"Whereas, it's quite common in IT for micromanagers to overrule the professionals."
I completely agree with that statement.
IT is a discipline of intellect. Managers are successful when they understand the strengths of those they manage and allow them to take ownership of the things they are responsible for. Men (and women) of reason, don't thrive in an environment of button pushing and lever pulling.
Micromanagers destroy innovative thinking and ultimately destroy themselves by pushing their staff into a cycle of mediocrity.
"Most IT projects are a failure in one way or another"
Managers and companies who understand this won't miss out on the handful of breakthrough innovations that transform their business as a result of a brilliant mind rethinking the way business is being done.
