How to Manage without Micromanaging

How to Manage without Micromanaging
group of professionals in brainstorming meeting

You’re responsible for the results of your team and you want to get the best quality and productivity from them. You know that requires oversight, but when does it become micromanaging? What is the “just right” amount and when does it cross the line?

In this seminar, you’ll learn how to navigate this tricky, and critical, aspect of managing others.

Micromanaging is one of THE most important mistakes managers make and it costs employers dearly. In fact, research by Blessing/White has shown that having autonomy, i.e. freedom from micromanaging, is THE #1 driver of discretionary effort, i.e. employees working harder than required to keep their jobs.

In this seminar, you’ll learn how to:

  • Identify how much oversight an employee needs.
  • Provide clear, actionable expectations and feedback, so employees are set up to succeed.
  • Discuss what you need from an employee for you to provide greater autonomy.
