70% of workers consider micromanagement the biggest red flag in the workplace and 46% identify it as something that would cause them to leave their job, according to a recent survey. Micromanagement can easily trap leaders, stifling team growth and creating bottlenecks to success. So why is it so common to end up with a micromanaging boss?
In this episode, host and CEO Mark Williams opens up about his journey from controlling every decision to trusting and empowering his team. Joined by entrepreneurial coach Katie Richardson, we dive into the mindset shifts and strategies needed to move from micromanager to empowered leader.
We discuss how to balance guidance with autonomy, recognize micromanagement habits and foster a culture where your team takes ownership and drives results. For seasoned execs and emerging leaders alike, this episode offers the tools to evolve when you need to learn how to stop micromanaging and start empowering your team to reach their full potential.
