Micro Manager

*MYSTERY : Signs That Strongly Suggest You’re a Micromanager - by Byron Conway*

Micromanagement takes place whenever a manager intends to exercise excessive control over the working process.

Typical micromanagers delegate work and yet want to be closely involved with every minute aspect of the work done. This often leads to frustration and delays in work across the team. If there is a general opinion amongst your employees that you are micromanaging, it is a given that your leadership is trouble and the work product is going to be negatively impacted.

To stay away from micromanaging, it is important that you select the right team members whom you can delegate tasks effectively so that you can ease your control over your business process.
Signs That Indicate You May be Micromanaging

Many times people become micromanagers without even having an awareness about it.

The reason for this is that there is actually a very thin line that exists between a manager who wishes his or her team to produce the best possible outcome and eventually succumbing to micromanagement.

Here are some signals that you can look out for to identify when you may unknowingly cross the line of micromanagement:

*1.* You have an unreasonable high turnover in your team.

*2.* Your team avoids getting into one-on-one conversations with you or avoids you in general.

*3.* You have more work on your plate than you can manage because you are unable to delegate work effectively.

*4.* You have the habit of assigning work and then taking it back because you feel the work is not being done the way you would want it to be done.

*5.* You instruct your team exactly how you wish things to be done and do not leave any scope for others to take the initiative.

*6.* You have the habit of taking on a managerial role even when the project already has a project manager.

*7.* You are unable to meet project deadlines as you get too much involved in the details.

*8.* You have this habit of wanting to know what everyone else is doing all the time.
   
*9.* You don’t allow your team members to share their ideas, speak to one another, or even to communicate with clients.
   
*10.* You act as the bottleneck all the time since everyone in the team always waits for your approval on any and everything.
   
*11.* You have the habit of questioning everything under the sky right from the processes followed to accomplish the work, the work that has been completed, and the proposed next steps in every status meeting.
   
*12.* You have a strong belief that if you wish something to be done properly, you have to do it yourself.

If you feel that most of these signs resonate with you, then you are probably a micromanager. If you ask if it matters, then the answer is very much a ‘yes.’

*Impact of Micromanagement on Your Business*

If you are unable to gauge the damage caused by micromanagement, here are a couple of points to raise your awareness:

*1.* Micromanagement indicates that you do not trust your team or even respect their work.

*2.* Micromanagement takes away the sense of ownership from your team members in their work.

*3.* Micromanagement slows you down as you will never have sufficient time to plan and look ahead and hence the growth of your business is bound to suffer.

*4.* Micromanagement leads to re-work which wastes time and makes your team members lose their self-confidence and their ability to do the job well.

*5.* Micromanagement frustrates your team and makes them resentful.

*6.* Micromanagement often leads to procrastination and as a result causes time management disasters.

*7.* Micromanagement prevents your team members from nurturing and developing new skills and knowledge as they are bound to work autonomously.

If you are someone who can delegate work effectively, then you are on the right track. However, once any of the above micromanagement tendencies creep in, you may just need to stop and check yourself; else you go back to your old state of doing every single thing on your own which isn’t an option.

Safety first.

Knowledge That Might Save A Life One Day.

1. Never take out an object you’ve been stabbed with. It’s actually preventing you from a hemorrhage. Let a doctor or other medical person remove it.

2. If you need urgent help in a public place, do not scream for help. People will think someone else will help you. Instead, call out for help to one specific person.
The bystander effect, is a social psychological phenomenon in which individuals are less likely to offer help to a victim when other people are present. The greater the number of bystanders, the less likely it is that any one of them will help.

3.If the plane you’re in has to perform a water landing, you should never inflate your life jacket while you’re in the plane, as it will make you stuck on the ceiling. Get off the plane first, then inflate the jacket.

4.If you’re cooking with oil and gas and it catches fire, never try to extinguish it with water. Because of the oil, you’ll instead make the fire bigger. Simply turn off the gas and use something non-flammable to cover the flames. A pot lid, wet cloth or a wool blanket are useful.

5.Stay close to the ground if any building catches fire. Smoke is the first cause of death during a fire & smoke rises. Clearer air for breathing is found close to the ground.

6. If you find yourself in the ocean, for example, and want to surface, your first instinct will be to paddle as fast as you can. It will exhaust you, and eventually cause you to drown. Instead, just float.

7.Wherever you go, be it a church, a party, or even a school, make sure you see 3 exits. It can be both easy and hard. Scan the space with your eyes so that even if there’s only one door you’ll find at least three ways out.
Why? If something bad happens, it’ll be too late to look for an exit. If you’ve found and memorized them in advance, you’ll be able to move toward one of them almost without thinking.

8. If a dog is going to attack you in open place then,
-do not run, dog can catch you in no time( since it is open place).
-do not look into its eyes( animals can sense fear).
-do not show your back( showing back is a sign of fear).
-grab a stick if possible.
-Stand straight and be in attack mode.
-Walk backwards slowly until you are out of attack zone(200 meters is dog’s attack zone).

9. If you notice you are being followed, Raise your head, and go slowly.
People tend to instinctively lower their head and increase their pace when they sense danger. However, you should do just the contrary: confidently raise your chin, and slow down.
Why? When you follow your first instinct, you become prey. Whoever or whatever is threatening you, slow down, raise your head, and look sideways to see the danger with your peripheral vision.

10. Suppose you rammed your car into an electric-pole and live current wires on your car then,
-Do not panic. Your car tyres are made up of rubber and will work as an insulator. The metal surface of the car acts as a Faraday cage due to which the electric field inside the car is zero.
-Do not step out of the vehicle,if you do so you will complete the circuit between wires and earth and you’ll be fried in no time.
-Pick up the floor mats in you car and throw them on the ground where you could reach by jumping
-Make sure you cover maximum area with mats
-Open car door widely( roof top is preferable) then jump onto the mats which you placed earlier.
-Make sure you remove two legs at once( keeping one leg inside may complete circuit).

11. If you were bitten by a viper/any venomous snake,
-do not run(the venom will spread faster).
-Take a picture of the snake if possible or remember its features (pattern/head shape).
-Within the first 2 minutes, more than 95% of the venom will still be around the wound.
- Tie your shoelace 3 inches above the wound to slow down the spreading of the venom and loosen the tie for 30 seconds every 10 minutes to avoid necrosis.
-Call for help.
While waiting, rinse the wound with water (ideally 5% potassium permanganate with 2L water if you have a First Aid kit) or any -liquid (especially, urine).

12. If your car especially the fuel tank were on fire,
-do not try to douse the fire with water. Water is heavier than petrol and therefore would sink to the bottom of the tank. The boiling water would produce more heat, which when cannot diffuse, would cause explosion
-use dry powder fire extinguisher. Using the incorrect agent can allow the fire to re-ignite.
If the fire cannot be put out within 3 minutes, abandon the car.

13. You were driving a car and your brakes failed, then
-Do not say your last prayers in panic and be shouting "Jesus! Jesus!"
-Do not kill (turn off) the engine in panic as turning off engine will lock your steering then you can't change your path to avoid collisions.
-Do not change your gear to “neutral”, just decrease the gears sequentially. If you are in 80 with 4 gear come to 3rd and hit accelerator car will slow down like wise do with rest of the gears.
Once you have attained impact sustainable speed, try hand brakes. If they failed too, collide your vehicle with a similarly sized, parked car because Car fronts are designed to absorb shock (structurally weaker) and hitting a similarly sized car will distribute the momentum evenly
Else collide it with a tree or pole( make sure you wear seat belt and have air bags).

14. Never walk down the stairs with your hands in your pockets. This way if you trip/fall, you’ll not be able to catch yourself.

15. If a stranger gets in your car forcefully and orders you to take them somewhere, you can drive straight into a pole or a lamp post. This way you’ll render yourself useless to them because
a) the car is damaged and
b) you've drawn enough attention by crashing the car.
Sure, you'll damage your car but you'll save your life. Ensure your seat belt is on and your car has airbag.

16. If there are more than 2 routes to your house, try as much as possible to occasionally switch routes and don't switch in a patterned manner.... This will help you against ambushed kidnapping

17. Don't walk on/by the road when you talk, instead stop and finish your phone call before walking.
You will experience Inattention Blindness (you may be looking at an object but you'll fail to register it or process what it is).
The human brain cannot multitask. Walking and talking on a cell phone are two thinking tasks that involve many areas of the brain. Instead of processing both simultaneously, the brain rapidly switches between two cognitive activities.
Cell phone use reduces pedestrian safety. It shuts the world around, makes you blind to danger and is one of the leading causes of death for pedestrians.

18. When involved in an accident and a medical rescue team is on site, don't go about screaming your lungs out "help me! Help me!!"...
Make little or no sound as it is a well known fact that the less injured aren't usually the most vocal in an accident. The silent ones are most times attended to first as it is assumed they are CRITICALLY injured.

19.Do not take pictures of military vehicles, military personnel or military installations without permission. - Don't ask me why but you can find out if you want.

20. If you are in a foreign country, stay out of political discussions unless you know all of the parties VERY WELL. If pressed for an opinion, then simply state ,truthfully, that you don't know enough to comment. You will stay alive minding your business.

21.There is a little, clever device that can prevent death, headache, bleeding, back pain, neck pain, bone fractures, head trauma, brain damage, organ damage, bruises and emergency hospital admittance.
It’s called a SEAT BELT, use it always.

22. Wait a second or two after the traffic light turns green before hitting the accelerator.
There's always that one asshole at the other end that tries to outsmart the red light and they're never going slowly either.

23. If you are driving an automatic and you experience a failed brake, the first thing you want to do is to take your foot off the accelerator.
Secondly shift your vehicle gear down to D1 to reduce your speed. As your speed gradually drops, use your hand brake. Although it will take longer than usual to come to a stop because it only stops the back tires. Along with this, keep swerving the car and drive off the tarmac on the gravel or mud patch, if the conditions permit. This is to cause friction which will hopefully a long way in slowing the speed of the vehicle.
Ensure your hazard lights are on to warn fellow drivers & pedestrians.
Worst case, you can also scrape your car to the barrier/railings on the side of the road.
Friction is your best friend in such a situation. Try making the most of it.

24. Avoid as much as possible taking the lift alone. Use the staircase if the floor you are going to is not far. Otherwise, use the lift together with others.

What to do if you are unable to pass urine suddenly.

This is copied from "Abe 'Gi '81" FORUM - posted by Okuneye, Esq.
I find it intriguing.
Medical Doctors on the platform, please comment.
Tunde Oduwole, I-QS.

What to do if you are unable to pass urine suddenly

Recently I met a famous allopathy doctor on account of a medical article. He is in his 70s…is an ENT specialist. It was astonishing to listen to one of his experience which he shared. That day morning when he woke up he had a problem. He had an urge to pass urine but for some reason he was unable to do. At this age some people face with such problem some times and if they try two or three times they may succeed. He tried after some time but same condition. His continuous efforts didn’t bear any result. Then he realised there is some problem. Though he is a doctor but he is not an exception to such physical problems as he is also made of the same flesh and blood like everyone. Now his lower abdomen became heavy and he was unable to sit or stand and was suffering with the building pressure. Immediately he called up a known urologist on phone and explained his situation. Urologist replied “I am at present in a hospital in the outskirts and I will be coming to a clinic in your area in another one and a half hour. Will you be able to withstand that long?” He replied “I will try”.
At that instant he received an incoming call which happened to be from another allopathy doctor from his town (Suseendharam). With great difficulty the ENT doctor explained his situation to his childhood friend doctor.  His friend echoed back “oh, your urine bladder is full and you are unable to pass urine. Don’t worry, do as I suggest, you will be able to pass urine”. And he started giving the instructions. “Stand up and jump vigorously …while jumping lift both your hands as though you are plucking the mangoes. Do like this for 15 to 20 times”. What, when the bladder is full he wants me to jump? Though little sceptical the ENT doctor started trying it. What a relief within 5 to 6 time jumping urine started passing. ENT doctor felt overjoyed and felt thankful to his childhood friend doctor for solving it with such simple solution which otherwise would have required an admission in a hospital where they would have inserted a catheter inside the bladder, injections, anti-biotics etc resulting in a bill amount crossing Rs 50,000 in addition to physical and mental stress for him and his near and dear ones.
Sharing this for the benefit of others.

Rotimi2Williams Vs Gani Fawehinmi.

*Rotimi Williams Vs Gani Fawehinmi*

*When a Degree is not who you are.*

Gani Fawehinmi was the best legal mind of his time in  but he was not even the best in the University days, truthfully, he had ordinary pass in his Law degree, not even a third class degree. He could be classified as “let my people go” in those days.

After Gani left the University and passed his Law school , there was nothing ordinary again in his life, he was the best in everything he touched. He wrote lots legal books and journals in Nigeria. He visited Courts more than those who made First class in the same school with him or those who became SAN before him.

Gani’s presence in any court was a big news to the Press and the nation, he was delightful and reassuring to watch, he spoke the language of his profession like an angel and every judge knew him as a man of integrity.

Gani was the most honorable lawyer Nigeria ever produced, to most Nigerians particularly the poor and middle class,he was their hope, and epitome of graceful expectations of how to prosecute cases, he made legal profession honorable.

Gani’s most memorable case to the Oracle was against Rotimi Williams over integrity. He made a mockery of the man Nigeria called *Rotimi the Law* the Chairman of the 1979 Constitution drafting committee of 49 wise men. It was supposed to be 50 wise men until Awolowo pulled out of the committee.

Why?

The first appointment given to Rotimi William as Attorney General of Western Region was by Awolowo as Premier. It was the mistake of the Head of State Gen Muritala Mohammed to think Awolowo could serve under Rotimi unfortunately, he never consulted Awolowo before the announcement on the radio.

Rotimi Williams had sued Gani over his integrity and like Shylock he wanted a pound of flesh, the flesh that will show the nation Rotimi was the law. He also wanted an open apology in the court with the Press and new radicals of media like Dan Agbese, Dele Giwa, Mohamed and Ogunsanya around. He got more than what he bargained for.

When Gani stood up, the poor and middle class stood up with him, if Gani had failed lots of his fans would have cried openly in the Court but he turned things around. He took few steps towards the Judge and demanded to put Rotimi the Law on the witness stand for cross examination.

No one had ever done that in the history of Nigeria, probably in Africa. Rotimi was not a short man either probably around 6.2 ft, tall and huge with sharp penetrating eyes, broad shoulders, his presence took away the oxygen in the room, he was the attention in any Court.he was indeed the Giant of legal profession.

Rotimi wore his robe like a rag and if the event could be biblically assessed it was like David standing next to Goliath. Rotimi had everything his profession could offer, fame, money and power, Judges bowed before him and who would not? He wrote the law of the land.if not why would he be called* Rotimi the law*

To the surprise of the nation, the presiding Judge granted the request of Gani to have the man that was greater than life on the cross-examination box. Gani had a mischievous smile on his thin lips, he knew he had Rotimi by the balls, he was going to tear down the wall to show Nigerians how coleric his adversary was.

The hate was glaring, we knew the occasion would be historical as we were about to witness how David of Nigeria legal profession would defeat the Goliath of the learned colleagues.

Gani asked if Rotimi ever attended the popular High School in Lagos, he mentioned. Rotimi had no choice than to confirm he did. Gani told the Court to look at Rotimi Williams as a student of the High School who stole a calculator or so and was sent out for stealing if such a thief had any integrity?

Rotimi never had any integrity he said infact he lost it from his High School days and wondered what he wanted to protect as an adult. Gani Fawehinmi concluded. Rotimi was almost in tears.

The Judge called the two lawyers to his chambers and Rotimi withdrew the case. He never recovered from the bruised of the shame which the Press sensationally reviewed on the pages of the newspapers and talk radio.

From Gen Gowon to Military President Babangida, they were all scared of Gani Fawehinmi. Gani was a friend of the sick and the poor, a philanthropist with special attention to education where he noted his own weakness, he gave Nigeria his all, energies and commitment to the rule of Law and love for humanity.

If his profession were to be military, Gani would be more than a four star General. He was indeed what a Lawyer could be, to this Oracle, Gani was the Perry Mason of Nigeria law.

The Oracle says, what you make out of your University education depends on what you put into the society. Your degree is not a waste it is template for you to understand life and contribute meaningfully to the society, the man who made a difference is the one with education to improve his environments not the paper qualifications.

I beseach you my readers to have a renewal of spirit and mind in how you see life, let your goal in life be guided with your contribution to your society and never look down on anyone who came out of the University with ordinary pass. He could be the one to make a difference.
