Not really. Micromanaging is a personality thing, CCIE does not add that
*quality*.
One would be micromanaging anyway if one does so.

Whichever way you go, please don't try to be a manager and a tech at the
same time.

I've had a few managers that try to be managers and stay technical.
They end up being horrible at both.

I think it has something to do with them micro-managing everything the
techs do and drives us all crazy.
