No, thecustomerisnt always right!
They might have certain preferences or different ideas on how to do things, sure.
Sure, to them, their ideas sound like gold.
But some of them are going to be far from perfect.
Any good manager (heck, any emotionally intelligent human being) knows how to take feedback well.
Theyre willing to listen to other opinions.
They dont get stuck on a single idea.
They actually entertain the possibility that they might be (slightly) wrong.
And they know the difference between positive criticism and someone attacking their ideas baselessly.
The odds are that theyd be happy to share some of their hard-earned wisdom with you.
However, you should be coming from a place of curiosity and respect, not suspicion and arrogance.
That, dear Pandas, is a sign of someone whos probably a micromanager.
In short, theywant control.
But if they do delegate, they demandconstant updates, watch you work, and criticize everything you do.
They value the details so much that they sometimes forget to look at the big picture.
Meanwhile, this complete lack of trust means that micromanagers demotivate and frustrate their teams.
They can end up pushing qualified employees away simply because their character creates a toxic workplace environment.
And if things dont work out, you might always find another, better job.
On the flip side, contractors can always set their own firm boundaries at work.
If theyre disrespected, they can refuse to finish the job.
Or they can blacklist the client in the future.
Theres no silver bullet to becoming a more trusting, relaxed, and generally chill person.
Itll take a lot of time and deviation to cultivate more self-awareness,empathy,and humility.
Even if just a little.
A heartfelt apology goes a long way, too!
