How to Avoid Micromanaging Your Employees
The vast majority of employees absolutely despise being micromanaged. And it’s no wonder. There’s no faster way to show an employee you don’t trust them than by micromanaging every task they perform.
Let’s take a look at how to avoid micromanaging employees. Doing so will create a more positive work environment for everybody involved.
First Steps HIRE QUALIFIED EMPLOYEES THAT CAN BE TRUSTED When you hire the best fit for an open position, there’s no need to manage their every task. Trust goes a long way toward avoiding micromanaging.
ALLOW FOR MISTAKES
AVOID MANAGING TASKS
Mistakes are going to happen whether you micromanage or not. When mistakes happen, allow your employees to learn from them and move forward.
Rather than managing individual tasks, manage employee expectations. A skilled employee will know what tasks need to be completed in order to reach a desired expectation.
GIVE EMPLOYEES MORE RESPONSIBILITY
Final Steps
As an employee earns more of your trust, reward them with a higher level of responsibility. Allow them to take some tasks off your plate, then trust them to do those tasks up to standard.
AVOID THE MICROMANAGING TEMPTATION Your employees were all hired to do a job that you trusted them to do. Step back and allow them to do it without managing every detail. Your workplace morale will be vastly improved.
