On: Better to micromanage than be disengaged

How did we possibly get to a point where we've let people 'oversee' work that they themselves can't grok, much less do themselves? It's insanity.

Overseeing the final result? That's fine with me, especially if the working relationship is one-on-one versus part of an organization. It's the mindset of over-estimating one's own competency in the relevant area. We all do it to some degree, at some point in our life, but some are infested with it.
