Leading vs Micromanaging.
Leadership is based on trusting the people that you work with giving them room to contribute freely.
Micromanaging is fueled by a fear of thinking that no-one else can do it better than you. People can’t grow if you micromanage them.

Leadership is already hard enough without having to manage unhappy employees. Always put your relationship with your team, before your ego or your fears.
The best way to lose your most valuable talent is by micromanaging them. Let people add value, have a conversation with them if you want to understand what they’re doing. But don’t micromanage.
Either way, leadership is not easy and it takes time to find your groove. The only way you can become a good leader is by learning and improving overtime. Don’t be hard on yourself if you haven’t figured it out yet, but always make it a priority.
