Nanomanagement is an extremely poor type of management where the manger not only overmanages their employees' work, but all of the employees' other tasks on a daily basis. This includes but is not limited to delegaing meaningless tasks like copy and pasting information, asking employees to send an email for them, etc.
Instead of giving employees general instructions, room to use their imagination and empowering them, a nanomanager not only assesses every step, but also assigns and manages each little task for each step.
This type of management may be motivated by but not limited to the manager's concern for details, the manager not having any work of their own to do, feeling insecure about their position as manager and having the need to demonstrate their power to their employees.
The effect of nanomanagement will be de-motivated employees, lowered morale, increased resentment and low retention

This nanomanagement is out of control I need to create a project plan just to wipe my ass and make sure my manager is there while I do it!

Get the nanomanagement mug.nanea is a name of grace and beauty, someone boys swoon over. A nanea is very protective of her friends. She is flirty and sassy. Whenever you talk to her, even if you are sad or depressed you will leave laughing. Nanea is classy and not afraid to speak her mind. She is thoughtful and always knows what to say. She is wise and loving, and a gem in every way.
Nanea is my best friend

Get the nanometer-peter mug.A person who tries to manage even the smallest details of other people's lives; someone who indulges in an extreme form of nannying.
"I can't believe it: he just told me that I should never have more than six paperclips on my desk at one time!" "Yea, he's a real nanomanager."
