The Octopus

Everyone knows what an octopus is & of course many of you may have heard of Paul the octopus. Paul was able to successfully predict the results of the World Cup soccer matches in the 2010 world cup.
Unfortunately, some managers & leaders behave like the octopus....trying to do everything themselves. They need to have a finger in every pie, know what is going around them, who is up to what,etc etc-as if they have eight tentacles They will neither delegate authority nor allow their subordinates to make any decisions. A total dictatorship, resulting in a demotivated staff, chaos and time delay in decision making.
Is it the way they have been groomed, is it their faulty leadership style or an inherent insecurity where they consider everyone a threat to their position? Whatever it is, the organisation they work for will see a large turnover of the employees and in all probability stunt the growth of its employees who chose to stay.
