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Managers, here’s a harsh truth: treating your employees like they need constant oversight is outdated and counterproductive.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.
What’s one positive change you’ve experienced when given the freedom to work in your own way?
