Micro Management

Meaning

Micro Management does not need a lot of explanation.
Micro Management represents management on a smaller or the smallest level of a defined system of structures and procedures and in its meaning is generally not a bad thing. As a Fireteam Leader you are usually required to micro manage your team in specific situations and tasks, espcially in virtual gaming as you'll often be confronted with players entirely new to the milsim genre.

Micro management in a military chain of command

Micro Management grew into a 'bad' term in UO due to its excessive use on the primary by people in leadership positions. This does not necessarily imply incompetence of the leader, but rather a lack of trust from the mission commanding officer to its subordinate leaders due to repeated bad behaviour and/or incapability to accomplish simple tasks in the past. This usually requires players in leadership positions to invest vast time into making sure that their subordinates actually do what they were told to.
This issue can be observed in all levels of leadership.
