Ineffective leaders "tell" their employees what to do and then abandons them.  Then if an employee flounders -- the leader steps back in to "solve" the problem -- thinking that the employee must not be very capable.  If this cycle continues -- the leader never learns to trust he/her employees -- and becomes a micro-manager.  But the root of the problem is NOT the employee -- it's the LEADER.

Micro-managing leaders often think that they don't have enough TIME to develop their employees or the SKILL to coach their employees for improved performance.  So their ineffective leadership behavior perpetuates the problem.
