#0386 – Escaping the Micromanagement Trap with Chris Seifert

43 minutes

Today, I’m joined by Chris Seifert, and we're talking about Escaping the Micromanagement Trap. Chris is the founder of Enabling Empowerment

and author of Enabling Empowerment: A Leadership Playbook for Ending

Micromanagement and Empowering Decision-Makers. He’s spent over 20 years leading teams—from the control room of a nuclear submarine to the plant floor and the boardroom. Chris helps leaders cut through complexity, stop micromanaging, and build environments where people are trusted to lead and expected to own the results. His mission is straightforward: to equip leaders with the tools to build teams that are aligned, accountable, and energized. I’m excited to have him on the show to learn more about Escaping the Micromanagement Trap.
