Micromanaging kills your team's resourcefulness and traps you in the weeds. Hire smart people, set clear systems, then let them work. Use KPIs and check-ins to stay accountable without controlling every move.
How does micromanaging impact your team? As we grow and as we scale, we put people in place. Let's say account managers, people doing websites, people doing SEO, people doing pay-per-click. And when we haven't developed leadership skills and we haven't put systems and procedures in place, we probably believe it'll set the day up for them, tell them exactly what to do, tell them exactly how to do it. And the reality is when you micromanage your team, you eliminate the resourcefulness. A lot of times a really good productive person that can manage their own data, can make their own decisions, is gonna just ain't working. Even if you've got a, a solid person and you're micromanaging them, you're enabling them to be the kind of person that has to go to you for everything, which makes it so that you can never be free, so that you can never have the flexibility to focus on what you do best. And so it's really important to get smart people, to have good systems and procedures, and allow them to self-direct. Yes, have KPIs. Yes, have check-in meetings, but make sure that you're not micromanaging.
