You've surely heard it before, but whatever you do in your manager and leader role, don't micromanage.
You are likely micromanaging if you answer "Yes" to the following four questions:
- Do you fear having your employees' mistakes attributed to you?
- Do you require subordinates to report on everything?
- Do you think I could do it better?
- Do you believe you are indispensable but find yourself stuck in a rut?
And remember,
- Don't be a bottleneck
- Focus on outcomes, not minutiae
You can learn more about how not to micromange in the booklet Best Life: Tips for 2009.
