God, no!
Good management (imho) is giving direction, letting people get on with doing their jobs (with appropriate oversight and governance), and selling the teams' efforts and successes to the wider organisation, whilst defending them against nay-sayers. Give people the opportunity to succeed, making sure they understand what is expected of them, whilst being available for them to tell you what you need to know.
Micro-management is a productivity and morale-killer, again imho.
