Benjamin,

When any board needs to formalise exactly how a CEO is to share a specific
public document, that is micromanagement!

I would go so far as to say it's so bad because:
- when a CEO needs to formalise exactly how a Marketing Director is to
share a specific public document, that is micromanagement!
- when a Marketing Director needs to formalise exactly how a SEO consultant
is to share a specific public document, that is micromanagement!

Sincerely

Alan
