Are you a control freak?

Many micromanagers are control freaks.

They think they have to be involved because no one can do it as well as they can.

Inc Magazine published "8 Signs You're a Control Freak".

In part, the article said that you are a control freak if:

• You micromanage others to fit your expectations.
• You judge others' behaviors as right or wrong.
• You have a difficult time with ambiguity.

Instead of micromanaging others, realize that the only control you have is over yourself.

Ideas to let go of control include:

• Be realistic about your expectations of others.
• Be direct with people.
• Accept that there will always be unknowns in life.
