370: Lead Without Hovering: How to Avoid the Micromanager Trap
Today, we’re tackling a topic that just about every leader, including me, has struggled with: micromanaging. If you’ve ever thought, “It’s faster if I just do it myself,” or caught yourself hovering a little too close over your team’s work, you’re not alone. Sometimes, micromanaging isn’t as obvious as we think, but it always slows us down and keeps us stuck in the weeds. In this episode, I’ll help you recognize the subtle signs that you might be micromanaging, even if you don’t realize you’re doing it. I’ll dig into what’s really behind those habits, like the fear of mistakes or feeling guilty about letting go, and share practical strategies you can start using today to move from micromanaging to truly mentoring your team. I’ll also give you tools to empower your team, clarify your expectations, and provide the kind of support that grows leaders without all the second-guessing and double-checking. So if you’re ready to create a high-performing team and reclaim your time as a leader, join me as we make the shift from managing every detail to building real trust and momentum in your business. to grab the podcast companion workbook to use with our most popular episodes.
