"Probably the most difficult situation is the latter — a boss that’s too hands-on, or perhaps an external resource that is too busy, yet absolutely must approve every decision.

This micro-managing mentality is causing all kinds of bottlenecks: Decisions are held until the last moment, changes are made late in the game, and your entire department suffers — staying late to “catch up” after your boss delivers his final word on any given issue.
