I’m not going to lie, I was one of those people, but with reading, and probably because I’m maybe just a tad bit more mature now, I don’t see it like that. People will say the s-type is unable to function on their own and can’t be a very good s-type if their dominant is always having to tell them what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. Usually, when someone in the lifestyle hears about a slave or submissive being micromanaged, the s-type being discussed is usually talked about in a not so nice and rather judgemental manner. Like everything else in life, both have their pros and cons and not only that but depending on how your dynamic is, one is not better than the other. I realized that micromanaging and macromanaging are more leading styles versus being types of service, like proactive, which is why macromagement is a better fit as the opposite of micromanaging. All you need to do is substitute dominant for “manager or management” and sub/slave for “subordinate and support staff” and the definition then fits a lot better. Even though these terms do appear quite a bit in the business world, they do still apply to the BDSM lifestyle. With only having an idea as to the definitions of these words, I had to turn somewhere to find something a little more concrete. Okay, I know that definition makes no sense, so let me hopefully make it a little clearer-macromanaging means the support staff are competent in their job duties and require little to no supervision to complete their assigned tasks. : anything very large scale, scope or capability, large controlling strategy. : Management or control with excessive attention to minor details where a manager closely observes or controls the work of subordinates. Today will be the differences between micromanaging and macromanaging and later will come the article about reactive vs proactive service.īefore I go any further, I want to define what micromanagement and macromanagement is. So, I’m breaking this down into something more manageable. I found a lot and read a lot and realized that I couldn’t fit everything into just one article without having an article that would be about the size of War and Peace. With the reading I have done, I have also learned that micro/macromanaging is more of how the master leads while re/proactive service is more what the slave does. Micromanaging vs macromanaging and reactive service vs proactive service. With that, I always considered proactiveness being the opposite of micromanaging and in a way it is, but I found a better match, for both words. Let me just say, but the various answers I received, I realized this wasn’t going to be as easy of a topic as I had thought.Įver since I have started out in the lifestyle, I always heard of micromanaging and being proactive. I figured it would be a rather easy topic to write about, but before I started writing, I posted a question in a group on Fetlife asking both masters and slaves(as this is a Masters and slaves group)whether they preferred to be micromanaged or proactive and asked the masters what they prefer from their slaves. I got super excited because it’s an awesome topic. Awhile ago, I was talking to a friend of mine and asked her if she had any good topic ideas because it’s good to have outside influences and she suggested micromanaging vs proactivity.
