Let your stuff focus on their work

Trust begets trust.  Do you trust your staff to do their jobs and do them correctly?  If not, you have a situation that needs to be resolved. Your issue may be that:

• Your staff truly doesn’t have the skills to get the job done. If this is the case, you need to train your staff or add people with the correct skills.
• You may not have the self-confidence or experience to lead an experienced staff. This can manifest itself in a need to interfere or micromanage.

Obviously, there is a difference between general management and micromanagement and even the best leaders can sometimes devolve into micromanagement when stress is high. But when you have confidence in your staff, they will know it.  No one wants to be micromanaged; people want to work for those who value their contributions and that treat them like professionals.

There is also a difference between micromanagement and rolling your sleeves up and working alongside your staff when necessary.
