⚠️You are a BAD manager, if you’re doing any of these things.

But don’t worry, I’m also going to give you a solution for each.

Here are 3 things you’re probably guilty of right now:

1. Providing constructive feedback on matters not previously discussed
↳ if your team don’t know this falls under their scope of responsibilities, how you judge this output?

2. You’re a micromanager
↳ demanding constant visibility over their work decreases morale and engagement.

3. You don’t know how to say “no”
↳ nobody likes a people pleaser. Your team need to know that when they’re going gets tough, you know how to make difficult decisions.

So, what’s the solution?

➤ conduct regular 1:1s to discuss expectations, that what there’s no surprises.

➤ provide some autonomy to help build mutual trust and confidence.

➤ enroll yourself into a leadership course to understand what it takes to be an effective manager, because nobody was born a great leader
