge of everything especially she was teh one who started the business. Micro-managing her workers will just stress her and a waste of time and a bad managemnet style. Hopefully she'll realize this soon or someone has to inform her so she won't have bad relationships with her employees. Noone can do everything by herself/himself. We need each other and as we need them, we need to trust them. If the people we trusted didn't do it well, guide them until they get the work done well. I had this experience a few years back in the same company I am working with but eventually my boss has learned to trust me because we had an open communication and he gave me a chance to do my work well with minimal supervision. I have accepted my shortcomings and asks his help whenever necessary.

Oh, I know how you feel. My mom is a micromanager as well. She does everything at home and then complains that she does everything and nobody helps her. How could they? She'd follow-up everything they'd do and re-do them all because it's not up-to-par to her expectations. Now that we're older, she's still into it but she has learned to delegate. I guess we all have those phases in our lives, but as soon as we learn that people around us could be trusted with little things, then, she could relax. I guess that's what's happening to your boss. Have a great mylot experience ahead!
