🎙️ Welcome to Revise and Resubmit — where research meets curiosity, and great ideas get their second draft! ✍️

Today, we’re diving into a study that every leader, manager, and team member might secretly fear… or embody. 🚁
The paper is titled “Helicopter Bosses: Development and Validation of the Micromanagement Scale” — a fascinating exploration of how some leaders hover just a little too close for comfort.

Published on November 11, 2025, in the Journal of Management — yes, that’s an FT50-listed and highly prestigious journal — this research comes to us from scholars Catherine Midel Deen, Christian Kiewitz, Jun-Yeob Kim, Simon Lloyd D. Restubog, Ying-Yi Chih, and Robert L. Tang, and it’s brought to the world by SAGE Publications. 🏛️

Their work uncovers something we’ve all felt but seldom defined: what truly makes a micromanager tick? Through meticulous studies and thousands of data points, they build the Micromanagement Scale (MMS-9) — a new lens for understanding control, monitoring, and obsessive detail focus at work.

So here’s the question to start us off today: 💭
If micromanagement is driven by low trust and anxiety, could the cure for it lie not in better systems… but in better relationships?

A big thank you to the authors and SAGE Publications for this insightful contribution to one of the world’s top management journals. 🙌
