Are you caught in the tug-of-war between giving your team autonomy and keeping control? Micromanagement often comes from fear. 

Fear the work won’t get done, or that mistakes will slip through. But here’s the paradox: the more you micromanage, the less likely your team is to perform at their best. 

In this episode of Find Grow Keep, Karen Kirton shares a practical 3-part framework to help leaders foster strong collaboration without slipping into micromanagement. 

You’ll learn: 

• Why micromanagement drains both managers and teams — and the hidden business risks it creates 
• How trust is built in the small, everyday moments that matter most 
• Why clarity of outcomes is more powerful than controlling every step 
• Practical tools for delegation and accountability (including the Levels of Delegation model) 
• How to shift from giving instructions to empowering through coaching and communication 

Karen also guides you through a quick reflection exercise so you can spot your own micromanagement tendencies and start making small shifts today. 

🎧 Tune in to discover how to move from control to empowerment, and create the conditions for a high-performing, motivated, and trusted team.
