Was Howard Hughes a micromanager?
Some might call it micromanagement; I called it attention to detail and ensuring quality. When you're involved in complex projects, like building aircraft or producing films, you can't afford to overlook the fine points. I needed to understand every facet of what we were doing, from the engineering specifications to the artistic direction. My involvement ensured that the final product met my exacting standards and achieved the desired results.
