Let me ask you this – are you constantly finding yourself struggling to let go of control when it comes to tasks you’ve delegated?

Perhaps you make endless corrections and demand multiple drafts?

Do you find yourself redoing work that team members have completed?

Or are you often feeling frustrated because completed tasks weren't done exactly "your way"?

If you're nodding, you're experiencing a common dilemma: how do you maintain quality without becoming overbearing and being a bottleneck in your business?

In a previous episode, we discussed the general problem of micromanagement which can be a challenging leadership struggle to overcome. Today we're getting more specific and focusing on the work review process itself.

It’s Part 1 of my larger three-part Work Review Extremes series in which I'll show you exactly how to review your team's work effectively without being too overbearing (micromanaging) or too laissez-faire (hands-off)/ Instead, I’ll teach you how to review your team’s work in a balanced way that empowers them and benefits your business as a whole. You'll discover when detailed oversight is necessary versus harmful, and practical techniques to maintain quality while leading your team.

You’ll also get access to a free resource I created called the Balanced Leadership Work Review Guide. Inside, you’ll find printable PowerSheets, a review matrix, examples, and clear instructions for using it to lead your team effectively and in a balanced way.
