STOP GETTING IN YOUR TEAM’S WAY. Managers, here’s a harsh truth: treating your employees like they need constant oversight is outdated and counterproductive. As Neha K Puri states in this post, “You’ve hired professionals—not children.” You don’t need to scrutinize their every move. And they shouldn’t need to ask for permission to have a life outside of work. So, if you want to see a transformation in your company… Start trusting and empowering your team. Micromanagement stifles innovation and kills motivation. Give your team ownership and you’ll lay down a path that leads to high performance. At the end of the day, you’re paying for results, not hours. Here’s how you create a company where people can do their best work: • Choose the Right People: Look for attitudes that fit with your company’s values. • Trust Their Abilities: Delegate outcomes rather than tasks, then step back. • Provide Flexibility: Let the team determine what works best, whether that’s working in the office or remotely. • Encourage Independent Thinking: Let them choose the best path to achieving the outcome. Only step in to offer support and resources. • Develop Enablers: Train your managers to serve as mentors and enablers, not controllers. • Keep the Dialogue Open: Create a safe space where feedback and ideas can flow freely. • Recognize Milestones: Shine a spotlight on achievements to keep the spirits high. • Value Life Beyond Work: Create a culture that respects personal time and well-being. Let go of rigid oversight - and create a workplace where trust is high, creativity blossoms, and productivity soars.
