Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank says micromanagement is ‘underestimated.’ Steve Jobs and Elon Musk would agree

Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank advocates for micromanagement as an effective strategy, arguing it is often underestimated in its ability to drive results. In a recent interview, he emphasized the importance of focusing on the right solutions and suggested that a balance between structure and creativity is essential for success. This perspective contrasts sharply with the preferences of many in the Gen Z workforce, who typically reject micromanagement in favor of more autonomy.
