What is a ‘Micro Manager’
A micro manager is a boss or manager who gives excessive supervision to employees. A micro manager, rather than telling an employee what task needs to be accomplished and by when, will watch the employee’s actions closely and provide frequent criticism of the employee’s work and processes.

If you had a midget as a boss could he be considered a micro manager?

If you had a midget boss would he be known as a micro-manager?
