How to Stop Micromanaging

Micromanagement can hinder team productivity and reduce their confidence in their abilities. Many managers engage in micromanagement for various reasons, but this approach is inefficient and takes focus away from more valuable tasks. Forbes suggests that micromanagers must understand how they are holding the team back, focus on the bigger picture, help work to happen, delegate with trust, and appreciate skills outside their own. Effective leadership involves building team culture that facilitates better work and delegating tasks while trusting the team members to deliver on them.
