Bus/Financial - Human Resources / trusting in organizations
English term or phrase: hoarding behavior
"Trusting others can be difficult, especially for a perfectionist or a workaholic. One top manager we worked with swore that he was going to delegate several important responsibilities. He brought in a new person at a senior level, but he was simply unable to trust her to do the work. After a few weeks, he began managing around her, issuing directives about things he had supposedly delegated and generally making her life miserable. Eventually, the manager’s *hoarding behavior* left him isolated and hobbled."
