Tom Krieglstein gives three ways to stop micromanaging: build trust through clear expectations and feedback, create a plan with regular check-ins, and step back to let your team make decisions. The payoff is better collaboration and performance.
If you are a leader who is struggling with micromanaging your team, I understand it can be difficult, but it doesn't have to be that way. Here are some tips. Number one Create a culture of trust by setting clear expectations with them. Be sure to provide feedback on their performance and clarify what success looks like. Too often the team doesn't know whether they're winning or not. Be open to new ideas and ways of working and try to delegate more tasks to empower your team. Second, create a clear plan and timeline to help everyone to stay organized and on track. Encourage that communication by having regular check ins. Be sure to provide constructive feedback and celebrate the successes. Third, focus on the big picture and let them take care of the details. Give them the autonomy to make the decisions. I hope by following these tips you can help create that trust and collaboration to reduce your need to be a micromanager.
