Now, attention to detail is important. You cannot have a quality outcome without attention to detail.<\/p>\n
But, micromanaging is another story. This is probably one of the top pet peeves people have of their manager. How do you know if you do this?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1. You are constantly meeting with your people. I once had someone working for me, and I noticed every time I walked by her office, her whole team was in there. It’s one thing to provide guidance, it’s another thing for your team to lack independence.<\/p>\n
2. Your people feel they need to check in with you all the time because you need to sign off on every decision.<\/p>\n
3. You are copied on every email (same reason as above).<\/p>\n

Let your team run with it. They might surprise you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Now, attention to detail is important.
