I neither work very well under, or function very well as, a micro-manager.

I have had success in managing people who've failed at previous jobs because nobody ever got out of their way and let them do it. I've also failed as a manager with people who have been successful elsewhere, but had nothing remotely resembling initiative.

If you take the hypothetical top five managers in any industry and polled them, you would come up with seven different management styles, some of them completely at odds one another.
