Micromanagement kills trust, creativity, and team morale. So why does it happen? Often, it’s driven by fear – fear that the work won’t meet expectations or that letting go means losing control. But when you let go strategically, your team actually grows stronger, and does better work. The trick is to start small. Delegate one task without intervening. Focus your energy on outcomes, not processes. And remember that trust is built when people feel empowered to succeed. And if you're on the receiving end of micromanagement, these phrases are a great way to push back. Thanks for sharing them, Leaders of the People!

Micromanagement is exhausting – for everyone involved. Years ago, I thought being involved in every detail made me a better leader. It didn’t. It frustrated my team and created more work for me. The breakthrough is trust – not so much that you let go entirely, but stepping back strategically. When you delegate effectively, you empower your team to grow, innovate, and succeed without constant oversight. I really like the practical tips for what to say when you're on the receiving end of micromanagement, Leaders of the People.
