James here....I can relate. In another life I was a manager from a major retailer, responsible for million dollar invetories and millions is sale. I was there to fix everything and take the heat if it
was not right. I drove the folks at my next job after retail crazy 'cause wanted to fix everything. I have found that a good job description that both parties agree to helps me avoid trying to fix everything. At my present job
they asked me to manage and after discussing the job description I asked a few "what if's" to see
how much control I really had and it was clear they were still going to micro manage me so I declined to take the job.james
