Attention to detail can be seen as micro-management in a new role if it is perceived as overbearing or intrusive. If a person in a new role is overly focused on the minutiae and constantly checking on their team's work, it can create a sense of distrust and undermine the team's confidence. It's important to strike a balance between maintaining high standards and allowing team members the autonomy to complete their tasks.

Question was asked on:
