Does your manager micro-manage you or just trust you to do a good job?

[srij]

Today my boss casually mentioned that I'd have to take a pre-contract site meeting for him tomorrow morning as he'll be unavailable. It's no big deal for me to do this, but what HAS just come as a shock is realising how different things are now. My previous manager would not have trusted me to even take the minutes of such a meeting. :rolleyes:

Anyway, on a recent thread about having to repeat yourself at meetings, there was a lot of interesting stuff about how business works in India. What I'm wondering is how all sorts of other cultures handle this stuff. For instance is the Indian culture one of micro-management or is there a culture of people having to "get on with it" and only seeking assistance when they don't understand something?

Or, is this something that varies between different companies? Anyone care to offer any experiences or insights?
