• A macro manager is a boss who does not need hands, who trusts his employees to do their job as they see fit.

  • Macro managers are more concerned with overall plans and results than individual styles or daily habits.
  • Adopting a leadership style based on macromanagement may include delegation of authority and responsibility, while the manager focuses on developing and implementing the overall strategy for the team. Macro managers can be accused of being aloof and out of touch with everyday problems.
  • A macro manager is the opposite of a micro manager, an overseer who constantly looks over employees’ shoulders and is often perceived as controlling and overly critical.
