Stop Micromanaging: Strong Leadership And Letting Your Team Shine. (The Worksheet)
You don’t want to micromanage. But you might be doing it anyway.
Do you…
- Do the thing yourself because it’s faster that way?
- Correct employee tasks… again?
- Make people check with you before completing their work?
- Ask people how long their work took?
If these are regular habits, you may be micromanaging.
Holding people back
This kind of behavior has many “good” justifications.
But all it does is make your employees rely on you for everything.
Which strips them of any freedom, autonomy, or development.
And worse than all that: it signals to them that you don’t trust them.
Letting people shine
Think of your management style and ask yourself:
- Do you let people try new things at work?
- Do you make it easy for them to develop new skills?
- Do you trust them to get the work done?
Lead by letting them lead
Listen to your employees and develop their roles together.
Where can you start? With today’s worksheet: let your employees tell you what they want to
- Do
- Learn
- Achieve
And work those things into their goals for the rest of the year.
