One of the hallmark traits of great leaders is their ability to build great teams with the expertise to help the organization achieve its vision and, in the process, fulfilled its purpose. These leaders have the wisdom to give their team the freedom to produce great work because it makes no sense to recruit the best and micromanaging their work.
It’s counterproductive; it will affect your team’s morale and, in the process, create a very dysfunctional place to work. When you have a great group of passionate, inspired, and motivated people eager to make a difference, give them the freedom to work, create an environment that allows them to become the very best version of themselves.
When leaders recognize that they don’t have to be the smartest person in the room, these are the companies that consistently pull off innovative or heroic feats in business because so many of the people who work there are given the freedom to make it happen.
I have had my fair share of micromanaged positions which ultimately lead me to look for another opportunities. As a hiring manager when you ask the question “What are you looking for in a new opportunity?” and the answer is something like “professional growth or I’m looking to work my way into a management position” that is a clear sign this candidate does NOT need you to micromanage their work. Most micromanagers will deny being a micromanager while he/she continues to tell you how to do your job.
