According to the case study, Peter Smith asks a lot of questions and it is understandable that Keith gets upset about this. Keith Schmidt is the executive director of the organization and an executive directors main responsibility is to oversee the day to day operations of the organization as well as implement cost effective plans in a timely manner (“Executive Director Duties and Responsibilities”, 2002). In this scenario Peter Smith wants to control everything which is the main characteristic of a micromanager and he does not allow Keith Schmidt to do his job properly.
