μmanagement

Delegating decision making requires fortitude.

Unfortunately a majority of managers are insecure little runts. The insecurity has no cure.

Thence, run everything by me is default behaviour.

if its for fun, then yes, its good joke.

On serious note, this is not micro management. This is risk management. If this go wrong, the manager will be questioned. if it blows up, the manger will be punished.
