IS ALL MICROMANAGEMENT BAD?
Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter
The "don't micromanage" advice has created managers so scared of hovering that they under-manage instead.

Rippling's Matt MacInnis advocates to "go and see" when data looks weird. Stripe built review systems with "red pen holders" who marked up anything going to 100+ users. The key is knowing when to dive deep and when to zoom out.
