Macromanager and Micromanager

I have stolen this topic from my husband today. We were discussing the qualities of macromanagers and comparing that with the micromanagers.

We have few relatives(I think most of them), in most part of their adult lives are micromanagers. In other words, they pay attention to every small details of the life and styles of all the family members/guests. We know someone who has been living alone for a long time, can't have anyone in the house for more than a week. Not even her own parents, brothers, sisters etc. leave alone outsiders. The reason - micromanagement!
What she does is; simply dictates when each member should take bath, have lunch, what they should do post lunch etc. All these she plans for everyone because she thinks it is best for them. If they fail to follow her plan probably they will fall into trouble, but they(the enforce-es) don't realize that when they are enforced with all those rules. So, they just get upset for being dictated terms and leave her house as soon as they can. And there are people on the extreme other end too. They don't bother if someone is in their home, whether they took bath or not, whether they would like to go shopping or not whether they would like to lie down or not. They make their own plans without asking the guests and expect the guest to follow them. If not also, they are fine with it. I would label them as insensitive.

I think the best type of people to stay along will be the macromanagers. The macromanagers are the people who make the guest aware of the water, electricity situation and tell them the best timings for them to take a shower or have food or do other chores. They don't get upset or angry if these rules are not strictly followed. They will leave the consequences upto the people to realize the situation and act accordingly.
Well, as you may have guessed, it is the macromanager that is the most successful boss at work, most pleasant host and a pleasant guest.
