Micro-managing failure in the Declaration of Independence.

From the Declaration of Independence:

"He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them."

You know what they say: Employee hate a micro-managing boss, but if you're GOING to micro-manage, at least do it WELL. You have refused to let the managers that report to you make any decisions, reserving all authority for yourself, but then you let things sit on your desk for weeks without any comment -- and your managers wonder why they are even working for you!
