    They’re frustrated because it shows that they aren’t necessary. People can just get on and do their work without some micromanager breathing down their neck.

      This is true. Your job as a “boss” should not be to command and control but rather to remove obstacles preventing your workers from doing their jobs effectively.

      A good boss trusts their employees to do their work, but is comfortable working with them if there is an issue with their performance.
