It is hard to balance: providing vision and direction but also autonomy amd room for growth.
As a manager, I get nervous: did I give my direct too much free-space and he/she did stuff that wasn't necessary? Will they resent me from wasting their time? Will they hate their job if they don't develop meaningful skills?
Each member of my team has GREAT capabilities. I want what's best for them. I sometimes get so EXCITED about what they are doing or capable of doing - I forgwt to stop "sticking my nose" in their work.
- waheoo 6y agoDifferent personalities require different management styles. Personally I love having a manager that takes care of all my priority setting and frequently chases me for status updates. I struggle with those things, them doing this helps me focus on what I'm good at. Other personalities do not respond well to this lack of space. Neither of what I. Describing is micromanagement but I hate when people trope that they give their reports as much space as possible. That's a good way to waste my potential.
