==First Person-Viewpoint==
We all view the world from our unique first-person viewpoint and perspective. But if other people's viewpoints cannot be comprehended, or there is a [[Lack of Empathy]] towards others, the viewpoint or ideology becomes disconnected, uncaring, unchecked, fixated, obsessed and destructive. This is the root of [[Negative Ego]].  The belief (or fear) that “no one can get the job done as well as I can” or “if you want it done right, do it yourself” drives many control freaks to interfere, bosses to micro-manage, and poor leaders to manipulate or overreach. Along with their first-person viewpoint, and inability to feel compassion for others position, their fear of failure drives them to control every aspect of their world as they attempt to ensure success and reduce their anxiety. In any case the control freak is preserving their own selfish interests at the expense of other's. Children are born believing they are at the center of the universe; tyrants never outgrow this belief.

They may criticize other's work and find it unacceptable. The control freak believes that since others can't be trusted to get the job done, there is no alternative to doing it yourself.To work with such an untrusting control freak it may be helpful to gain their trust carefully and gradually over time.
