Step Back to Lead
Good managers know when to step back.
Intervening too often stifles creativity, ownership and morale. Teams thrive when leaders provide clear direction, trust their abilities and give them space to execute. Micromanagement creates bottlenecks, while autonomy pushes innovation and accountability.
The best work happens when leaders empower, not overshadow.
