How to avoid micromanaging and inhibiting creativity

In the sixth episode of UCL School of Management's new podcast, host Vaughn Tan talks to Colin Fisher about his work ​on micromanagement and how to avoid it, especially in industries that require creativity. Colin explains how his experience as a professional musician helped shape his research focus, and the idea of how real-time interaction and improvisation in small groups lead us to new thoughts, new ways of behaving, and in some cases come up with something new that as individuals we wouldn't think of. You can find out more about Colin's work here.
