🎙️ Armed with Ambition – Episode 2: Are YOU a Micromanager? How to Stop Micromanaging & Build Trust

Do you struggle to let go of control? Constantly checking in, redoing tasks, or avoiding delegation because you don’t trust the outcome? You might be micromanaging—and it could be holding you and your team back.

In this episode, I explore why leaders micromanage, how it destroys trust, and what you can do to break free from control-based leadership. I also share a personal story from my military career—how I lost my team’s trust and learned the hard lesson about leading with confidence instead of fear.

🚀 What You’ll Learn:
 ✔️ The warning signs of micromanagement
 ✔️ How micromanaging is hurting your team’s morale & productivity
 ✔️ Proven strategies to delegate effectively & build trust
 ✔️ How to stop stressing and start leading with confidence

🎯 Reflection Challenge: Ask yourself—Do I trust my team, or am I leading from fear?
