Summary
Bill Gates was once fanatical about work and micromanaged employees at Microsoft, leading to a high-stress environment. While Microsoft has been successful, experts agree that micromanaging is not an effective leadership strategy. Former employees shared stories of working long hours to meet Gates' expectations. Establishing work-life balance is important for professional and personal well-being, even for highly successful individuals. Gates eventually had to loosen up his controlling nature as Microsoft grew. If you have a boss with a similar management style, sending constant updates may help mitigate the situation.
