No, but you can play the following political game:
You have a small workplace, right? Find a way to get some private conversation with each co-worker. In each private conversation, "confide" (pretend this is a LARP!) that you're worried that you're too overbearing and ask them if they have any advice for you on how to fix that. Be sure to work into the conversation how you're asking because you trust them, and you trust they won't bring up this embarrassing moment of weakness on your part with anyone else.
When you're done working your way through the office, every individual will think they're in a special relationship with you where they can take their problems with you directly to you. It will cut down on them complaining to other people.
