Leaders empower people, they don’t micromanage


Micromanagement demonstrates lack of trust in the abilities of your staff and that is never the right thing to do. Enable and empower people to make decisions, take actions and move forward without the need to constantly come to you for every single detail.

Obviously, levels of empowerment and decision making abilities will vary based on experience and your familiarity with particular employees, but it needs to be there, it needs to be part of your operating culture. People must be free to make decisions, fail and learn from those failures as that is all part of development and growth that you want for each of them.
