Micromanaging kills morale and productivity.
While it may feel good to a manager, micromanaging just doesn’t work long-term. Trying to do everyone else’s job is a good way to lose your own – and good people – at the same time.
This is why the best bosses always try to hire people that are smarter than themselves.
People that are excellent in their disciplines always pay dividends. You may have to pay a bit more, but spending extra up front provides extra operational benefits:
- Tasks get done right the first time. Expensive re-work is reduced.
- Everyone learns more from the experts. The organization gets smarter.
- Consistent, high-quality work builds a reputation among employees, customers and prospects. You sell more, for premium fees, because you deliver more.
Hiring people smarter than yourself is the answer to the limitations of micromanagement.
Find the best and give them what they need to do their jobs. Let them soar and they’ll take you and your company with them.
Have a great week.
