Micromanaging:Let It Go
Become a Better Leader
The best leaders have the sense enough to pick good people to do what they want to be done and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it.
Micromanagement is one of the most widely condemned managerial sins and one of the most common employee complaints. It results in significant:
- Direct, indirect, and hidden costs to organizations
- Low morale
- High turnover
- Inefficiency
- Instability
- Lack of continuity
The line between an effective leader and a micromanager can be thin. Control is the opposite of trust, and micromanaging sends the message to your team members that you don’t trust them to do their jobs.
