Why do Leaders Micromanage?

The 200% Life

Aug 30 2022 • 43 mins

We recently surveyed our Founder and Force Multiplier community, and one of the most common concerns from both leaders and their force multipliers was how to get leaders to give up more control and stop micromanaging. A lot of Chiefs of Staff and Executive Assistants are looking to flourish more in their role and help their leaders break free of having to manage every decision. At the same time, leaders themselves know that they should give up more control, but don’t know how to let go. Hallie and I break down what causes leaders to micromanage and how to recognize if you are micromanaging as well. We also shed some light on the cost of micromanaging and why culture is so important to create a space for people to flourish and take chances that can improve effectiveness, happiness, and overall productivity.
