Micromanagement is the fastest way to lose good people.

If you don’t trust your team, why hire them at all?

Is your boss always watching?
Do they need updates every hour?
Are they more focused on control than results?

If yes, you might be dealing with a micromanager.

The bad news? 
It kills trust and motivation.

The good news? 
You can handle it. 

❌ 9 Signs of a Micromanager:
1. They Struggle With Trust
2. They Struggle to Delegate
3. They Hover Over Your Work
4. They Need Constant Updates
5. They React Poorly to Initiative
6. They Obsess Over Small Details
7. They Focus on Blame Over Solutions
8. They Give Overly Detailed Instructions
9. They Demand Approval for Everything

A great boss trusts and empowers. 
A micromanager controls and suffocates. 

If these sound familiar, you might be dealing with one.

📍How to Handle It: 
✔️ Deliver quality work to build trust.
✔️ Understand why they micromanage.
✔️ Keep them updated before they ask.
✔️ Show results instead of explaining every step.
✔️ Have open conversations about working styles.
✔️ Frame independence as a way to improve efficiency.
✔️ Suggest structured check-ins to reduce interruptions.
✔️ If nothing improves, consider escalating or moving on.

Break free from micromanagement,
Own your work, build trust, and set boundaries.

Intercountry Adoption Accreditation and Maintenance Entity, Inc. to Withdraw as Accrediting Entity

Intercountry Adoption Accreditation and Maintenance Entity, Inc. to Withdraw as Accrediting Entity

Last Updated: May 29, 2025

 

Intercountry Adoption Accreditation and Maintenance Entity, Inc. (IAAME) has confirmed that it will cease serving as a designated accrediting entity. IAAME and the Department are working together to identify a mutually acceptable date upon which IAAME’s work will conclude and all accrediting entity responsibilities will transfer to Center for Excellence in Adoption Services (CEAS).

The Department appreciates IAAME’s work and its many years of accrediting and approving U.S. adoption service providers (ASPs). IAAME’s work in support of children, their birth families, and prospective adoptive families under the 1993 Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption (Adoption Convention), the Intercountry Adoption Act of 2000 (IAA), and the Intercountry Adoption Universal Accreditation Act of 2012 (UAA) began in 2017. IAAME served as the primary accrediting entity with jurisdiction encompassing the entire United States until CEAS was designated as a second accrediting entity in 2022 and the two organizations jointly performed the responsibilities of accrediting, approving, monitoring, and overseeing U.S. ASPs.

Gevluchte Gini Pullen blijft vechten voor weeshuis in Oeganda: ‘Mijn missie stopt niet’

Het contrast is groot. De Hardenbergse Pullen werkt niet meer aan de rand van het Oegandese dorpje Mpigi, maar woont in een nieuwbouwwoning in Hardenberg. Met haar vijf geadopteerde kinderen van Oegandese afkomst is ze uit Afrika gevlucht. Haar woning is bekostigd door een Hardenbergse weldoener. Zelf geld om er een te huren of te kopen heeft ze niet.

 

„Ik ben het land ontvlucht na een hele hoop negatieve ervaringen die me gewoon te veel zijn geworden.’’

Overval en verkrachting

Vooral een overval begin 2020 op haar weeshuis van stichting Home of Hope and Dreams heeft er bij haar ingehakt. „Ik was in Nederland toen ik erover hoorde. Waarschijnlijk werd de overval gepleegd door vijftien mannen en onder aanvoering van een oud-medewerker. Er zijn wel mensen opgepakt, maar tot een berechting is het nooit gekomen.’’

The Commissioner for German-French Cooperation

Minister of State for Europe Gunther Krichbaum is the Commissioner for Franco-German Cooperation. He coordinates political relations with France and works to promote broad-based societal exchange between the two countries.


On the French side, this task has been carried out by Benjamin Haddad, Minister of State for Europe at the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, since September 2024.

On the 40th anniversary of the signing of the Élysée Treaty, on 22 January 2003, the two governments agreed to intensify their cooperation by holding a Franco-German Council of Ministers on a regular basis and by each appointing a commissioner for Franco-German cooperation. With the Treaty of Aachen, signed on 21 January 2019, this cooperation was expanded further, intensified and geared to the challenges of the coming decades.

Franco-German cooperation

The Commissioners are responsible for coordinating Franco-German cooperation at the governmental level. As envisaged in the Treaty of Aachen, the Commissioners monitor the multiannual agenda of projects adopted by the Franco-German Council of Ministers and report back to the Council. They inform the parliaments as to the overall progress made in the area of Franco-German cooperation.
