Assume your former manager retired three months ago, and a new manager, Frank, was promoted from within
the department. You and others have found Frank to be somewhat of a micromanager who does not empower
his staff. Write a 500-600 page paper that incorporates responses to the following questions.
What are reasons you believe managers like Frank do not empower their staff?
What is it like to work for a micromanager? (If you’ve never worked for someone like this, speculate on
what it might be like to work for a micromanager.)
Why is empowerment important? Do you think there a link between empowerment and job satisfaction?
Explain.
Suppose a 360 evaluation of Frank reveals to him that he needs to empower his employees more. Do you
think he can change, and if so, what steps might he take? Be specific.
