1 Understand the root cause

The first step to deal with a micromanaging boss is to understand why they behave that way. Maybe they are insecure, inexperienced, or under pressure from higher-ups. Maybe they have high expectations, trust issues, or control needs. Maybe they are unaware of how their actions affect you and your performance. Whatever the reason, try to empathize with their situation and perspective. This can help you avoid taking their micromanagement personally and reduce your resentment.

Perfectly said / with pursuing a psychology degree in my spare time and years of therapy and self interests- I learned most situations such as micromanaging the person takes “to heart they don’t trust me” however it’s actually opposite- it’s how they view themselves that’s why they micromanage. So keep that in mind

2 Communicate clearly and regularly

The second step to deal with a micromanaging boss is to communicate clearly and regularly with them. Micromanagers often want to be updated on every detail, so be proactive and provide them with relevant information, progress reports, and feedback. This can show them that you are competent, reliable, and accountable. It can also reduce their anxiety and need to intervene. However, be careful not to over-communicate or overwhelm them with too much information. Find out what they want to know, how often, and in what format.

First realize their issues of feeling inadequately or self esteem have nothing to do with you - their need of self inflated importance mostly stems from people denying how unimportant certain task may be .keep a notebook /email requests to yourself . To find balance and succeed you slightly feed their ego, showing your capable and willing to do whatever format they prefer. Trust-will be brief -again this this about them not you. I update email, notes- recaps? Let them decide so power maybe seem established. in my experience with these types of manager traits - you are set up to fail even if you didn’t- so keep notes, follow up with emails and be eager to find a solution they come up with. See below #3 states it perfectly

3 Set boundaries and expectations

The third step to deal with a micromanaging boss is to set boundaries and expectations with them. Micromanagers often have unrealistic or unclear expectations, so be assertive and negotiate your goals, roles, and responsibilities. This can help you clarify what you can and cannot do, how you prefer to work, and what support you need from them. It can also help you establish some autonomy and flexibility in your work. However, be respectful and cooperative, not defiant or confrontational. Find a balance between meeting their standards and maintaining your dignity.

4 Seek feedback and improvement

The fourth step to deal with a micromanaging boss is to seek feedback and improvement from them. Micromanagers often have valuable insights, skills, and experience that you can learn from. Instead of resisting or resenting their criticism, ask for their advice, suggestions, and guidance. This can show them that you are willing to improve, grow, and adapt. It can also help you enhance your performance, skills, and knowledge. However, be selective and critical, not passive or submissive. Take what is useful and discard what is not.

5 Focus on the positive and the big picture

The fifth step to deal with a micromanaging boss is to focus on the positive and the big picture. Micromanagers often focus on the negative and the small details, so be optimistic and visionary. Look for the benefits, opportunities, and lessons that come from working with them. Remember your purpose, passion, and goals in your aviation career. This can help you cope with the stress, frustration, and boredom that come from working under them. It can also help you maintain your motivation, enthusiasm, and creativity.

6 Seek support and alternatives

The sixth and final step to deal with a micromanaging boss is to seek support and alternatives. Micromanagers often isolate and alienate you from your colleagues, so be social and collaborative. Reach out to your peers, mentors, and friends for emotional, practical, and professional support. Share your challenges, vent your feelings, and seek their perspectives. This can help you feel less alone, more valued, and more empowered. It can also help you find new ideas, solutions, and opportunities. However, be discreet and respectful, not gossiping or complaining. Avoid badmouthing your boss or undermining their authority.
