Micro-managing your team can lead to a massive breakdown of trust. Employees feel disempowered, their imagination becomes stifled and productivity plummets.

Could this be you?

• Do you focus on the details instead of the big picture? 
• Is it your way or the highway?
• Do your teams tend to play it safe?
• Do you trust that your teams can do the job?
• Is all your checking, monitoring and rework becoming all-consuming?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you may want to begin the process of letting go. When you can’t trust your teams to do their job, it won’t be long before that actually comes true. Not much good can come from a micro-management style of leadership. No time like the present to let it go.
