Some people become control freaks in an area because in other areas of their life, things are falling apart. Or because they feel the other person is better looking, more qualified, more liked by people than themselves, then controlling that person gives them such a kick! I've experienced being controlled by both types in my own life - and got out of the situations too!
Control freaks kill initiative and creativity of their team members. Also, ownership shifts from doer to controller. Secret of success lies in making everydody an accomplice. This comes with sharing and trusting.
Life becomes a disaster for the controlled if any of the following is a control freak….
Either of the spouses, parents & even the boss. The ‘ contrôlée’ loses his/her creativity and self confidence.
Excellent observations. Thank you!
