 1. The Conundrum
 Micromanager case study depicts the story of George Latour, CEO of Retronics whose duty is to
increase the company’s revenue. Being the CEO, George, in a way micromanages his employees,
with special interest when it came to Shelley, due to this, She feels in a way her capabilities and
calibre is undervalued, and which leads to diminishing performance at her workplace, which in
turn again stiffens George's micromanagement of Shelly’s work.

D. Advantage of SELF - ASSURANCE

To err is human but to ensure to err as low as possible is considered wise. One can avoid on errors by double
checking their work or thoroughly self-assuring twice. There by not giving a chance to some one to point at
us even when someone is desperately wants to.
