Question by Obama the Puppet: How come Obama is just another micromanager?
Rather than giving general instructions on smaller tasks and then devoting his time to supervising larger concerns, the micromanager monitors and assesses every step of a business process and avoids delegation of decisions.[6] Micromanagers are usually irritated when a subordinate makes decisions without consulting them, even if the decisions are totally within the subordinate’s level of authority.

Micromanagement also frequently involves requests for unnecessary and overly detailed reports (“reportomania”). A micromanager tends to require constant and detailed performance feedback and tends to be excessively focused on procedural trivia (often in detail greater than he can actually process) rather than on overall performance, quality and results. This focus on “low-level” trivia often delays decisions, clouds overall goals and objectives, restricts the flow of information between employees, and guides the various aspects of a project in different and often opposed directions. Many micromanagers accept such inefficiencies because those micromanagers consider the outcome of a project less important than their retention of control or of the appearance of control.

The most extreme cases of micromanagement constitute a management pathology closely related to, e.g., workplace bullying and narcissistic behavior. Micromanagement resembles addiction in that although most micromanagers are behaviorally dependent on control over others, both as a lifestyle and as a means of maintaining that lifestyle, many of them fail to recognize and acknowledge their dependence even when everyone around them observes it.[1] Some severe cases of micromanagement arise from other underlying mental-health conditions such as obsessive–compulsive personality disorder, although not all allegations of such conditions by subordinates and other “armchair psychologists” are accurate.

Narcissists love to delegate work, and then interfere by micromanaging it. If it goes well they take the credit (plagiarism); if it goes badly, they blame the person they delegated it to.[7]

Fits Obama perfectly, takes credit from others accomplishments and blames someone else for his dismal failures

Best answer:

Answer by TK421
He is not a real leader… Micromanaging is what people do when out of their depths. Since they have a hard time understanding what is happening, they grab hold of things that can understand.

Answer by Chewy Ivan 2
Because when Obama wasn’t micromanaging and tried to focus on the larger concerns, conservatives accused him of doing nothing.
