Great post, Dan. On the topic of micro vs macro management, I learned recently that another dimension at play here is how much managers subscribe to different management theories of what motivates their teams (ex: security vs. vision vs community); here is a short piece on that related topic: https://open.substack.com/pub/waqaswrites/p/choosing-your-your-management-mo?r=jhccc&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post

Sent this to a coaching client of mine who was just telling me how overwhelmed he felt by his new management position. He expressed that he felt more comfortable in his active engineering role but felt pressured to take the promotion. Now, he's suffering through the political aspects of his workplace when he'd rather be doing the technical work. I'm hopeful he'll find some advice here that will give him a new perspective! Thank you!
