Thanks for sharing this! As leaders, it can be hard to give up control, especially over something we’ve built. What micromanaging does to employees is not conducive to a healthy work environment. It limits growth, reduces productivity, and prevents people from doing their best work. It's best to let go of the idea of perfection, make space for learning, delegate well and trust that you've hired well!

Thanks for sharing this! Well said.

Good points made. A challenge remains. People who watch this Ted Talk who are micromanaging their people may stop and consider changing their behaviour. However, as with any advice prompting self-reflection and improvement, it is usually the micromanagers who are NOT seeking to change their ways, those who believe that their micromanaging is what will lead to improvement, who are causing the most damage to the wellbeing of the workforce.
